Foam insulation Sopron, roof insulation Sopron

In Sopron, we worked on the insulation of the flat roof of an apartment building, during which we used closed-cell foam. The building had serious waterlogging problems, so we decided to renew the entire insulation, strengthening the roof structure for long-term protection.

We started the work by removing the gravel layer that was on top of the original insulation. Under the pebbles was an old foil, which unfortunately no longer fulfilled its waterproofing function. We also picked this up to gain access to the stable surface underneath. In order to properly prepare the surface, we dried it so that the application of the closed-cell purfoam ensures the best possible adhesion.

A special advantage of the technology used during "roof insulation Sopron" is that the foam quickly fills surface irregularities, thus creating a completely continuous insulation layer without gaps or joints. This minimizes the risk of getting wet, which is one of the most common problems with flat roofs.

During the insulation of the flat roof, we covered the entire surface with 10 cm thick closed-cell foam. The closed-cell material has an extremely low thermal conductivity, so it has excellent thermal insulation properties. Thanks to the closed-cell structure, the insulation does not absorb water, which protects the roof from getting wet. Insulation In the case of the Sopron project, watertightness was particularly important, as waterlogging problems had already caused significant damage to the interior areas of the building.

The completed insulating layer was also now treated with UV protective paint, but since the flat roof was protected by gravel, only at the edges of the roof and on the attics. This protective layer prevents sunlight from damaging the foam, thus significantly increasing its lifespan.

Thanks to the new closed-cell foam insulation, the building's owners can now look forward to rainy days. The new system prevents further soaking, while also significantly improving the roof's thermal insulation capacity.

Applications of dispersed foam insulation

Flat roof insulation with closed-cell material

Flat roof

Waterproofing and thermal insulation of new and already old flat roofs can also be solved, and we can also perform the insulation on existing bituminous surfaces without demolition!

Attic floor insulation

Attic floor

Most of heat loss escapes through the slabs, so the insulation of the attics is an important topic in when you plan the modernization of the building.

Attic Insulation

Attic

Uninhabited attics are usually insulated from the inside, between the rafters. If the attic is inhabited, it is insulated from the outside, after dismantling the shell.

Hall, warehouse

Shape-following thermal and waterproofing is the perfect choice for lightweight buildings. Say goodbye to condensation problems!

Stable Insulation with Purhab

Stable, barn, grain storage

Sterile and washable surface without complicated installation. Where the time factor is important: we can perform up to 1,000 m2 of insulation per day.

Facade Insulated foam

Side wall

Heat and sound insulation of internal side walls, as well as foam insulation of external facades. It can be easily applied even on plastered walls.

Socket Insulation Closed-cell Purfoam

Attic floor insulation

The walkable foam layer is an excellent solution for specially shaped rooms, including stairs and mechanical systems, as it helps to insulate these areas without gaps.

Ceiling insulation

Ceiling insulation

If there is an unheated living space under your apartment (a basement or a garage), it is important to insulate the floor. The foam is an ideal choice in every aspect.

Trapezoidal sheet insulation with PU foam

Trapezoid plate

In addition to soaking, the condensation problem is the biggest fault of trapezoidal sheet buildings. Dripping steam is not only annoying, but can also cause damage to the building. 

Wave slate insulation

Wave slate

The majority of slate roofs get wet, due to the complicated fixing and layering of traditional insulation, it can be said that their insulation is only possible economically with PU foam.

Tank Insulation

Tank, container

Shape-following thermal insulation and corrosion protection of tanks with fast progress. It can even be used to insulate underground tanks. Ask for our offer for foam insulation!

Terrace insulation

Terrace

Effective heat, water and sound insulation of terraces! The closed-cell material can be covered with concrete, tiles, or you can even build a green terrace on it. Remember: half of the thickness of traditional insulation is enough!
