Popular slab insulation materials, like mineral wool, cellulose fibres or styrofoam, may be not enough for a longer period due to their properties. In that case the best solution is the sprayed polyurethane foam.

An uninsulated roof and attic are some of the sources of heat loss inside the house. Therefore, it is advisable to secure every element which may reduce the quality of life of the household members. Which elements should be used and how to insulate a wooden ceiling? What should be kept in mind when deciding on the insulation of a timber frame ceiling?

Sometimes polyurethane foam insulation needs a little support to provide complete and safe protection to the house. One of the substances that protect the foam surface is polyurea. What is polyurea and what are its properties?

Unused rooms under roof often act as an attic. The fact that it is not a habitable room does not mean that its thermal insulation is less important. Find out how and with what material effectively insulate the attic, so that there was no heat escape from the heated rooms below.

Those who are enthusiasts of houses made of brick or wood are usually sceptical about year-round mobile houses, questioning their usability, especially during the cold winter months. Meanwhile, a mobile home turns out to be the perfect place to live in winter too, even in the harsh Central European climate. How is this possible? All it takes is good heating and proper thermal insulation of the entire property.

Foundation insulation is crucial when it comes to building thermal insulation. The PUR foam insulation is perfect for this use. Learn also what types of foundation damp insulation are used, how a horizontal insulation is laid and what could be the cost assessment.

Mechanical ventilation or air conditioning systems are nowadays standard equipment in virtually every public facility, as well as industrial buildings. In order to adequately protect ventilation ducts against water vapour condensation, against fire, or against the noise generated by the air flowing through, ventilation duct insulation is used. There is, however, another important factor in favour of insulating a ventilation system.

Obviously, proper foundations under a house are crucial to the longevity of a structure. There are a number of requirements that must be met in order to ensure that the foundation of a detached house - whether single-storey or two-storey - fulfils its role successfully for as long time as possible. Below you can read about things you should pay special attention to once you have decided to pour the foundations on your own.

It is truthful that a thermally well-insulated house is an energy-efficient and ecological property. Legal regulations and people's growing awareness have resulted in the need to reduce energy demand and related costs. An important element in the struggle against excessive use of energy in residential buildings and public utility facilities are certainly the insulation materials, adapted to function in specific conditions. Reducing energy consumption can be achieved through effective thermal insulation of all building partitions, but without the right materials this will be virtually impossible. Let us take a closer look at the thermal insulation materials available on the market today.

The foundation is a structural element which is primarily intended for the proper transfer of static and dynamic loads from the structure to the ground. In practice this means that the foundation should ensure stability of a structure and at the same time guarantee that its settlement will be uniform and will not cause e.g. cracking of walls or ceilings.

When selecting a roof covering, not only the price of the material or its colour should be taken into account. Below you will find information on how to choose the right kind of roofing to make it look impressive and durable at the same time.

The roof of a detached house is not only a key element of its entire structure, but also an important component that affects appearance and durability of the entire building. Nowadays in Poland, traditional roof trusses are still provided in most cases. In order to make a solid and stable support for the roof covering, its form and weight, thermal requirements as well as the type and location of individual elements crossing its surface, i.e. chimneys or skylights, and many other factors, including climatic conditions in a given region of the country, have to be taken into consideration. Simply speaking, the roof structure is a fundamental issue for the entire building, regardless of its nature and purpose.

No matter how big a project it is, especially such as building a house from scratch, it requires good organisation and considerable logistical skills, including a detailed plan of activities to be performed.

The essence of thermal imaging is to locate defects in the thermal insulation of the building, and thus the spots which generate the greatest heat losses. However, a thermal imaging survey is not only a real-time review of the condition of the building's insulation, but also an opportunity to determine the causes of heat loss in the building. Let us learn more about what a thermal imaging survey is. After all, every owner and user of a residential building wants it to be warm and energy efficient.

The struggle with dampness in the house should begin from the question of where it actually comes from and how to remove the excess moisture. Tightly closed windows and doors, which limit the exchange of air in rooms, are certainly a factor conducive to the accumulation of dampness. Furthermore, everyday activities such as washing, cooking, ironing or a hot bath increase the amount of moisture in rooms and require its efficient removal. However, the main cause of moisture may be improper thermal insulation of the building or poorly functioning ventilation. How to win this uneven fight? Well, prevention is better than cure!

Attic is one of the most vulnerable areas in a commercial building to heat loss. Poor, inadequate or no insulation at all will cause the attic to cool down constantly, which in turn will lead to much higher heating costs.In this article we will try to answer the question - PUR foam or mineral wool, what to choose for attic insulation?

They say the devil is in the detail. They also say that damp proofing equals waterproofing. Well, not necessarily.
