Pavaroof F

Pavaroof F is a thermal insulation system for flat roofs that combines cork and wood, ensuring the transition to low-carbon buildings. Having been successfully launched in France, this system is being extensively tested in the UK and will be demonstrated at the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow at the end of 2021. We are currently looking into the system’s suitability for different projects, taking the many different parameters into account.

Pavatex Wood Fibre Insulation

The range of Pavatex natural wood fibre products are made from waste wood from a sustainable source and have excellent acoustic and thermal insulation properties, as well as superior breathability and overheating control. Pavatex consists of both new build and retrofit systems for walls, floors and roofs.

Sopraloop

In July 2019, Soprema Group introduced a unit in Strasbourg, France to produce raw materials from recycled trays made of PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate). Thanks to Sopraloop®, all post-consumer plastic packaging units (PET), such as single-layer and multi-layer trays or opaque bottles, get a second life. After mechanical and chemical recycling, this waste is converted into polyols and then used to manufacture PIR insulating foam.

SOPRA XPS Insulation

SOPRA XPS insulation is an industry-leading range of high-performance extruded polystyrene insulation boards, suitable for many demanding and varied insulation applications, including inverted and green roofs, zero fall roof designs (in conjunction with SOPREMA zero fall waterproofing systems), floors, walls and below-ground works.

Our XPS boards are 100% recyclable. The BREEAM independent certification ensures that specifiers can score BREEAM points as a result of specifying SOPRA XPS insulation. XPS is also approved by the Green Guide to Specification.
