Building physics solutions can make a positive impact on the overall life cycle of a building

Smart building physics solutions for high-performance structures

"We help you design a structure that remains functional, secure, and healthy over time. Along with overlooking the technical performance of structures, our solutions also ensure aesthetic performance, ensuring the building does not experience any visible damage or rust spots.

If you look at the big picture view, our building physics solutions can make a positive impact on the overall life cycle of a building."

Jyrki Kesti, Head of Sustainability Development, Building Envelopes

Your key benefits

Building physics is a field of engineering that deals with the energy performance of buildings and their indoor and outdoor environments including the thermal and moisture performance of structures. We help you plan, design, and construct buildings that are functional, healthy, and energy-efficient.

This means that our solutions and structural details

ensure optimal thermal and moisture performance of your buildings
help secure the building’s overall functionality, safety, and health
protect the aesthetics of a building by preventing visible damages
improve the overall energy efficiency of your buildings
make a direct positive impact on the life cycle of your building

For example, our Ruukki Airtightness Package plays a crucial role in maintaining the energy efficiency of the building — it reduces heat loss and ensures damp proofing by preventing moisture from entering the structure and causing damage.

Choosing the right materials and products can also make a difference in the building’s thermal insulation and airtightness, leading to improved energy efficiency. For instance, we offer specialized solutions for cold storage and food industry facilities where there needs to be an efficient insulating system and sealing solutions that bring energy cost savings – not forgetting hygro-thermal and moisture safe performance.

Ruukki® Airtight Package

With Ruukki Airtight Package you can save up to 30% of building energy consumption for heating or cooling with airtightness better than the reference level. It is also a particularly effective way to reduce building's carbon footprint, because investing in airtightness does not increase the carbon footprint of product manufacturing, unlike, for example, increasing the amount of insulation.

Ruukki® Rain Protect

Ruukki Rain Protect is the solution for rain protection of sandwich panels during the installation phase. It is pre-installed at manufacturing site and it secures that the sandwich panels stay dry all the way from manufacturing site to installation phase.

Research-based solutions for the best results

We are committed to conducting constant research and testing in the field of building physics to ensure that our building solutions are the best in the business. We carry out long-term testing to see how our solutions perform over time, and we have partnered up with European research projects in the field of building physics. We also collaborate closely with the Tampere University, HAMK University of Applied Science and Tallinn University of Technology in innovative research and testing work in the area of building physics.

So, no matter what is your building’s purpose, we at Ruukki carefully select the materials based on the requirements and conditions. You can rely on our expertise to find the best solutions for you.
