Iglu' Barrier Daliform Group per pareti

Iglu’® Barrier: the protection system for retaining walls

Superior performance and durability, Iglu’® Barrier is a recycled plastic panel created to protect the waterproof layer in the walls against the ground.

Thanks to its technical specifications, it guarantees excellent compressive strength by creating a ventilated cavity and avoids contact between the ground and the waterproofing of the retaining wall.

Walls against the ground are exposed to humidity due to capillary action, to which can be added the possible condensation of humid air as a consequence of inadequate thermal insulation.
This situation can lead to the formation of mould, unpleasant odours and above all compromise the durability of the structure.
Iglù® Barrier finds application in various areas, protecting against water infiltration and rising damp.
Ideal for underground areas such as garages, cellars and other underground areas.

Among the several benefits, some peculiar aspects might be highlighted as follows:
Comfort
The resulting air chamber that is created protects from temperature changes, reducing the “cold wall” effect. Thus, heat loss may be reduced, contributing to energy savings.
Superior protection and resistance
Made of high-strength materials, Iglu’® Barrier acts as a barrier for foundations against penetrating damp, condensation and other atmospheric agents, preserving the structural integrity of buildings.
Sustainability
Daliform Group, who plays an active role in sustainability issues, collaborates with professionals and institutions to spread environmentally friendly construction practices. Iglu’® Barrier is one of them, providing projects with environmentally friendly perimeter protection.
Ease of installation
The modular and intuitive design allows for quick and simple installation, reducing construction time and costs, as well as increased safety in the excavation covering process due to excellent compressive strength.
Versatile applications
Iglu’® Barrier adapts to different foundation configurations and soil types, making it ideal for both residential and commercial buildings.

IGLU' Green Roof

GREEN ROOF – Much more than a trend: a great way to help the environment

The projects that integrate green spaces in buildings are steadily increasing, thanks also to the archistars who have been able to turn the spotlight on solutions that combine aesthetics and sustainability.
Green roofs play the leading role for projects around the world with the aim of bringing nature back to the city. This could be pursued, for example, by transforming roofs/rooftops into green spaces that can lend a distinctive character to buildings, while contributing to the fight against progressive cementification.

Green roofing is a valuable solution to the traditional system and it is now a solution adopted by many designers, both for aesthetic reasons and especially for the improvement of building performance. They are linked to the theme of Smart Cities, which embraces concepts intertwined with a new way of seeing the urban reality, based on citizens’ well-being and energy efficiency. Green roofs are permeable spaces that can counteract pollution and promote countless environmental benefits, contributing to energy savings. In some cases, the latter is as much as 10% compared to a building with a traditional roofing system.

These gardens, placed on top of a wide variety of building types, are divided into two types: extensive or intensive – depending on the thickness of the substrate. The extensive green roof is suitable for stratigraphies with reduced thickness, it is generally not usable and requires little maintenance throughout the year. The intensive, on the other hand, is the most traditional solution and allows a great variety of plants, shrubs, and trees – thanks to a stratigraphy with greater thickness.
IGLU’® GREEN ROOF, produced by Daliform Group and made of recycled plastic material, is the solution for creating a green roof that can guarantee:

  • high capacity to retain and store water, facilitating more gradual drainage in case of heavy rainfall and avoiding the disappearance of vegetation due to a lack or excess of water.
  • environmental sustainability through the improvement of the macro- and micro-climate and of air quality.
  • sound insulation, mitigating the action of acoustic waves and reducing propagation to the underlying environments by some decibels, resulting in improved comfort inside the building.
  • thermal insulation, with less heat loss in winter and natural cooling in summer.

Easy Park® Griglia di protezione per prati già formati

Awareness and sustainability in the Daliform Group lawn protection grids

During these years, the problem of plastic pollution of our planet has reached an unprecedented urgency. More and more we realize the importance of being able to recycle it, giving it new life, thus avoiding further contamination of the environment and the living organisms that populate it.
Even in the building sector, recycling is became one of the key point on the new construction.
For this reason, Daliform Group, which has always been committed to the creation of recycled plastic products, is pleased to highlight the numerous advantages that can be acquired by using its lawn protection grids for the creation of driveway and pedestrian flooring (with lawn or gravel finishing) or for the protection of already formed lawns.
These grids are made totally or partially of recycled plastic and it is precisely the particular compound that allows to achieve an excellent quality-price ratio.
Among the numerous products of the Daliform Group GREEN division, in addition to the flagship product PRATOPRATICO®, we can highlight E.C.O. by Pratopratico® and Green Park, capable of offering excellent quality-price ratio and, at the same time, excellent technical performance.
Another interesting product is Easy Park®, very easy to pose on the existing lawn, it could be used also in case of temporary floors for events, parking and landing areas for helicopters.
Using the Daliform Group lawn protection grids, among others, the following advantages can be obtained: no waste production (recycled and recyclable material), respect for the hydrogeological balance of the soil, better aesthetic performance of the environment, resistance to atmospheric agents.
So why recycle plastic and reuse it? For Daliform Group, the answer is clear: “Because operating with the utmost respect for the environment, with a view to awareness and sustainability, is an ethical gesture from which our generation can no longer escape”.

IGLU'® Smart fondazioni ventilate per cella frigorifera

IGLU’® SMART the smart ventilated cavity

IGLU’® SMART is the disposable formwork’s innovative system for the creation of ventilated cavities with more flexibility and simplicity and a faster installation speed.

Specialized in the production of recycled plastic products for the construction industry, Daliform Group has signed numerous innovations over the years that have improved the way of building.

DALIFORM GROUP – Creation and production of plastic products for the construction industry

The Daliform Group Company in Gorgo al Monticano (TV), has always been concerned with providing innovative solutions in the construction field that are oriented towards environmental protection and energy saving.
The Iglu’® and Atlantis Systems, based on disposable formworks in 100% recycled polypropylene, originally made to create ventilated crawl spaces and cavities, over time have found more and more uses in other fields of application, like: rainwater collection tanks, bike paths, green houses, anti-root applications, green roofs, geothermic and heat recovery.
During the last years these products have had an important success on architects and landscapers with their use on green roofs in urban areas.
Nowadays urban spaces must be revised: the citizen who lives in large cities like Milan, Paris, London, Tokyo and New York feels the need for greenery, shuns asphalt and concrete.
Not surprisingly, and increasingly, both in the interventions of new urbanization and urban redevelopment, the best architects of the moment foresee that the ground level above the basements are used as greenery with trees, plants, bushes, lawns and, of course, equipped with play areas for children. These areas are increasingly thought of as a real simulation of natural environments, with slopes, hills and changes in altitude.
The most important problem during the realization of these compositions is to create different levels without excessively burdening the load-bearing structures.
Thanks to the Iglu® and Atlantis System products, it is possible to create spaces at different levels quickly, easily and absolutely economically by configuring the space in a flexible and dynamic way: a simple concrete completion casting, reinforced with a very light electro-welded mesh, will provide you with a support that, covered with a layer of a few tens of cm of fill soil, will transform what was previously a cemented space into a real green urban area.
Among the many references of Daliform Group products, one stands out in particular in the context of a social housing complex’s redevelopment in the city of Boulogne Billancourt (Paris), subject to massive redevelopment by great architects such as Jean Nouvel, Renzo Piano, Herzong & De Meuron to name a few.
Daliform Group is the point of reference in the construction industry for those who design, distribute and construct.
Is an innovative company that spreads the culture of excellence by offering the best products and best solutions for the environments in which we live, work and enjoy ourselves, that aspires to help everyone working in construction to do it better, more efficiently and more attractively, improving the quality of life.

Iglu’® Green Roof by Daliform Group for green roofs in the cities. New gardens for the city’s life.

Green architecture against the social degradation. A trend which is spreading day by day not only like a concept of the residential and private building’s furniture, but also to redevelop some degraded suburbs’ areas with innovative solutions from the technological point of view.
This is the case of a social housing complex in the city of Boulogne Billancourt (France), once inhabited by the workers of the Citröen, now incorporated by Paris itself and subject to massive redevelopment by great architects such as Jean Nouvel, Renzo Piano, Herzong & De Meuron to name a few. What was once a popular area is now turning into one of the most modern and chic districts of the “Ville Lumière”. The intervention concerned two buildings built in the 1960s, in a state of decay and inhabited by socially difficult people, to whom it was decided to make the living space more pleasant and livable: the separation surface between the two buildings, to cover the garages, it was then transformed into a green area.
The main problem that arises in the realization of these compositions is to create the different levels without excessively burdening the load-bearing structures. Of course, the existing structure had limited possibilities to be further loaded and therefore the use of Iglu’® Green Roof and the Atlantis System was the ideal solution to the problem. In fact, thanks to the Iglu’® Green Roof and the Atlantis System it was possible to create spaces at different levels quickly, easily and absolutely economically.
Daliform Group has always been concerned with providing innovative solutions in the construction field that are oriented towards environmental protection and energy saving. The Iglu’® and Atlantis systems, based on disposable formworks in 100% recycled polypropylene, initially created to create ventilated crawl spaces and cavities, over time have found increasingly widespread use in other fields of application such as: recovery and collection of rainwater, cycle paths and greenhouses, anti-root applications, roofs and hanging gardens, geothermal energy and heat recovery.

Fight against the capillary rising moisture with IGLU’®

Iglu’® is the leading market product, created and patented for the realization of sanitary spaces, ventilated cavities, under-floor cavities, ventilated floors and roofs during the construction and renovation of civil and industrial buildings.

The ventilated cavity, realized with Iglu’®, is an effective solution to the problem of rising moisture on the flooring, because the under-floor cavity’s ventilation placed under the floor, dries it naturally. Thanks to the cavity, the building can breathe, by constantly eliminating the moisture: this technique was born already at the time of the ancient Romans.
To guarantee an appropriate ventilation, both in renovation and in new buildings, the connection of the ventilated cavity to the outside with simple pipes is necessary.
As a matter of fact, to obtain a natural “chimney effect” is necessary to position the inlet holes on the northern side at a height just off the ground and the outlet holes on the southern side at a higher point (preferably up to the roof), being careful to connect the various rooms of the foundation grid together so that the entire under-floor cavity is connected. The ducts positioned inside the wall with southern exposure will heat up, causing an upward motion intaking air from the under-floor cavity.

A ventilated under-floor cavity created with Iglu’® represents an effective, quick and economic solution that makes it possible to send humidity and dangerous Radon gas to the atmosphere, which is beneficial to our health.
