ThermoFloor boards are rigid insulation boards. Their most common use is as an acoustic isolation layer in floor constructions (i.e below screed). ThermoFloor boards can be composted after their useful life.

Composition & Manufacture

Manufactured from renewable resources
Manufactured from by-products
No chemical additives

CO₂ zero-rated
Timber fuelled embodied energy
Actively recycled

Installation & Disposal

No known health risks for workforce or installers
Easily and quickly installed
No VOC emissions
Durable
Low maintenance
Reusable / Recyclable
Compostable

Performance

Excellent dynamic rigidity (30 MN/m³)
High impact sound reduction
High airborne sound reduction
Excellent thermal insulation
Vapour permeable
Hygroscopic (absorbs & releases moisture)
Helps regulate indoor climate
Vermin and fungus resistant
Electrically neutral
Non-radioactive
Free from toxins and allergens
Dimensionally stable (low thermal movement)

ThermoFloor boards can be installed below all types of commonly specified floating floors - screeds, dry flooring elements, unfired clay blocks, flooring grade chipboard and flooring grade OSB. ThermoFloor is often installed in two layers in order to accommodate conduit runs.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

Maximum installation thickness
Screed (cement, anhydrite, asphalt etc)	60 mm
Chipboard > 25 mm	30 mm
OSB flooring > 22 mm	30 mm
Dry Flooring Elements > 25 mm	30 mm
ThermoSafe-nf 40mm	20 mm

For greater thicknesses use ThermoSafe 040.

STORAGE & HANDLING

Storage
Store in dry conditions.

Cutting
Cut boards using a fine-toothed hand saw, Jig saw, or circular saw with integral dust extractor.

Installation

• Protect boards from moisture in the substrate / screed.
• Avoid cross joints when laying.
• Stagger joints when installing more than one layer.
• Install edge strip to the full height of the proposed floor make up.
