Composition of Thermal Panels

A circular image showing a close-up of a red brick wall with white mortar joints. The surface represents the ceramic tile finish used on building facades to create a solid and weather-resistant appearance.

The use of ceramic tiles on the facade of the house will create a solid appearance protected from the influence of any weather conditions.

A circular close-up image of quartz sand texture. The grainy surface illustrates the protective quartz coating applied to polyurethane foam to shield it from UV radiation and enhance bonding with grouting materials.

Quartz sand helps protect polyurethane foam from the effects of ultraviolet radiation and ensure adhesion of grouting solutions.

A circular close-up image showing the surface of a magnesium oxide (MGO) board. The texture appears smooth and fibrous, representing the reinforcing layer used in thermal panels for strength, fire resistance, and protection against deformation.

Magnesium Oxide (MGO) boards provide panel reinforcement and protect against deformation. MGO is non-flammable and hydrophobic material.

A circular close-up image showing the internal structure of polyurethane foam. The material appears as a light, porous, and uniform surface, representing the core insulation layer used in thermal panels for high energy efficiency and fire safety.

Polyurethane foam ensures the highest energy efficiency of the building. PUF is completely safe, hypoallergenic and does not support combustion.

Thermal panel Drawing

A comparison chart showing thermal conductivity, material consumption, and weight per square meter for six building materials: solid brick, aerated concrete block, wood, rock wool, styrofoam, and PU foam. PU foam is shown as the most efficient in insulation with the lowest thermal conductivity (0.023 W/m·°C) and minimal weight (2 kg/m²).

Comparison of Thermal Conductivity

Polyurethane foam used in thermal panels has the lowest thermal conductivity, namely 0.021-0.023 W/(m²*°C). A 50mm thick panel is equivalent to 121cm of solid brick masonry.

From the image we can see that significantly less polyurethane foam is required, both in volume and weight, to provide the appropriate level of insulation. This allows you to significantly reduce the cost of preparing the foundation, as well as eliminate additional subsystems.

Energy efficiency of Thermal panels

After installing Thermal Panels, we conduct an actual study using a thermal imager to evaluate the effectiveness of thermal insulation. In the above example, the outside temperature was -28°C. The required temperature inside the building is 21°C. As we can see from the results recorded by a thermal imager, after installing thermal panels, the only remaining places through which heat loss occurs are: Basement (foundation), window joints and roof joints. This case clearly shows the difference in thermal conductivity and thermal resistance in comparison with concrete walls (since the foundation is made of concrete).

Warmer zones appear in yellow and orange, indicating less insulated sections.A thermal image captured by a FLIR camera showing strong heat loss in a building’s foundation area.

A bright yellow band indicates a thermal bridge where insulation is lacking.Thermal image from a FLIR camera showing concentrated heat loss along a vertical structure, possibly a wall edge or window frame. Temperature readings show –16.5°C, –23.2°C, and –25.7°C. Bright yellow zones indicate weak insulation or thermal bridging.

To assess the energy efficiency of using thermal panels, we carried out a thermal calculation using the example of a room with an area of the enclosing structure (walls) of 200 m². This facade approximately corresponds to a house with an area of 100 m2

Recycling and Sustainability

All components of PU thermal panels, namely: Ceramic tiles, Quartz sand, Polyurethane foam and MGO board are suitable for recycling.

Methods for recycling PU foam

Mechanical method - grinding to granules of a certain size, which are then mixed with binders. The resulting material has good mechanical characteristics and is widely used in the production of products: underlays for carpets, parts for chairs and armchairs, incl. automotive and aviation - armrests and headrests, etc.

Glycolysis method - is a process in which macromolecules are split into ether and/or urethane bonds, and linear macromolecules are destroyed. The resulting products are used as additives in asphalt and asphalt concrete mixtures, mastics for various purposes, adhesives, varnishes, paints, etc.

Pyrolysis method - heating to a certain temperature without air access. As a result of pyrolysis, polyurethane foam decomposes; The final products are gases and oils of various compositions, which can be used as chemical raw materials or fuel.
