Our solutions Insulation materials

Before choosing an insulation product, it is important to ensure its thermal performance, expressed by its thermal resistance R and the lambda thermal conductivity factor. The application on which the insulation is to be used (roof, floor, walls, patio, etc.) will also condition its fire resistance, water behaviour or mechanical stability. Other criteria, such as the environmental impact can also come into play.
