DURISOL
Durisol is a modern construction system that combines strength, sustainability and energy efficiency. Using insulated concrete formwork, hollow blocks are stacked and then filled with ready-mix concrete to create a solid structural core. This approach integrates insulation directly into the build, removing the need for additional layers and improving overall performance.
Compared with traditional masonry, this method delivers both structure and insulation in one process. As a result, construction is faster and more efficient, while the finished building benefits from improved thermal performance and reduced energy loss. This helps maintain comfortable internal temperatures throughout the year and can lower long-term running costs.
The blocks themselves differ from polystyrene-based alternatives in both composition and durability. Made from a wood-cement composite, they are robust, breathable and easier to handle on site. Their rigidity reduces the need for extensive bracing, which simplifies installation and keeps projects moving efficiently.
Another key benefit lies in thermal mass. The design allows heat to move more effectively from the concrete core into the building, helping to regulate internal temperatures. This creates a more stable indoor environment, keeping properties warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
In addition to performance benefits, the system also offers strong environmental credentials. The materials used are sustainable, while the finished structure provides excellent sound insulation, fire resistance and long-term durability. These qualities make it a reliable choice for both residential and commercial projects.
This type of construction is suitable for a wide range of applications, including home extensions, new builds, basements, housing developments and commercial properties. Whether the project is modest or large-scale, it offers a practical and future-proof alternative to traditional building methods.
