The floor structure of industrial halls, ice rinks, and sports fields must withstand extremely diverse loads, and this requires extremely resistant thermal insulation. The thermal insulation of structures in contact…
Designing green roofs with an inverted layering system
The high-thickness RAVATHERM XPS extruded polystyrene foam thermal insulation is suitable for installation in green roofs or even mixed-use inverted flat roofs. When designing buildings, it is becoming increasingly…
Design of parking roofs in reverse layer order
Nowadays, it is not uncommon to find structural solutions where vehicles can drive over the heated space. In this case, a special structural layering and high-performance materials are required. The…
Professional thermal insulation of building foundations – continued
Our previous application technology article discussed the professional thermal insulation of building plinths. This article explains what additional factors we need to pay attention to when insulating plinths in the…
Professional thermal insulation of building socle
RAVATHERM XPS 300 WB is a closed-cell, roughened, plaster-based, closed-cell polystyrene foam thermal insulation material. Its typical application is in those parts of buildings where, in addition to effective thermal…
Proper use of XPS thermal insulation on facades
The building cannot be overinsulated, there is almost no upper limit to the thickness of the thermal insulation, except, of course, within the limits of reasonableness. How thick should the…
Thermal insulation of building plinth with RAVATHERM XPS
A building must be designed and constructed according to today’s requirements in such a way that the heated spaces are surrounded by structures with the same thermal performance from all…
Construction of industrial floors
The Industrial Floor Design and Construction Rules, a technical construction guideline, has been published. The standard fills a rather gap, as no uniform construction standard has been prepared for this…
Solar panels – RAVATHERM SW – clean energy
Due to a recent product development, it became possible to produce RAVATHERM Stonewool that is not only completely fire-resistant but also step-proof. Therefore, thanks to its high compressive-strength, a solar…
