 How to Choose the Right Heat-Insulating Materials for Your Project

1. Walls: Use Thermal Insulated Concrete Blocks

2. Roofs: Use Thermal Boards During or After Construction

• Common Options: Polystyrene sheets (Styrofoam) or polyurethane panels (PU)

• Installed before concrete pouring or added on top of the roof after construction

• Recommended thickness: 3–5 cm for effective performance

 Great solution for rooftops exposed to direct sunlight
