These applications proved very successfully in presenting what could be achieved in combating hot and cold using polyurethane and the huge potential it had to grow. Ecohousing Building Systems gained very valuable experience and understanding of polyurethane during the early years.
In 1987 this experience and understanding was drawn on to form a new type of revolutionary polyurethane building product and system. Complete presses for making fully insulated structural building system panels were engineered and patents were taken out.
Ecohousing Building systems was founded in 1978. Ecohousing building system first started using polyurethane for insulating buildings on mining sites; this steadily branched to projects that included both commercial and residential applications. Commercial applications ranged from insulting barns and stables for livestock proving a success in reducing livestock heat stress to insulating office blocks. Polyurethane also proved very successful in insulating in the residential sector.
