KAPRY Municipal Indoor Swimming Pool Pruszków
Roof insulation
The use of cellular glass panels for the roof of the KAPRY Swimming Pool Hall in Pruszków was not accidental. It was intended to eliminate the possibility of condensation in the roof structure and the thermal insulation layer itself. The building underwent renovation after nearly 20 years of use, and a crucial factor in the decision to use FOAMGLAS® boards was their non-absorbability and full impermeability to moisture and water vapor. This provides a guarantee of consistent weight and thermal parameters of the roof as a partition for the entire period of future use of the building.
FOAMGLAS® SLABS T3+ panels with a lambda of 0.036 W/mK were laid in two layers of 130 mm + 100 mm, bonded to each other and the substrate with hot bitumen throughout.
The FOAMGLAS® Compact Roof utilized here protects the roof from leaks, moisture, and moisture migration in the horizontal direction. The absence of mechanical fasteners eliminates weak points, thermal bridges, and substrate pitting. Also important was the material's biological inertness, which prevents the development of biological molds and the nesting of insects or rodents.
In addition to fire safety (A1), load-bearing capacity was crucial in choosing the FOAMGLAS® cellular glass panel layer. With a sheer compressive strength of 500 kPa, this roof system has 0% deformation under load and use. This feature was particularly significant for the installation of photovoltaic panels on the roof and the load on the air handling units. This durable, unchanging, and safe solution was a conscious choice by both the architect and the investor.
