Driven by a relentless demand to continually advance, improve and modernise, the construction industry requires applications to provide more efficient, sustainable and cost-effective building practices.
Delivering these incentives relies on one solution – enhancing construction product solutions. Whether sealing, insulation or NVH (noise, vibration and harshness), the elements that form a structure require the correct applications to satisfy all the essential building standards.
In this blog, we look at the various high-quality construction solutions that can support your next project, with further recommendations across building features.
Providing a barrier against external elements is an essential part of construction. Whether moisture, dust or gasses, preventing ingress of all varieties is a basic yet challenging standard to expect from numerous construction product solutions.
For example, foam fabrication can seal profiled filler blocks fabricated for profiles or flashings on roofing applications. In this approach, we recommend choosing a polyethene foam as it provides a thermal insulation solution alongside sealing. Other types of sealing materials that you can use for various construction product solutions include:
Silicone is highly flexible, durable, and resistant to extreme temperatures, while EPDM rubber is ideal for weather resistance and electrical insulation. On the other hand, polyurethane offers excellent adhesion to various substrates often applied across residential and commercial properties.
You’ll find construction sealing solutions in applications like joints, glazing, facades and roofing. Construction sealing solutions are also now integral in modern buildings due to energy efficiency demands imposed by sustainability guidance.
Construction companies must follow the new Future House Standard for 2025, ensuring all new homes produce 75-80% less carbon emissions than homes completed under the current regulations.
Therefore, high-performance seals are essential for construction solutions to reduce heating and cooling demands by lowering energy consumption, reducing costs and supporting the planet.
High-quality insulation materials are integral for maintaining thermal comfort and energy efficiency inside buildings. Various construction product solutions demand these insulation properties to be applied across many building features including walls, roofs, floors and foundations.
For example, adhesive tape is an ideal construction solution, providing sealing alongside acoustic and thermal insulation for raised flooring. We recommend using EPDM or polyurethane materials. Including EPDM and polyurethane materials, other thermal and acoustic insulation options include:
Numerous applications require thermal and acoustic insulation materials in building construction, with advanced construction product solutions designed to meet strict building regulations that promote energy efficiency, comfort, and cost-effectiveness while removing any danger.
One of these dangers is fire hazard risks. Therefore, fire resistance is another critical component to consider for your thermal and acoustic insulation materials in building construction.
Before investing in thermal and acoustic insulation materials in building construction, look for products that satisfy sustainable building standards and safety imposed by The Building Safety Act.
Finally, there is NVH to consider in construction to ensure the comfort and livability of your building meet the required standards expected from a modern habitat.
Buildings must endure and manage various sounds and vibrations within their structures. To provide comfortable living, working or leisurely conditions, you must reduce any noise, vibration and harshness to a minimum. After all, the quieter the environment, the more pleasant to be in. The various NVH materials you can use as construction product solutions include:
For example, adhesive pads are used on rooftop applications to provide NVH solutions. We recommend using a Neoprene blend sponge in this construction product solution. Polyethene foam rolls and strips offer an excellent void filler for rigid block walls, concrete, masonry and concrete floors.
