Polyglass at MADEexpo 2017
Cutting-edge technology for waterproofing solutions of the future.
A waterproofing solution that respects the environment, cares about the future of our planet and focuses on ecosustainability. These concepts formed the basis of how Polyglass Spa – one of the Group’s subsidiary companies – approached MADE expo 2017.
At the Milan exhibition, Polyglass presented waterproof systems aimed at improving the insulation coefficient and energy efficiency of building envelope: solutions with high solar reflectance and systems for green roofs, pitched roofs, wooden structures and for roofs refurbishment.
There were also the more traditional solutions for reservoirs (artificial reservoirs and aqueducts), waterproofing roads, bridges and viaducts, driveable roofs, foundations and terraces and balconies.
POLYGLASS COOL ROOF WATERPROOF SYSTEMS AT THE SERVICE OF THE ENVIRONMENT
The exhibition was also the occasion to display a model developed and built in collaboration with the Iuav Architecture University of Venice, which demonstrated the advantages and potential offered by cool roof technology in terms of energy efficiency, costs, less pollution and also of products’ service life boosting.
Cool roofs are waterproofing systems with the capacity to keep the temperature of surfaces lower, even when exposed to strong, direct sunlight. Polyglass manufactures a wide range of cool roof waterproofing systems which have all been tested by the EELab - Energy Efficiency Laboratory – of the Italian University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. A research project carried out in collaboration with the University of Padua, that led to the development of the POLYSTRADA line for waterproofing, strengthening and distributing loads generated by road traffic in areas where the road surface needs to be repaired, was also presented.
