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.

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.
