Foil Faced Insulation Board ThermaAdvantage™ from Rmax
ThermaAdvantage™ is an internationally accepted expanded polystyrene
(EPS) thermal insulation system. By combining the outstanding thermal
characteristics of EPS with the high reflectivity and low emissivity of foil,
ThermaAdvantage™ provides superior levels of insulation comfort with
reduced heating and cooling cost. At the same time ThermaAdvantage™
provides enhanced levels of severe weather protection. All of this can be
achieved without increasing the thickness of insulation.
The EPS cavity wall insulation system is one
of a select group of insulation systems that
meets the CSIRO Division of Building Research
recommended specifications relating to wind
driven rain.
ThermaAdvantage™ gives you a continuous
insulation membrane by covering studs and
noggins. These can occupy around 15 percent
of a wall area. This large proportion of wall, when
uninsulated, (as is the case with conventional
between stud insulation) promotes heat loss
and gain, while creating other related problems
such as dust encroachment into the interior
living spaces.
In addition to providing superior insulation
quality and enhanced security from severe
weather over the life of the building,
ThermaAdvantage™ can provide real
benefits during construction by giving an
early weatherproof envelope to allow internal
trades to commence work prior to completion
of the external finish.
ThermaAdvantage™ has been awarded
accreditation by the Building Regulation
Advisory Committee.
Easy and safe to install
ThermaAdvantage™ EPS boards are
lightweight, clean and easy to cut or
shape on site with a knife or handsaw.
ThermaAdvantage™ does not irritate the skin
or give off any harmful fibres or gases. It does
not provide a food source or host environment
for insects, vermin or bacterial growth, nor
does it rot or decay.
ThermaAdvantage™ panels are quickly fixed
to the stud using Pryda board fixers located
on every stud horizontally and positioned at
600mm centers vertically.
Once fixed in place the joints are then sealed
with an RMAX approved joining tape.
