Inora Frost Insulation

In Finnish conditions, frost protection is important to consider in all construction, especially when the soil type is frost-prone. With Inora Routa and Infra insulation, you ensure long-lasting, load-bearing frost insulation for buildings, yards, and roads.

Frost insulation should be done properly the first time to avoid difficult and expensive repairs.

Inora's product range also includes special products for the frost protection of wells and a new formwork package for column installation, the Inora Column Form.

  • Insulates well against heat and cold.

  • Insulation performance does not degrade during its lifespan.

  • Insulation capacity improves as the temperature drops.

  • Resistant to load and compression.

  • Has good long-term load-bearing capacity, so it is also suitable for heavily loaded structures.

  • Highly moisture-resistant, does not conduct water by capillary action, and is an excellent frost insulation.

  • Dampens the effects of mechanical stress, such as vibration and impacts.

  • Does not mold or rot.

  • Resistant to organic chemicals.

  • Easy to work with and handle.

  • Can be cut with a fine-toothed saw, knife, or hot wire.

  • Can be glued, e.g., with urethane or water-based glue.

  • Can be coated, e.g., with latex paint and urethane and epoxy resin.

Building Frost Insulation

Frost insulation protects a building from frost damage. The purpose is to prevent the ground under the foundations from freezing, so that the freezing and heaving of the soil do not damage the building.

The frost insulation is sized according to the foundation method, foundation depth, and the building site. The foundations of heated buildings are protected for 1-1.5 meters from the wall line. In corner areas, double the insulation thickness compared to the wall line and a 0.5-meter wider protection are used.

  

Frost Insulation for Yard Areas and Pavements

It is wise to properly insulate yard areas, terraces, and patios during the construction phase to avoid cumbersome repairs later. Driveways usually lack the protective effect of snow, so preventing frost heaving is especially important.
