Energy Refurbishment with GUTEX Insulation Boards Fit for the Future!

Save Money and Preserve the Environment with Insulation In Germany, 70 % of all building stock could be considered old. Most of it is not up to par with today‘s energy-efficiency standards. Approximately 80 % of the energy costs incurred by homeowners and building operators are attributable to heating.With proper refurbishment measures, 66 % of these expenses can be saved. Insulation of the building envelope produces the majority of these savings. With quality materials and know-how, an ideally functioning thermal envelope can be installed that significantly reduces the loss of expensive warmth...

Here is an actual project that demonstrates the enormous potential for cost savings and reduction in carbon dioxide emissions.
