Todays solution for tomorrows needs

The benefits of polyurethane insulation
This document looks at the benefits of polyurethane insulation in keep down energy consumption and costs and combating climate change.

Applications for polyurethane insulation
This document looks at the many uses for polyurethane insulation including insulation boards, cavity injection, composite panels, spray and pipe insulation.

Sustainable Development – The case for PIR/PUR insulation in buildings
40% of all the energy generated in Europe is consumed in buildings. Insulation is widely accepted as the most effective way of reducing CO₂ emissions from buildings with polyurethane (PUR) and polyisocyanurate (PIR) providing exceptional performance. This paper makes a clear case for their sustainability.

Energy Efficient Buildings: Retrofit Solutions
This document discusses the background to the drive for improved energy efficiency, gives details on retrofit applications such as cavity wall insulation, spray applied polyurethane insulation, internal insulated linings and presents studies quantifying the significant improvements that have been achieved.

Insulation for Sustainability – A Guide
This guide shows in depth Why and How we should design well-insulated and energy-efficient buildings, and it discusses the criteria for choosing Which insulation material and design of insulating systems. The guide is extensively illustrated with diagrams and illustrative energy modelling.
