Rubber applications in construction

Rubber plays an important role in construction, thanks to properties such as elasticity, durability and water resistance. Due to its versatility, rubber contributes to better performance and durability of modern building structures.

Important applications of rubber in construction

1. Seals and finishes

Rubber provides effective seals around windows, doors and other structures. This prevents water and air infiltration, which improves the energy efficiency of buildings. In addition to the sealing effect, the products can also be fire-resistant, which ensures a longer time before fire can spread from one room to another.

2. Floors

Rubber floors provide shock absorbing properties and slip resistance, making them ideal for commercial buildings, gyms and playgrounds.

3. Isolation

Thermal and sound insulation in walls and roofs benefits from rubber, which helps to save energy and reduce noise pollution.

4. Vibration damping or shock absorption

Suspension systems and foundations often contain rubber to reduce vibrations and limit noise pollution, creating a more comfortable indoor climate.

5. Waterproofing

Rubber membranes form an effective waterproof layer in roofs and foundations, preventing damage from water infiltration.

6. Auxiliary materials

Construction applications such as substructures and drainage systems use rubber profiles and mats because of their reliability and durability.

7. Facade cladding

Weather resistant and low-maintenance rubber materials contribute to aesthetic and functional facade cladding in buildings.

Why rubber is essential in this sector

Rubber offers a combination of durability, flexibility and water resistance that is essential for demanding construction applications. It helps to improve building performance, increase energy efficiency and reduce maintenance costs. Due to its wide applicability, rubber is a valuable material in both traditional and modern construction projects.
