Thermal loss through non-insulated floors to the soil or unheated rooms can be responsible for a significant heat loss. Besides reducing the heat loss, proper insulation of floors helps to significantly increase the overall comfort. Additionally, it more effectively utilises the thermal storage capacity of the floor.
Floor insulation materials are often subject to increased long-term static and dynamic loads. High compressive strength and minimum deformation are basic requirements. STYROFOAM™ insulation products have been successfully used for more than 30 years even under extreme stresses like thermal insulation of cold-stores, airfield hangar floors and parking decks, or as frost heave protection of railway substructures. The choice of STYROFOAM solutions for insulation of floor structures offers several advantages:
- high load-bearing capacity due to high compressive strength and E-modulus,
- low compression,
- reduction of thickness of load-distributing layer (screed),
- long-term high insulation value,
- simple floor build-up,
- easy and fast installation,
- safe floor structure long-term
