RESIDENTIAL FLOORS

In the floor slabs of the building environment, both in ground and above ground floors (over outdoor areas or non-air-conditioned indoor areas), there are considerable thermal losses that make the application of thermal insulation in these areas strongly necessary.

The ifoam ® Pavimentos (Floors) extruded polystyrene panels offer a high compressive strength, suitable for resisting the load demands on the floors, which combined with its zero capillarity and total imputrescibility make this material the ideal solution for thermal insulation in contact with the soil.

The high fatigue strength under constant loads and the resistance to permanent working temperatures of up to 65°C make ifoam ® Pavimentos (Floors) rigid extruded polystyrene foam panels suitable for application on floors heated by either electrical or hydraulic systems.

HEAVILY LOADED FLOORS

If a floor needs to be thermally insulated and is subject to high loads, then ifoam ® parking extruded polystyrene panels, with an outstanding compressive strength of 500 kPa in addition to the other products in the ifoam ® product range, are the ideal solution for thermal insulation in industrial floors, cold storage floors, and parking lots.

The excellent behavior against water and humidity, making ifoam ® parking sheets suitable for application on the waterproofing, even when this corresponds to the wet side of the systems, provides additional mechanical protection to the waterproofing membranes, both during work on site and to the dynamic stresses caused by rotating traffic during the life of the sidewalk, promoting greater efficiency and longevity of the system.
