The SupaWall System® that comprises SupaWall®, SupaRoof™ and SupaFloorTM has excellent sustainability and environmental credentials. This is because it essentially consists of two elements, both of which have a similarly excellent and lengthy history in the building industry:
- Timber Frame Construction
- Polyurethane Insulation
The sustainability and environmental performance of timber frame is renowned throughout the world. The UK Timber Frame Association states that “timber is, without question, the most environmentally acceptable material used in modern construction. No alternative material offers such a comprehensive range of environmental benefits
Today, about 45% of fossil fuels are used to heat and cool the interiors of buildings and homes. Through the use of insulation materials, considerable energy savings are achieved. This results in a substantial reduction of CO2 - one of the main contributors to global warming. Polyurethane rigid foam is one of the best available insulation materials for the construction of new buildings as well as for the renovation of existing buildings.
The SupaWall System® uses SupaWall® foam type 100.3 that has been specially developed to have the following environmental pedigree:
- Ozone depletion potential of zero
- Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 1
- CFC (Chlorofluorocarbon) free
- HCFC (Hydrochlorofluorocarbon) free
- HFC (Hydrofluorocarbon) free
Polyurethane foam is used extensively in the construction industry. In residential housing, polyurethane foams insulate roofs, walls and floors. Other benefits such as structural strength, water vapour resistance, durability, space-saving and lightness make rigid polyurethane composite panels such as SupaWall® a suitable material for many commercial, as well as domestic, buildings
