Application

For suspended concrete ground floors in domestic, residential and commercial buildings.

Description

Beamshield Top Sheet/ UFH EPS blocks are suitable for use as thermal insulation in conjunction with precast concrete beams, masonry closure and coursing blocks, and structural concrete toppings in suspended concrete ground floors (over a subfloor void) in domestic, residential and commercial buildings.

Features and benefits:

  • A durable, inert, non-toxic, rot-proof and 100% recyclable product.
  • Using Beamshield Plus EPS units as an alternative to concrete blocks in a suspended floor will reduce ground floor heat loss, requiring no secondary insulation.
  • Beamshield Top Sheet can contribute to improvements in linear thermal bridging values (Psi values) and improvement of the default values used in SAP assessments.
  • The range of units are available in white or Platinum EPS to give higher insulation value where needed and include starter/ end, full and half width units in varying thickness and toe lengths (Beamshield Plus unit) to accommodate various beam types and beam layout configurations.
  • The Top Sheet to be used with the Infill units or Beamshield Plus units is also available in various thicknesses.
