The foundations of the house require special protection against moisture and low temperatures. If anything, polyurethane systems offer much more than the more commonly used materials: higher efficiency and greater durability. Thermal insulation and waterproofing of foundations necessitate solutions that will retain their mechanical properties for many years without being damaged by water or earth pressure.
The concrete used to pour the foundations absorbs the water, which is always present in the ground. Such saturated foundations begin to swell and crumble after a couple years. A compromised building base can lead to an uneven settlement of the building, which is tantamount to a building disaster. Proper waterproofing effectively prevents such foundation degradation.
It is not just the foundations that absorb water. The phenomenon of capillary rise affects the walls as well. It involves water pushing against its surroundings, penetrating walls and rising high above ground level. As a result, both the structure of the house and the thermal insulation on the façade are damaged. To prevent such risks, it is important to ensure a uniform and durable waterproofing layer on the foundations.
Moisture pulled up from the ground starts a chain of events destroying the entire house. The walls transfer moisture to the thermal insulation on the façade, while the building’s wet insulation material ceases to perform its function. As a result, the temperature indoors would be reduced and moisture would appear on the walls and ceiling. This is another reason why it is important to be mindful of the safety of the house at the very beginning of its construction.
Insulating the foundations with the PUR foam really translates into improved comfort. Although the ground under the building does not freeze, its temperature is slightly above freezing. A thermal insulation material with a very favourable thermal conductivity coefficient can stop the cold penetrating and cooling the floor.
The prolonged construction of the house increases the cost of the entire investment. This means that the Purios insulation systems can contribute not only to future savings, but also to immediate ones. It takes 1 day to apply PUR thermal insulation foam to the foundations. It takes the same amount of time to protect the foundations with a waterproofing layer. This is much shorter than in the case of traditional materials.
If you are a homeowner, you are also entitled to a foundation insulation subsidy. A key condition is the selection of a solution approved by national experts and included on the ZUM list. By insulating your foundations with the closed-cell foam, you can claim as much as PLN 135,000 for comprehensive thermal modernisation.

To name one example, technological development has contributed to great changes that have been occurring in the construction industry. As a company with multiple years of experience in the said industry, we can point out the most important advantages of system solutions.
Our research and certification confirming the highest quality of polyurethane systems has gained recognition from national experts. The Closed-cell polyurethane foam has been included in the ZUM list, which is a database of recommended solutions. Simultaneously, the thermal insulation with Purios foam has been included in the Clean Air Programme funding.
We have confirmation that “superior quality” is much more than a slogan. Our polyurethane systems are based on our own formulations and approved raw materials. We have also developed strict quality standards for the Purios spray foam. Our clients not only receive an excellent product, but also the support of a certified contractor.
Trust has been built for many years – just like our excellent solutions in the construction industry. We do know how important it is to have reliable and durable solutions – which is why we offer the written confirmation of the stability of parameters of our thermal insulation systems. Our clients receive the confirmation that the Purios polyurethane foam will retain its volume, fire reaction class and insulating properties for at least 25 years.

Under normal circumstance, the foundation insulation is divided into two types: waterproofing and thermal insulation. It is possible to build a house without both solutions, but this is a serious error in the art of construction, as it leads to the successive destruction of the building structure while reducing the quality of living in such a house without insulation. It is worth adopting the principle that polyurethane insulation is as important as the foundations of the building.
There are many types of waterproofing materials. The liquid protection is applied by machine, roller or brush, after which it solidifies and forms a uniform layer. Observations show that a high-quality liquid waterproofing is the best solution to be chosen. It allows a durable coating to be obtained without the risk of damage or displacement, as well as uniform and without joints.
The comfort of living in an old house is just as important as in a newly built house. It is always worth ensuring that the foundations are both thoroughly insulated and waterproofed. As for the spraying polyurethane foam, we are talking about thermal modernisation, therefore changing the energy performance of a building. All that is required is to expose the foundations, conduct the necessary repair work, dry them out, and then apply the PUR foam and waterproofing of choice.
The polyurethane systems also show an advantage in relation to the time required to conduct the work. It takes just 1 day to foam insulate the foundations of an entire building. The same amount of time is required to protect the foundations from the effects of water.
