FROM TECHNOLOGY TO TECHNOLOGY
First the place and the conditions. Only then a kind of foam.
PUR foam is not one universal material for every place. Lightweight open-cell foam suits different conditions from a dense closed-cell system.
The selection begins with the structure, humidity, temperature, loads and the expected effect. Thanks to this, the product, thickness and method of protection of the layer result from the actual operation of the building element.
FOUR QUESTIONS ON START
What should be recognized before valuation?
01
What are we insulating?
The attic, the roof, the wall, the ceiling, the floor or the technical compartment.
02
What's a septum from?
Wood, concrete, wall, sheet metal and the state of existing layers.
03
What are the terms?
Humidity, temperature, ventilation, loads and UV exposure.
04
What's the effect?
Isolation, continuity, detail protection and standard of reception.
SELECT THE AREA
Where are you planning to do the isolation?
Each tab leads to a separate page with system selection, substrate requirements, errors and a list of data needed for pricing.
HOUSES AND LIGHT BROADS
Comfort and continuity of insulation
Solutions for skids, wooden structures, ceilings and walls with many details.
ZONE AT THE GROUND
Moisture, load and protection of details
Places requiring a compact system, a suitable substrate and planning subsequent layers.
BIG AND REQUIRED PROPERTY
Sheet metal, large cubature and work schedule
Insulation planned to take into account condensation, ventilation, layer protection and operation of the facility.
PROCESS OF SOLUTION
From the photo of the partition to the complete offer
A good quote describes not only the price per meter, but also the product, thickness, preparation, protection and method of collection.
01
Recognize the bulkhead
Specify the design, existing layers, moisture and places particularly difficult.
02
Select a system
Choose the type of foam and parameters corresponding to the conditions of the specific location.
03
Set the scope
Confirm substrate preparation, protection, thickness and protection of the finished layer.
04
Receipt execution
Check continuity, details and agreed points before covering the insulation.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How to choose the correct use of PUR foam?
FAQ
01
Is one type of PUR foam suitable for all compartments?
No. Open-cell and closed-cell foams differ in structure, mass, behavior towards moisture and typical applications. The choice should result from the design of the entire building element and product documentation.
02
Where do we start choosing isolation?
From the indication of the building element, its structure, existing layers, humidity, loads and the expected effect. The square footage is needed for pricing, but it is not sufficient to select the technology.
03
Can PUR foam be used in a humid place?
The system must be selected for the specific moisture source and operating conditions. The substrate must meet the product requirements during application, and the foam does not automatically replace waterproofing, drainage or ventilation.
04
How do you compare the offers of contractors?
Compare the product name, designed thickness, spray surface, surface preparation, protection, protection of the finished layer and acceptance method. The price per meter alone does not show the full range.
05
How do I prepare the data for the first valuation?
Send the location, photos of the entire surface and details, approximate square footage, construction description, stage of work and planned date. In more difficult facilities, the contractor may recommend an inspection.
FIND THE RIGHT NEXT STEP
You don't have to design the isolation system yourself.
Choose a building element, prepare photos and basic dimensions. The silverFoam contractor will verify the conditions and scope needed for the quotation.
