baseTherm® Floor Insulation System is a pumpable, light-weight thermal and insulating screed mortar consisting of EPS beads, fast-drying cements and Isostay proprietary additive. Mixed on site using a purpose-built Mobile Floor Insulation Factory, it meets the requirements of I.S. EN 16025-1 and I.S. EN 16025-2.
baseTherm® has been developed using IsoStar and Enginy certified technology, together with EPS bead manufacturing partner KORE System in Co. Cavan.
The product is used as a thermally insulating, non-structural, bound expanding polystyrene system (BEPS), which can contribute to the thermal and acoustic performance of floors in either new or existing buildings.
Where is baseTherm® used?
• Below a concrete floor slab
• Below a floor screed on a concrete slab with a hardcore base
• Above a suspended concrete floor
(e.g., block and beam) with a floor screed
baseTherm® is suitable for internal application to ground-supported and suspended floors in existing and new domestic and non-domestic building applications. The system is available in four grades, baseTherm® Low Lambda, baseTherm® 150, 200 and 250 depending on thermal performance and loading.
