URSA is engaged in the production of fiberglass thermal insulation and extruded polystyrene foam. Used in the construction of private houses and as technical insulation. A wide range allows you to choose a heater for any purpose - both for indoor use and outdoors in conditions of high humidity.

Overview of the product range and description of their characteristics

The following heaters are produced:

• Terra;
• pureone.

Regardless of the series of material, it must be protected from exposure to atmospheric precipitation.

This fiberglass mineral wool is produced according to strict rules and regulations. Only high-quality and environmentally friendly raw materials are used natural ingredients, refers to materials for "green building". It is environmentally friendly for both people and environment. Insulation helps to improve the microclimate in the house, reduces heating costs and does not form dust.

Rolls and slabs have a light weight, but at the same time an excellent coefficient of thermal conductivity - 0.034-0.046 W / m K, due to the unique and durable structure of long fibers and a large number of air gaps between them. Available in thicknesses of 60, 70, 80, 150, 200, 100 mm and 50 mm, as well as 20 and 25 mm. Width - 60 and 120 cm, length - from 1.25 to 12.5 m.

Application area:

• pitched roof ( URSA Geo pitched roof);
• partitions (universal, M15);
• facade (P30, Geo Facade);
• floor (Light, Private house);
• walls (universal);
• ceiling (M11, P15);
• balconies (Mini, M11F);
• bath and sauna (M11F, M25F).

The letter F in the marking means that one side is foil.

Rolls and slabs of URSA Geo are not only excellent heat and sound insulation. Sound absorption class - A and B, that is, the highest. Compared to other similar fiberglass insulation, URSA retains noise better. For production, environmentally friendly raw materials are used, as a result, the evaporation of volatile compounds is 15 times lower than the norm. Therefore, it is absolutely safe for humans and the environment.

Rolls and slabs are non-combustible, as quartz sand is used for their manufacture. Also, thanks to him, the fibers are stronger and more durable, due to which the service life can be more than 50 years, provided correct installation. At the same time, mineral wool will not lose its thermal insulation and physical qualities. It is not a habitat for fungi, mold, insects and rodents.

Another important advantage is the ability to take the shape of any surface, since the fibers are flexible. Plates and rolls always fit snugly and without gaps. It is convenient to cut them, and it is not necessary to observe even cutting, since they are mounted by surprise. As a result, they themselves are kept in the frame, without any other fixing elements. URSA Geo is easy to transport as it is lightweight and does not break.

The heater of this series is intended for construction of private houses. Terra has the best heat-saving characteristics compared to other URSA series. It has increased elasticity, and is also resistant to moisture and non-flammable. To differ from previous series, it has a different color. Produced from environmentally friendly raw materials. Available in small packs to make it easier for users to calculate the quantity the right material and easier to transport. Used for pitched roofs, partitions, exterior walls and as industrial insulation.

Produced in lengths of 100 and 125 cm, width 60 cm and thickness 50 mm and 100 mm, in one package - from 10 to 24 pieces. A technical mat of this series is also produced. It is used to insulate pipes and equipment. Its thickness is 50 mm and 100 mm, width is 60 cm, and length is 9.6 m and 4.8 m. URSA Terra series has a good thermal conductivity coefficient of 0.034-0.039 W/m K. Like Geo, it is an excellent soundproofing. The plates of this insulation have increased rigidity, but at the same time they are flexible. As a result, the building material fits snugly into the frame and adheres to the surface, leaving no gaps and eliminating the likelihood of cold bridges.

Terra is non-flammable because its fibers are recycled quartz sand. So that the plates are not soaked with water, they are treated with a water-repellent composition. Moisture, falling on their surface, simply rolls off them, and is not absorbed. Even after treatment with URSA Terra, it is still environmentally friendly. safe material for both humans and the environment. Insects, rodents do not live in the insulation of the URSA Terra series, and mold or fungi do not grow.

3. URSA Pureone.

Like the previous series of URSA thermal insulations, Pureone is an environmentally friendly material and does not support combustion. But, unlike them, it practically does not emit prickly dust. The softness resembles wool, has no smell. pureone white color, almost white. This color is obtained by sand, without any dyes.

All resources for this insulation undergo strict quality control. During production, components such as formaldehyde and phenol, as well as secondary raw materials, are not used. Acrylic is used as a binder, as it is the most environmentally friendly and safe for the environment and humans. Does not highlight hazardous substances when interacting with oxygen or water.

URSA Pureone received the highest rating safety, making it suitable for medical institutions, schools and kindergartens. It has a high sound absorption class - A and B. Compared to other similar materials, Pureone rolls and boards contain noise by 2 dB more. To all this, Pureone thermal insulation has increased elasticity, it is convenient to mount it and it sits tightly. Thermal conductivity coefficient - 0.037-0.043 W / m K. Rolls and plates are produced with a thickness of 50 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm and 180 mm, a length of 1.25 to 10 m and a width of 0.6 and 1.2 m.

It is used for warming the following places:

• pitched roofs;
• floors;
• partitions;
• ceilings;
• overlaps;
• exterior walls.

This is extruded polystyrene foam with a low thermal conductivity coefficient - 0.032-0.033 W / m K, due to which it is considered one of the best. It is used in places with increased load, humidity, and it can also come into contact with the ground and groundwater. Excellent heat-saving qualities are provided due to the many closed cells, and that is why it does not absorb moisture. The dense arrangement of pores makes the insulation durable and tough. XPS withstands up to 50 tons per 1 m2. It is allowed to mount it directly on a sand cushion, without the risk of deformation.

XPS is absolutely safe material. For its production is used carbon dioxide so that no damage is done to the environment. URSA XPS withstands over 500 thaw and freeze cycles. XPS even in harsh conditions has a long service life - more than 40 years. It does not support mold and fungus growth. Flammability class - G3 and G4. To prevent the insulation from supporting the spread of fire, flame retardants are added to it. Installation can be carried out without additional fasteners, since the plates are light and securely held only on the adhesive mixture.

Extruded polystyrene foam is used for the following structures:

• foundations;
• basement;
• exterior walls;
• balconies;
• floors;
• overlaps;
• ceilings;
• flat and pitched roofs.

Available in thicknesses from 30 to 120 mm. The length of the plates for all versions of the insulation is the same - 1250 mm, as well as the width - 60 cm.

Feedback on URSA products

“I have always been concerned about the environmental friendliness of the material. I did not want to install thermal insulation with phenol-formaldehyde resin. After reading the reviews of professional builders, I decided to buy Pureone, especially since it is not only safe, but also has excellent specifications. He insulated the walls frame house. The plates are white, easy and tight to install. It turned out that Pureone not only perfectly retains heat in the room, but also does not let in noise from the street. I don’t remember what the prices were for it, but no more than 1,000 rubles per pack.”

Alexander Galkin, Krasnoyarsk.

“For the floor and roof of the house, they always purchased the URSA series in rolls, but it is not suitable for installation outside. As a result, we decided to buy extruded polystyrene foam 100 mm thick, especially since, judging by user reviews, it also has excellent quality. They insulated the foundation with them, since in winter it could sometimes freeze. The L-shaped edge helped to securely fasten all the plates, without gaps. The cost is about 1,700 rubles per package, there are 4 pieces in it, which cover 3 m2.

Vasily, Novosibirsk.

“We decided to insulate the facade of the house, but doubted the choice. On the advice of friends and feedback from builders, they chose Geo Facade, and for good reason, since it has excellent insulating characteristics and no wind protection is required. Its surface is covered with fiberglass, and it protects the material from blowing. The winter passed, the house was always warm, there were no drafts.

Maria, St. Petersburg.

“I always buy thermal insulation only from this company, including steam and waterproofing films. Since their quality has already been tested by time and experience. When I receive another order, I immediately recommend URSU to my clients, especially Pureone. This series has an international safety certificate, and this already says a lot.”

Pavel, Yekaterinburg.

“I bought a private house in rolls for URSA Geo floor insulation. Material excellent quality very little dust. One package is able to cover 20 m2, in the end I bought only 3 pieces. The price was a little over 1000 rubles per pack. Now you can walk on the floor comfortably, and you use a little less fuel for heating.”

URSA GEO is a fiberglass-based mineral insulation manufactured to meet stringent environmental requirements - from the production and composition of raw materials to finished products. URSA GEO is the evolution of thermal and sound insulation for green building.

When creating URSA GEO materials, GEO eco-technology is used, which is based on the use of natural ingredients and an improved recipe. URSA GEO material is safe for human health and the environment, provides clean air and a healthy microclimate in the house.

Due to the structure of the material and the characteristics of the fibers, URSA GEO products have a number of outstanding properties - high thermal insulation with low weight, effective soundproofing in designs and excellent sound absorption. Is it about pitched roof, external walls or partitions – URSA GEO fiberglass mineral insulation is suitable for solving any problem in the field of thermal and sound insulation in modern construction.

Why URSA GEO?

More than just a heater. Thermal insulation URSA GEO is a kind of shield that prevents heat from escaping from the house to the outside through the walls, roof or floor and helps to save on heating the house. Thanks to the combination of long elastic fibers and a large number URSA GEO material reliably retains heat and protects the house from freezing, increasing its durability.

When choosing a material for home insulation, you need to focus on its main characteristic - thermal conductivity (indicated on the package with the icon "λ", lambda). How less valueλ, the better material protects from the cold.

Reliable soundproofing. URSA GEO materials serve as a reliable soundproof barrier and have best classes sound absorption: A and B. This fact is confirmed by scientific tests and many years of practice. Insulating materials based on fiberglass perfectly absorb sound, so today it is fiberglass that is the most popular material in the world for soundproofing partitions.

Eco technology GEO. URSA GEO materials are produced using eco-technology and take into account more stringent environmental requirements - from the production and composition of raw materials to finished products. In URSA GEO materials, there is practically no emission of volatile compounds - it is 10-15 times lower than the standards existing in Europe and Russia. Thanks to GEO eco-technology, URSA GEO material is safe for human health and the environment, provides clean air and a healthy microclimate in the house.

Fire resistance. The main raw material for thermal insulation of URSA GEO is quartz sand, thanks to which the material is not only natural in origin, but also non-combustible, preventing the spread of fire.

Durability. Mineral fiber based on quartz sand is not subject to aging and does not change its mechanical and strength properties during operation. The service life of thermal insulation is at least 50 years.

Biostability. Mineral insulation is inorganic in nature, does not rot and does not contain nutrients for the life of insects, rodents and microorganisms.

Ease of installation. URSA GEO materials take the form of surfaces of any curvature. Due to their flexibility and elasticity, URSA GEO mats and boards adhere closely to the insulated surface and are joined together without leaving any gaps. Due to the high elasticity, the materials do not require high-precision cutting and sizing, they are mounted in the frame by surprise and held in the structure without additional fixation. In addition, URSA GEO materials are easy to carry; they do not break or crumble during site operations.

These simple rules will help to carry out high-quality work on the insulation and soundproofing of premises and will help to avoid many mistakes when working with URSA GEO materials.

Shipping

When transporting URSA GEO, protect the material from rain, snow and possible damage. When loading into a vehicle or van, do not squeeze material packages. Also, do not over-tighten the material with lashing ropes and other transport devices. This is due to the fact that the material in the package is already in a compressed state, and additional compression can lead to a deterioration in the recoverability of its thickness. Stack packages with boards horizontally in the car body. When carrying media in a roll or bundle, do not handle the media by the open edge of the packaging at the end. This may cause premature damage to the package.

Storage

During storage, protect URSA GEO from atmospheric precipitation. Store the material in packaged form in covered, dry rooms or under a canopy. When storing outdoors under a canopy, do not lay the packages on the ground, but place them on pallets. Stack packages with plates in a horizontal position, install rolls vertically (up to 3 tiers inclusive).

Unpacking

Remove material from packaging immediately before use on site. This will greatly reduce the risk of damage to the material. The packaging can be used to protect the material from contamination when laid out on the construction site or as bags for collecting construction debris.
