The floors of heated, temperate rooms must be insulated. This is true not only for residential or communal spaces, but also for industrial buildings. In special cases, such as cold…
How thick should the XPS insulation be?
The correct choice of insulation material and thickness is becoming increasingly important already in the design phase of the building. It can also affect the useful floor area and facade…
Why is the average thickness of thermal insulation increasing?
In the spirit of economy, sustainability of our buildings and, last but not least, environmental protection, the prescribed thermal engineering requirements are increasing year by year. In order to comply…
Application of thick XPS thermal insulation, construction rules II.
In the first part of our article series, we addressed the feasibility of high-thickness thermal insulation, and in this part we will show how to apply high-thickness closed-cell polystyrene foam…
Application of thick XPS thermal insulation, implementation rules III.
In order to meet the energy requirements valid from January 1, 2018, a minimum thermal insulation thickness of 12 cm is required for floors and building foundations, and a minimum…
Application of thick XPS thermal insulation, construction rules I.
As the thickness of the insulation increases, feasibility issues have arisen that were not apparent with previous sizes. The usual sizes are much larger than those used today and in…
Application of high-thickness XPS thermal insulation, implementation rules IV.
Do you need thermal insulation on the outside of the walls? Does the foundation of the building also need to be insulated? Do we really need more thermal insulation in…
