Higher energy efficiency with the best thermal insulation: polyurethane foam

The thermal conductivity is only the first of the advantages of the projected polyurethane

The projected polyurethane is not only one of the best insulations due to its low conductivity but there are other factors that make it one of the most used and recommended in construction.

The first advantages derive from the fact that it is a product that is applied in situ. This results in:

• Savings in storage: The initial volume of the two products before the reaction is much smaller than that of the product once the foam.
• Savings in transport: For the same reason as in the previous case, transport requires less space and therefore lower costs. Furthermore, as it is not necessary to transport the product in large lorries, the product can be transported to places where these would not fit.
• Adaptation to any geometry: The foam from polyurethane easily reaches hard-to-reach areas, filling in all gaps.
• It does not need to be cut: As the surface to be insulated is completely covered, it is not necessary to make any cut-outs. foam surplus or to cover gaps.
• Continuous and seamless: The thermal envelope it forms is completely continuous, so there is no thermal bridging caused by joints or gaps between various panels. thermal insulation. When applied externally, as there are no joints, it reduces the risk of cracks in the cladding.
• Elimination of thermal bridgesNot only does it not generate them, but by penetrating into all existing gaps and fissures and sealing them, it eliminates all existing thermal bridges.
• Low water permeabilityThis means that on the one hand the polyurethane is impermeable to rainwater and on the other hand allows the transmission of water vapour, lets the building "breathe", prevents condensation on the walls and improves the healthiness of the building.
• Adherence: The foam from polyurethane adheres to most building materials and therefore does not sag over time. Its adhesion is best when applied over exposed brickwork, saving on labour, time and materials as it is not necessary to apply a render.
• Resilience: In cases where water is present, the foam from polyurethane does not degrade. It is also resistant to most chemicals used in construction.
• Durability: The foam from polyurethane is a high quality product durability It is resistant to the passage of time, humidity and inclement weather and is only affected by sunlight.
• Professionalism: As it requires a projection machine, it cannot be applied by anyone, only by qualified and experienced professionals.

In addition to the advantages of the foam from polyurethane it can be said that:

• It is not harmful, nor is it toxic, carcinogenic or mutagenic. In fact, the foam from polyurethane is completely harmless and inert as it does not release any harmful substances.
• Non-flammable: The foam from polyurethane is never the source of a fire. It is combustible when exposed to an open flame, it does not melt or drip like other plastics, but its surface carbonises, thus protecting the core and once the core is removed, the plastic will not burn. foam does not spread it. It is also integrated into a construction system that protects it from fire and increases its resistance to fire.
