Are you thinking of installing windows and don’t know which foam to use?

Here’s why Ultra Energy is your best option.

In 2016, the UNE 85219 standard was established, as per the window installation standard 85219, a document defining the systems and technical conditions required for the proper installation of windows in construction openings. This standard specifies that window installation must, at a minimum, ensure: (1) mechanical resistance, (2) mechanical and electrical compatibility between installation materials, (3) air permeability and water tightness, and (4) acoustic and thermal insulation.

Additionally, the standard recommends using polyurethane foam with controlled expansion for window installation.

Quilosa, always attentive to market demands, has developed a foam that not only meets all the minimum guarantees but also provides much more: Ultra Energy.

This is a foam specifically designed for the installation of doors and windows with controlled expansion, eliminating bending and deformation during the installation of frames. By using our next-generation foam, you can avoid a common problem in window and door installations: even after curing, traditional foams can expand enough to exert pressure on the frame, causing it to twist or deform, often requiring the installation to be redone.

In terms of numbers, Ultra Energy expands between 30%-60% of the applied volume, compared to the high 80%-90% expansion rate of conventional foams. Furthermore, this feature has another advantage: since the foam doesn’t expand much, there’s no need to trim it, saving time during installation.

Controlled expansion foams are denser once cured, providing superior thermal and acoustic insulation compared to other foams, thanks to their more closed-cell structure. Specifically, with Ultra Energy foam, you’ll achieve the highest acoustic insulation (64 dB) and thermal insulation (λ=0.033) on the market.

These features will ensure your window maintains and enhances its performance, increasing the comfort within your home. Moreover, with Ultra Energy foam, you’ll save money due to its high yield (45L) and time because it cures quickly (25 minutes).

Our foam also has extraordinary adhesion to PVC (+300%), can be applied at temperatures as low as -10ºC, and lasts for 18 months.

Ultra Energy foam is also part of the Three-Barrier Insulation System for energy rehabilitation and sustainable construction. This is a complete professional system that eliminates thermal bridges efficiently and permanently, reducing energy loss and providing greater habitability, hygiene, and comfort to your home, along with significant energy savings.

Additionally, it guarantees vapor impermeability from the inside out, a feature that prevents moisture condensation, which could lead to mold and even damage construction materials.
