Why is extruded polystyrene the best insulator in sandwich panels?

The core of theTHERMOCHIP® sandwich panels is made up of extruded polystyrene. This rigid foam, hidden by the decorative finish, is common to the entire range of products – except forTHERMOCHIP® ALPHA, composed of rock wool – due to thethermal insulation advantagesthat it provides. It is commonly applied on roofs, allows tongue and groove jointing and has high mechanical resistance.

The reduction in energy consumption that insulation entails is not intended solely for long-term economic savings. He extruded polystyrenecontributes in an essential way to improving theenergy efficiency of the homes. Its application in construction solutions provides greater thermal comfort and meets the environmental criteria ofsustainable architecture by reducing the emission of atmospheric pollutants.

EXCELLENT FOR SLOPED ROOFS

Climatic circumstances are especially demanding on the design of a building. ThatTHERMOCHIP®have insulation built into its coreextruded polystyreneIt is an advantage to buildlight covers, since it prevents heat leaks in winter and excess sun in summer. Among other properties, its high waterproofing and resistance to water vapor stands out.

TONGUE AND HEM ON ALL FOUR SIDES

The easy adaptability of the foam allows it to be manufactured in different dimensions and thicknesses.THERMOCHIP® has taken advantage of this characteristic to innovate and patent atongue and groove systemfor the four faces thateliminates thermal bridges, by maintaining the continuity of the insulation, and facilitates the installation of the wood panels with a tabless assembly.

HIGH MECHANICAL RESISTANCE

Heextruded polystyrene It also has high mechanical resistance. This capacity, developedad hocin its advanced technological manufacturing process, it allowsTHERMOCHIP® sandwich panelswithstand the loads of the roof – such as the weight of tiles, snow or wind pressure – without damage or difficulty.
