In previous articles, we defined different building solutions to prevent radon gas from entering into new buildings. In the case of dealing with the problem of radon in already built constructions, there are two ways of fighting it: ventilation or insulation.

According to current regulations and building best practices, the construction of a new building must ensure that its occupants are not exposed to radon concentrations potentially posing a risk for their health.

Polyurethane's characteristics turn it into an optimal material for the insulation of a building. Its durability is the basis of its properties against environmental agents, which make it stand above its competitors in the field of insulation materials.

Polyurethane foams are used daily in many forms at the home, the office or on leisure and sports facilities. This widespread use is due to the excellent thermal performance and airtightness achieved with spray foam insulation.

Polyurethanes are versatile, modern and...

There are different regulations establishing the measures to guarantee health and safety inside a building. Usually, protection against radon has its own section.

From the point of view of healthy buildings, we are developing some articles about radon to see how this gas can be dangerous for our health if it is accumulated inside buildings. But, once we have identified where we are exposed to radon gas, it is essential to...
