The ceiling is a horizontal building element located above the highest living floor. Sometimes it is underfoot, other times above the head, covering the entire ceiling or just a small part of it, made of wood or reinforced concrete. In any case, its purpose is to separate the living space from the area under the roof, as well as protect against extreme temperatures in that space.
You can retain warm air in winter and enjoy pleasant coolness during summer heat. The best way to achieve this is with Purios foam. The effectiveness of this material has been confirmed by thousands of our clients for over 20 years.
A ceiling insulated with Purios foam means a higher standard of living.
Both wooden and reinforced concrete ceilings are structural elements of a house that separate the living space from the unused area. This applies to both houses with habitable and non-habitable attics. In every case, proper thermal insulation of this building partition is essential. Experience shows that polyurethane foam works best for this purpose.
The optimal solution for a reinforced concrete ceiling is closed-cell foam, while for a wooden ceiling, open-cell foam is preferred. Both materials effectively protect against heat loss and overheating, though they have different properties. They also share common features, such as ease of application – both types of foam adhere well to surfaces, allowing the ceiling to be insulated from above and below (and for wooden ceilings, also inside the hollow space).
The excellent thermal insulating properties of these materials can be easily compared using the heat transfer coefficient. This ensures that both types of PUR foam effectively prevent temperature transfer. It’s a simple, safe, and durable way to enjoy ideal living conditions.
Insulation is used to protect against dangerous and unwanted factors. Thermal insulation is a solution designed to maintain a relatively constant temperature throughout the year, while waterproofing provides protection against moisture. Modern insulation materials are in liquid form, which allows them to be sprayed onto the roof using appropriate equipment.
Spray insulation is primarily a precise solution. When combined with the high quality and effectiveness of the materials used, it becomes the best method for insulating a home or protecting it against rain and water vapor.
By spraying the material, you can fill all spaces, irregularities, and openings. It is also possible to seal and secure gaps, some voids, and even occasionally cover old, damaged material already on the roof.
Both polyurethane foam and polyurea elastomer belong to the most durable insulation materials. As a manufacturer of Purios systems, we regularly test our products. Thanks to this, we provide a 25-year warranty for the consistency of parameters of our foam when applied by a certified installer. Polyurea, which forms a waterproof rubber-like coating, is equally durable and resilient.
For the roof to perform all its functions properly for many years, both thermal insulation with Purios foam and waterproofing using one of our solutions should be applied.
The choice of the right material depends on many factors, including the type of roof and the materials used for its construction. That is why we invite you to contact our consultants, who, based on the information provided by you, will suggest the optimal configuration.
