Vorteile

Warum PUR Insulation & Spray Foam?

Seamless insulation

No joints, no thermal bridges – the PUR foam creates a fully closed insulation layer in one work step.

Highest energy efficiency

WLG 023–028 (closed-cell) means the lowest thermal conductivity at minimal thickness – meets KfW-55 / 40 standards.

Air-tightness

Air-tight layer per DIN 4108-7 in one step – without additional foils or tapes.

Moisture protection

Closed-cell PUR is vapour-tight and rot-proof – ideal for cold roofs, basements and damp areas.

Fast application

100 m² roof in 1 day – sprayed, cured, ready. No drying or curing times.

Ideal for roof, halls & industry

Adheres to steel, concrete, wood, masonry – ideal for trapezoidal sheet roofs and complex geometries.

Cost comparison

PUR foam vs. mineral wool

For a roof or attic area of 100 m² in Germany, the typical cost difference between PUR foam and mineral wool – incl. material and installation – looks roughly like this.

Material €/m² 100 m²
PUR open-cell (attic) 35–60 €/m² 3,500–6,000 €
PUR closed-cell 60–100 €/m² 6,000–10,000 €
Mineral wool (standard) 25–50 €/m² 2,500–5,000 €

PUR advantages

  • No thermal bridges
  • Air-tightness
  • Faster installation
  • Better values at lower thickness
  • Does not settle
  • Ideal for complex roof geometries

PUR disadvantages

  • ! Higher initial investment
  • ! Requires professional team and equipment

Mineral wool advantages

  • Lower material costs
  • Good acoustics
  • Easily available

Mineral wool disadvantages

  • Possibility of settling
  • Thermal bridges with poor installation
  • More difficult air-tightness
  • Absorbs moisture
  • Longer installation

Insulation performance comparison

For example:

  • 20 cm PUR open-cell ≈ 25–30 cm mineral wool
  • 10 cm PUR closed-cell ≈ approx. 18–20 cm mineral wool

What is more often chosen in Germany today?

For new roofs and premium renovations, increasingly:

  • Spray Polyurethane Foam Insulation + vapour barriers / membranes
  • For complicated roof structures
  • For old roofs
  • For used attic spaces
  • For moisture problems

Mineral wool still dominates for:

  • lower-budget investments
  • DIY systems
  • cost-driven developer construction

At current energy prices in Germany, professionally executed Spray Polyurethane Foam often pays back its higher upfront cost faster thanks to air-tightness and lower heat losses.

For the same energetic effect, PUR foam needs only 25 mm — 5.6× less than wood and almost half the thickness of mineral wool.

German Standards & Regulations

German Standards & PUR Regulations

Spray-applied PUR/PIR foam (Spritzschaum) and polyurea coatings in Germany are governed by one of the strictest normative frameworks in Europe. The full stack — from material standards through energy law (GEG), fire classification, emissions, polyurea waterproofing and mandatory REACH applicator training — must be documented before any Bauleiter signs off.

Material standards

  • DIN EN 14315-1 Sprayed rigid polyurethane foam produced in-situ on the construction site — material properties, classification and performance requirements.
  • DIN EN 14315-2 Specification for the installed insulation product — in-situ application requirements, quality verification and applicator qualification.
  • DIN EN 13165 Factory-made PUR/PIR rigid foam thermal insulation products — specification and performance.

Energy & insulation requirements

  • GEG Gebäudeenergiegesetz — the German Buildings Energy Act setting binding minimum thermal performance and primary energy demand for new builds and refurbishments.
  • DIN 4108 Thermal insulation and energy economy in buildings — including Part 3 (moisture protection) and Part 7 (airtightness, Luftdichtheit).
  • DIBt abZ / aBG Allgemeine bauaufsichtliche Zulassung / allgemeine Bauartgenehmigung — German national fitness-for-use approval, required for many non-standardised PUR systems.

Fire protection

  • DIN EN 13501-1 European fire classification (Euroclasses A1–F with s1–s3 / d0–d2). For PUR spray foam typically B-s2,d0 or B-s1,d0 in tested system assemblies.
  • DIN 4102 Legacy German fire classification (B1 schwerentflammbar / flame-retardant, B2 normalentflammbar / normally flammable) still widely referenced in German specifications.
  • MBO / LBO Musterbauordnung and federal-state building regulations define minimum fire class per building class and component type.

Emissions, health & indoor air

  • AgBB Bewertung Health-related evaluation scheme of the Ausschuss zur gesundheitlichen Bewertung von Bauprodukten — required for DIBt-approved products used indoors. VOC and SVOC emissions measured at 3 and 28 days.
  • Blauer Engel / eco-INSTITUT Independent environmental and pollutant certifications (Blauer Engel, eco-INSTITUT, natureplus) — the relevant emission and pollutant labels for PUR spray foam in the premium segment.
  • TÜV certificates Independent third-party testing and certification of material safety, durability and declared performance — a strong commercial argument for architects and planners.
  • DIBt abZ / aBG National fitness-for-use approval — confirms the product is regulatorily fit for use in German construction and is the entry condition for AgBB indoor assessment.

Polyurea waterproofing & corrosion protection

  • DIN 18531 Waterproofing of roofs — both non-utilised and utilised roof areas. Reference standard for liquid-applied polyurea on roofs.
  • DIN 18533 Waterproofing of building elements in contact with the ground — basements, foundations, plinths. Defines water exposure classes W1.1-E to W4-E.
  • DIN 18534 Waterproofing of indoor wet rooms — bathrooms, showers, commercial kitchens. Water exposure classes W0-I to W3-I.
  • DIN EN 1504 Products and systems for the protection and repair of concrete structures. Polyurea coatings are classified as surface protection systems (OS systems).
  • DIN EN ISO 12944 Corrosion protection of steel structures by protective paint/coating systems. Corrosivity categories C1–CX and durability ranges (e.g. VH ≥ 25 years).
  • DIN EN ISO 4624 Pull-off test for adhesion of coatings — mandatory acceptance test for polyurea coatings on concrete and steel.
  • DIN EN ISO 2808 Determination of dry-film thickness — the basis for the thickness protocol required across the entire coated surface.

Contractor requirements (mandatory in DE since 2023)

  • REACH-Verordnung EU REACH regulation — mandatory diisocyanate training since 24.08.2023 for operators working with products containing > 0.1% monomeric diisocyanates. No valid training certificate, no PUR spraying.
  • Applicator certificate Manufacturer system-training combined with the DIN EN 14315-2 competence proof. Prerequisite for sites under DIBt abZ / aBG approval.
  • TRGS 430 / PPE A2P3 Risk assessment per TRGS 430, ambient-air-independent respirator (fed-air system / compressed-air hose) or A2P3 half-mask, chemical protective suit, goggles and gloves — during spraying and reaction time.
  • Ventilation & documentation Ventilation measurement and protocols, indoor re-entry waiting periods after spraying, complete technical documentation incl. SDS, TDS and batch traceability.

What German Bauleiter & Sachverständige actually check — the 10 mandatory items

Every experienced Bauleiter and certified surveyor (Sachverständiger) runs a fixed checklist on-site. Missing any of these items can trigger acceptance refusal, warranty exclusion or building-authority complaints.

  1. 01 CE marking and ETA (European Technical Assessment) of the foam system — without these documents the material cannot legally be installed.
  2. 02 DIBt abZ / aBG (general building authority approval or Bauartgenehmigung) for the in-situ foam system used in Germany.
  3. 03 Lambda value (thermal conductivity λ) of the foam — proof per DIN EN 14315-1, the design value for GEG compliance.
  4. 04 Fire class per DIN EN 13501-1 (e.g. B-s1,d0 / B-s2,d0) and/or per DIN 4102 (B1), depending on component and use.
  5. 05 Sd value (water vapour diffusion-equivalent air layer thickness) — condensation and moisture protection proof per DIN 4108-3 (Glaser method or hygrothermal simulation).
  6. 06 Complete execution documentation: spray protocol, substrate preparation, climate/temperature values, material batches.
  7. 07 Thickness protocol with measurement points across the entire surface — minimum and mean against the energy target.
  8. 08 Applicator training certificate per REACH (diisocyanate training) and manufacturer system-training.
  9. 09 Public and professional liability insurance of the contractor with proof of cover amount and validity.
  10. 10 Technical data sheet (TDS) and safety data sheet (SDS) per REACH Art. 31 — to be presented on site.

Premium

What gives an edge in the German premium segment

In the German premium segment, price is rarely the deciding factor — documentation, traceability and certified quality are. The following elements separate a standard contractor from a system partner trusted on demanding projects.

  • Certified applicators with manufacturer system-training, REACH diisocyanate training and documented project references in residential and industrial construction.
  • Complete DIN/GEG documentation: lambda design value, U-value proof, condensation and airtightness analysis per DIN 4108, with GEG-compliant handover.
  • Thermographic measurements before and after — objective proof of insulation performance, detection of thermal bridges and leakage.
  • Execution and thickness protocols (DIN EN ISO 2808) with measurement grid, photo documentation and batch traceability — audit-ready archived.
  • System warranty in cooperation with the foam manufacturer — extended guarantees on material and workmanship within tested system assemblies.
  • Close cooperation with manufacturers and independent test institutes (TÜV, DIBt, eco-INSTITUT, Blauer Engel) — fast clarification on special cases and project-specific approvals.

Top-tier systems on the German market combine ETA, DIBt-Zulassung / aBG, Blauer Engel or eco-INSTITUT certification, TÜV testing and full QNG/GEG compatibility. This combination is what separates a code-compliant site from a legally watertight, energetically demonstrable and sustainably documented premium refurbishment.
