Isodur - Energy efficiency starts with the choice of building materials

When we observe the evolution of our construction, we can see how the last century was fruitful in solutions for the protection of building facades: stone masonry, reinforced concrete, single wall, double wall with brick or block, the single wall with thermal insulation and even solutions that include the use of prefabricated metallic structures. In SECILTEK, the technology has accompanied side by side this evolution thanks to the knowledge acquired over 130 years of history, ancestral know-how allied to cutting-edge technology.

Currently, the architecture, economic and environmental sustainability, high thermal performance, and durability place on this industry the challenge of putting on the market materials that meet requirements that satisfy architects, designers, and construction owners.

With the ISODUR ONE improved performance thermal mortar it is possible to combine any architectural form of buildings with high thermal performance, much by its easy application on-site through manual or mechanical spraying, in everything similar to traditional plaster.

Economic and environmental sustainability is guaranteed thanks to the incorporation of very-low-density aggregates. In addition, its speed, high-performance application, and excellent mechanical behaviour to hygrothermal variations, especially shock, eliminate constant repairs in areas accessible to pedestrians or motor traffic.

The current improvement of the thermal and acoustic comfort of the inhabitants of social housing buildings has concentrated a significant part of public investment and community funds. Therefore, ISODUR ONE has been the right choice over the last few years in various neighbourhoods in our country (e.g. Bairro da Quinta da Mina, in Barreiro; Bairro do Condado and Bairro do Ourives, in Lisbon; Bairro do Bom Pastor, in Porto; Bairro da Rosa and Bairro do Ingote, in Coimbra), thanks to the advantages listed above, but also to the high permeability to water vapour, which significantly reduces the risk of condensation, a determining factor in improving the interior conditions of the homes.

Schools have also chosen to apply the ISODUR system for its added value of resistance to impact. Examples include the EB 2/3 D. João V School in Amadora and the Valdevez Schools Grouping, among others.

The continuous application and mechanical and dimensional stability of ISODUR ONE also allow versatility of finishings, including traditional sanded, acrylic and smooth finishings.
