Perimeter & Foundation Insulation
Heat loss from heated basements to the surrounding ground can be significantly reduced by installing technically approved Neopor® perimeter insulation panels on the exterior of basement walls. Perimeter insulation panels made of Neopor have good R-values and therefore strong thermal insulation properties.
In addition, they are stable under pressure at different installation depths and pressure loads, and are highly resistant to normal soil moisture.
During installation, it is important to follow the specifications of local building codes for the relevant area of application.
Neopor insulation panels also provide the base of a building with effective protection against heat loss.
Perimeter and Foundation insulation panels do not assume functions such as providing drainage or sealing buildings against moisture.
Advantages
- High resistance to normal soil moisture
- Perfect supplement to thermal insulation composite systems
Under Slab Insulation
Floor insulation is important for preventing heat loss to the soil substrate. Due to their high compression strength, Neopor® boards are excellently suited for distributing loads when used for this application.
Because Neopor insulates more effectively than other insulation materials, thinner boards can be installed. This reduces construction costs in addition to delivering other benefits.
Advantages
- Low water uptake
- Resistant to aging and decay
- High compression strength and bulk density
