The durability and effectiveness of external insulation are greatly influenced by the quality of its installation. Choosing an insulation material includes evaluating very different factors: It is not just a question of the quality of the insulation materials. The preparation of the surfaces, the accuracy of the laying and continuity of the insulation across all […]
Choosing the right insulation between technical opportunities and practical constraints. Choosing an insulation material requires evaluating very different factors: Is it a new or an existing building? Are the structures to be insulated traditional, breathable or modern block and concrete? Is the insulation required internally or externally? Is the structure to be insulated an on-grade […]
Because not spending energy is more sustainable than saving it A bridge between environmental awareness and energy conservation. Building insulation is a critical component in modern construction, serving as a key factor in energy conservation and efficiency. It significantly diminishes heating and cooling costs, enhances comfort, and contributes to reducing a building’s overall environmental footprint […]
Hard surfaces yet kind to Nature A solution to reduce the impact of urban circulation areas on the environment The continuous increase of urban areas at the expense of the natural surfaces of our planet is having a significant impact globally, especially in densely populated countries such as ours. One of the main side-effects of […]
Moisture and insulation compounds: The relationship in between. Having discussed the sustainability of insulation materials on this page, we will now explore the inherent connections between the nature of the raw materials used to produce these materials and their performance when installed, highlighting that not all insulating materials are created equal. In Malta, traditional methods […]
