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.
