Insulation under the concrete slab and foundation

Up to 15% of a building’s energy losses occur through the foundation and concrete slab. Increase the energy efficiency of your house and eliminate heat loss with THERMOTOP PIR boards.

 

THERMOTOP PIR boards stand out due to:

Very low conductivity coefficient (λ=0,021 W/mk)Very low conductivity coefficient (λ=0,021 W/mk)
High dimensional stability (does not settle, does not contract, and maintains its thermal properties long-term)High dimensional stability (does not settle, does not contract, and maintains its thermal properties long-term)
High compressive strength, between ≤ 130 kPa and ≥ 170kPaHigh compressive strength, between ≤ 130 kPa and ≥ 170kPa
