Insulation in complex areas such as cavity walls, partition walls, or suspended ceilings presents significant challenges in any construction or renovation project. PUREFLOC, URSA’s white blowing wool solution, stands out for its flexibility and its ability to adapt to these hard-to-reach areas, ensuring even coverage and continuous insulation while delivering outstanding thermal performance. 

A better quality of life, lower operating costs, and an active contribution to climate protection.

In today’s context, resource optimization and sustainability are essential for the success of any project—especially in energy-intensive sectors like construction. Logistics, often overlooked, plays a key role in the efficiency and sustainability of a building project.

Energy costs have been rising steadily in recent years. Reducing utility bills while minimizing our environmental impact is a constant concern for homeowners.

Sometimes we see energy-efficient improvements in other homes and wonder whether ours would be suitable for such upgrades.

When we think about improving the insulation in our homes, we often assume it will be a long, invasive process that creates a lot of dust and mess.

There’s a common perception that any renovation done to a home will always improve or increase its value—and that’s true.

When comfort seemed impossible, PUREFLOC arrived. In Valdemoro, a home was suffering the consequences of freezing winters and scorching summers.

In high-use buildings like transport offices, comfort and sustainability often take a back seat. But not in Parla. Here, the tram offices prove that even the most demanding public infrastructures can become models of energy efficiency. With URSA PUREFLOC, walls and ceilings were insulated swiftly and without disruption—cutting energy use while dramatically improving thermal comfort for both staff and visitors. This project is more than just an upgrade: it’s a statement that better buildings aren’t a luxury—they’re a necessity. And with the right insulation, they’re within reach.

As Europe moves steadily towards a net-zero carbon future, one thing has become clear: energy efficiency in buildings is no longer a nice-to-have - it's a must. And with new EU regulations already rolling out in some countries, construction professionals can’t afford to fall behind.

Steel ladles play a crucial role in the steelmaking process, transporting molten steel between different stages of production, but high heat losses in every stage of the production can affect quality and increase energy costs. Promat Microporous insulation have extremely low thermal conductivity, making them highly effective in minimizing heat losses, preventing steel temperature drops, boosting energy efficiency, and extending ladle lifespan by reducing outer shell temperatures. This ensures consistent steel quality and reduces operational costs, enhancing overall production efficiency.

Steelmaking demands advanced thermal insulation to enhance efficiency, cut energy costs, and reduce environmental impact. High-quality insulation minimizes heat loss in processes over 1600°C, optimizing energy use and ensuring reliable output. Promat’s high-performing microporous and vermiculite backup lining materials offer effective solutions for energy savings in extreme temperatures, supporting a more efficient steelmaking process.
