OPTIMA System - Isover

OPTIMA System – Solutions for ISOVER Multi-Comfort House*
Today’s modern housing needs to provide much more than basic shelter from the elements – it must offer high standards of quality and
safety throughout. Just as high standards of energy efficiency have now become the norm, families today require a comfortable thermal
environment all year round, and excellent acoustic protection from both internally and externally generated noise. Equally important are
issues such as fire protection and the longevity of the property – and, of course the quality of the internal air within the building.
To address these challenges, ISOVER has developed and refined its Multi-Comfort House concept to offer the ultimate combination of
solutions to meet the demands of modern living.
