When you are concerned about thermal efficiency, you want to make sure that your door will save the most amount of money while easily maintaining the temperature inside of your home. That is where polyurethane comes into picture, lets understand what is polyurethane is and advantages of polyurethane foam that have made it one of the most popular insulation solutions for construction contractors.

WHAT IS POLYURETHANE INSULATION?

It’s a high-performance insulation material which is commonly found in commercial and industrial products such as rolling steel doors. These are usually installed inside the rolling steel doors, the foam is sprayed into place and expands to fill the entire area inside of each slat. This insulation makes air pockets and creates greater environment separation between the inside and outside of your building.

WHY IS POLYURETHANE INSULATION SO IMPORTANT?

Making an investment in the right insulation is so important because it’s directly responsible for the level of climate control, product protection, energy efficiency and sound transmission that you experience. These provide significant savings by reducing the energy consumption. Higher the thermal performance rating, the better the protection of your buildings and sustainability to the desired temperatures.

Let’s discuss the advantages of using polyurethane foam

POLYURETHANE HAS A HIGH R-VALUE

R- value is a unit of measurement which refers to the ability of a given type of insulation to prevent heat transfer. This calculation is directly related to the thickness and thermal conductivity of the material being used. The higher the R-value is, the better the insulation. Polyurethane foam is known to have a higher R-value than most other types of insulation.

POLYURETHANE ACTS AS A BARRIER TO AIR AND MOISTURE

Applying polyurethane layer to doors makes them much more airtight and waterproof, because it provides seamless insulation. Since this layer doesn’t leave any gaps in between the insulation and the substrate, it can also act as an air and vapour barrier and replace house wrap when used as exterior insulation.

POLYURETHANE INSULATION IS MOISTURE- AND MOULD-RESISTANT

Once applied to doors polyurethane becomes an inert plastic. It doesn’t absorb water or moisture or promote mould and mildew development like some types of insulation material. It will protect your doors from mould, mildew and water damage by creating a 100% waterproof barrier.

POLYURETHANE LAYER IS EASY TO USE

Another advantage polyurethane has over other types of insulation products is how easy it is to apply. It adheres to the woods easily.
