2. Wall and Roof Insulation Board
Elastopor can also be applied as insulation board for
walls and roofs. These boards are lighter and easier
to handle. They are made of tongue-and-groove
connection that not only makes them easier to install,
but also ensure that the joints are seamless.
The PU boards also have a higher degree of
dimensional stability, which is the key characteristic
to ensure sustained insulation properties over time.
Other insulation systems, for example, tend to settle
over time, causing a gradual reduction in the degree of
thermal insulation performance.
The other advantages of the PU boards are that they
are thin, resulting in more internal living space, and they
are versatile enough to be used both in the construction
of new buildings and in retrofits.
