Polyurethane Systems for building and industry

The term Passivhaus comes from the German expression “Passive House”. It was in the 1980s that this concept was developed and it has led to a standard for low energy housing construction, that is more current than ever.

Current technical building regulations establish the minimum requirements that buildings must met, whether it is new construction or renovation. They include some thermal resistance parameters for the building envelope that force to opt for highly efficient...

Having an optimal  façades insulation system is not a whim of the builder to add more value to their assets, of the Administration to meet energy efficiency objectives or of users who want to live in a home with high interior comfort and low energy consumption. It...

The main threat affecting the envelopes of buildings is leaks. The consequences are often insidious, as the symptoms can take a long time to manifest themselves and, on many occasions, the problem is not acted upon until these leaks are detected in the lower houses,...

Sprayed polyurethane foam is a well-known product. Who has not seen polyurethane insulation at some time? In Europe, from the 80s to the present, tens of millions of square meters of polyurethane foam have been applied "in situ" in buildings. It is the so-called...

Thermal bridges reduce the thermal resistance of the elements that form the building envelope. In addition to energy losses, a thermal bridge implies the risk of condensation and the presence of mould in winter.
