THERMOCHIP® sandwich panels at the Scandinavian College of Madrid

The versatility ofTHERMOCHIP® sandwich panel guarantees its adaptation to any type of project. The renovation of the Scandinavian School of Madrid (Alcobendas) has used panelsTHERMOCHIP® forcover the groundof this expansion, providing lightness, resistance and thermal insulation thanks to the fact that it eliminates energy losses in the facilities and guarantees total thermal and acoustic tightness.

Santiago Carroquino ArchitectsThey have chosen sandwich panelsTHERMOCHIP® BICAPA to place them on a corrugated metal structure. Once installed, the extension was connected to the existing lower building. The project, completed in 2014, responds to the need to assume the increase in the number of students at this school, through an expansion of the number of pavilions.

The choice of THERMOCHIP® BICAPA to insulate the floors of the facilities it is a success thanks to its excellent thermal and acoustic performance. Made up of an extruded polystyrene core and an outer board, the panel provides an important extra ofthermal insulation, perfect for adapting the school to the new energy efficiency demands. Thanks to sandwich panels THERMOCHIP® BICAPA Heating and air conditioning costs for new facilities are reduced.

LOWER ENERGY CONSUMPTION

Besides,THERMOCHIP® BICAPA It helps to attenuate the noise typical of school facilities. Our sandwich panels are available with two finishes: water-repellent chipboard (humidity resistant) and OSB3 board (made from wood chips), which reduces energy consumption and environmental impact both during transportation and installation of the product.

He sandwich panel It is lighter than other insulating products. With measurements of 2400 x 550 mm, its weight varies between 7 and 15 kg/m2 depending on the insulation thickness, facilitating its transportation, handling and placement. With lower installation costs than other construction materials, the completion of the work is also faster.

Located in the Madrid urbanization of La Moraleja, the Colegio Escandinavo is a project inspired by traditional Scandinavian architecture. The gabled pavilions influence the idea of ​​grouping cabins as a space for learning.
