The company INDEX, since the beginning of its activity, in 1978, is based on Research, Innovation and Training, characteristics that will lead it to quickly become one of the most important companies in the world of the production of advanced waterproofing materials applied to buildings. The company, distributed in all Italian regions and abroad, with 100 distributions in the main countries of the five continents, produces multiple systems and advanced materials for the construction market.

Research and Innovation
The INDEX company is constantly looking for innovative systems and products, in their own laboratories and collaborating with University and Control Institutes, both Italian and foreign, in order to provide quality and durability products. The products are continuously perfected in the Research and Development Center, thanks to the work of expert technicians and the use of sophisticated and patented tools.

Training and Auditorium
For the INDEX company, the importance of training human resources is always greater, to be formed in order to achieve maximum performance, maximum professionalism and adaptation to the world of the market. To serve the training courses an auditorium was designed, with a modern structure, capable of accommodating up to 250 people, for innovation and continuous improvement of the company.

Green Roofs
In favor of the reduction of urban heat islands, the company Index offers green area solutions, including roofs, with benefits known to all. Given that urban space is scarce, the transformation of existing roofs is proposed. FEATURES The company proposes the transformation of roofs into "intensive green roofs", or roof gardens, or "extensive green roofs". While the first provides a higher weight and a soil thickness of at least 30 cm, while guaranteeing the cultivation of bushes and belongings of a certain size, the second requires 5-12 cm, with the possibility of cultivating small plants, with a reduced maintenance compared to the first case. The green roof allows energy savings of up to 25%, without considering that the thermal resistance of the green roof is greater, being able to use it both in winter and in summer. The green cover temporarily absorbs rainwater and releases it slowly, avoiding flooding. To ensure watertightness, it is necessary to use a waterproofing membrane, Defend Antiradice Poliester, resistant to roots, applied as the last counter-layer in garden waterproofing. Furthermore the green roof filters urban pollution, favors animal settlements and reduces the transmission of noise inside the building.

Thermal and acoustic insulation
Company Index offers thermal insulation in rolls, panels coupled to waterproofing membranes and acoustic insulators, for roofs, ceilings, walls or floors. In Italy, despite the favorable climate, the overall energy requirement, especially thermal, is quite high. In favor of living comfort, energy obtained from fossil fuels is consumed, polluting the environment. In energy savings and in the reduction of thermal dispersion, it is important to increase the thermal insulation which decreases the thermal transmittance of the buildings and which lasts over time. FEATURES The Index company has been involved in the production of thermal insulators since 1980. The range of insulators is constantly expanding, and they are capable of thermally isolating building works based on their use, roofing, considering all the characteristics of the building, from the foundations to the roof. The company is not limited to the production of high quality insulating materials, but also of its durability over time, suggesting the best protection, maintenance and repairability systems. Next to thermal insulators, Index offers acoustic insulators, which contribute to an improvement in acoustic comfort. The sound insulation is designed together with the thermal insulation and, in addition to repairing noise from outside the building, it is important that each apartment is well insulated from its neighbor. The company, after having conceived FONOSTOPDuo, the soundproofing for floor sound noise, to isolate from one floor to another, has expanded the range also involving walls, roofs and ceilings.

Cool Roofs
In favor of reducing urban heat islands, the Index company contributes to the installation of Cool Roofs on buildings. Currently, 90% of dark-colored roofs, under solar irradiation, reach up to 80 ° C, with negative effects on the environment and on the durability of buildings' waterproofing membranes. FEATURES The company, thanks to the use of specific white paints, reduces the roof temperature up to 40 ° C, at the same time reducing the transmission of summer heat inside the building. The Reflex White finishing membrane, slate membrane for cold roofs, but even more so the White Reflex painting, painting with white pigments, determines a lower heat absorption. The Reflex White Membrane is a treatment that is based on the use of white mineral self-protection, with high saturation and brightness, which allows the creation of roofs with high solar reflectance and very high thermal emissivity. The mantle has both a good diurnal reflection and a high nocturnal emission, bringing both benefits on energy consumption, for air conditioning of the building, and on the problem of urban overheating. White Reflex water-based paint has the same benefits, applied to the waterproof membranes of the roofing, reducing its temperature during the day and speeding up its cooling during the night, reducing the transmission of heat in the living areas below. The paint, thanks to a special white pigment, reduces the temperature more than the self-protected membranes with metal and is even more effective than the Reflex White membrane. The range of White Reflex paints is composed of White Reflex Ultra, white water-based paint with a reflection index greater than 110, and White Reflex SV, a solvent version with the same characteristics as classical painting. Furthermore, the paints considerably prolong the life of waterproofing membranes, reducing the maintenance costs of the roof, and it is possible to paint afterwards on bituminous surfaces even of old mantles, without the use of special membranes. Significant energy savings have been recorded, as well as the improvement of internal summer comfort.

Waterproofing
The Index company, aware of the difficulties currently encountered due to the wear of waterproofing membranes, and the consequent infiltration of water, especially in modern structures subjected to continuous lightening and exaggerated in its movements, proposes continuously improving bituminous membranes, guarantors of a perfect waterproofing. Bituminous membranes, together with the appropriate application techniques, allow an increasingly perfect waterproofing of flat roofs, resisting atmospheric agents and long life. FEATURES The numerous Index materials are produced with modern and technologically advanced systems, whose quality comes from research, experimentation and strict controls, in which various environmental conditions are simulated and problems concerning water and humidity for the waterproofing of flat or inclined roofs of various types of buildings. Bituminous membranes with waterproofing function, thanks to their high breaking loads and elongation characteristics, guarantee waterproofing for every building structure. Lightweight waterproofing membranes, Lighterflex hpcp and Lighterflex hpcp helasto, are lighter membranes than standard products, with a weight reduction of rolls up to 40%, but with the same water-tight qualities over time. In this way more rolls can be transported and the movements by the operators are easier. The super-adhesive waterproofing membranes, based on the gluing system, are divided into: self-adhesive membrane, which is glued to pressure and room temperature, self-heat-adhesive membrane, which is self-sticking with the indirect heat of the flaming of a layer superimposed on the membrane, and thermoadhesive membrane , which is glued with light flaming on the lower face. Finally there are the waterproof and breathable sheets under the tile, for air and water tightness, applied on sloping roofs, under the tiles or tiles, which protect from water, wind, dust and snow. In the case of a hot roof it is important that the waterproof under-tile sheet is breathable so as to avoid winter accumulation and condensation of water vapor from inside the building
