Building Envelope Insulation in Quebec
The building envelope encompasses all elements that separate the interior from the exterior of a structure. It plays an essential role in thermal regulation, acoustic insulation and water infiltration management. These functions significantly contribute to the durability, energy efficiency and overall comfort of a building.
HIZO offers innovative solutions to strengthen your building envelope integrity, improving energy efficiency, indoor comfort and durability for commercial, institutional and multi-residential buildings in Quebec.
Building Envelope Insulation Systems
We offer a complete range of products and techniques to ensure the airtightness and thermal insulation of your commercial buildings.
Urethane
Urethane can be used as the sole insulator in a construction structure, or can be integrated into a hybrid assembly with other types of insulation. Urethane is versatile, serving as both air barrier and vapor barrier.
This product stands out from other insulation materials because it is manufactured on-site by combining two components: resin and polymer isocyanate. This chemical reaction creates an expansive foam that adheres to all surfaces and fills all gaps.
- Superior thermal insulation
- Integrated air and vapor barrier
- Application on all surfaces
- Hybrid solution possible
Self-Adhesive Membrane
A self-adhesive air and vapor barrier membrane, made from modified bitumen with SBS polymers and a trilaminate polyethylene fabric, is designed for wall applications.
This polyethylene fabric is compatible with spray polyurethane foam insulation. Its adhesive face is protected by a removable silicone paper or film.
- Intramural membrane
- Masonry flashing
- Transition membrane
- Waterproofing at openings
Liquid Membrane
The liquid membrane, a monolithic solution often composed of water and synthetic rubber, serves as an air and vapor barrier. This versatile product is suitable for a variety of surfaces used in construction.
- Compatible with masonry and concrete
- Application on wood and gypsum
- Continuous monolithic barrier
- No joints or connections
Torch-Applied Membrane
The torch-applied membrane, composed of modified bitumen with SBS polymers and a non-woven polyester reinforcement, is thermally welded to create a durable waterproof barrier against water and moisture.
- Superior waterproofing
- Exceptional durability
- Weather resistance
- Professional application
Semi-Rigid Panels
Semi-rigid rock wool panels, available in single and double density, are ideal for exterior cavity walls and rain screens. They are characterized by their non-combustibility, generating no toxic smoke nor promoting flame spread.
Compliant with NFPA 285, they are essential in fire-resistant exterior wall systems as continuous insulation. These panels ensure superior energy efficiency with consistent thermal performance and better acoustic comfort.
- Non-combustible - NFPA 285 compliant
- Moisture resistant
- Consistent thermal performance
- Superior acoustic comfort
