Insulating Concrete with Thermomass Building Insulation System

Concrete walls are notorious for moisture and condensation. Although concrete walls can be insulated, they must be insulated differently than wooden constructed walls.

It's a common misconception that other construction methods are less expensive than using insulated concrete. When all factors are considered, there is no more economical way than insulated sandwich wall construction with the THERMOMASS Building Insulation System. Concrete is relatively inexpensive and is one of the most durable and flexible construction materials available.

Thermomass Building Insulation System is used extensively in precast or tilt-up concrete wall panels for building applications such as warehouses, factories, shopping centres, school buildings, multi-level residential and domestic housing. The composite CONCRETE/STYROFOAM/CONCRETE wall has the insulating qualities of concrete more than 1 metre thick with the inner concrete wall whose temperature has been adjusted to that desired for the purpose of the building.

Business owners know that time is money. The faster your building is operational, the sooner your bottom line improves. By sandwiching the insulation between the two layers of concrete, the facility's walls are built and insulated in one operation, greatly reducing construction time and getting the project finished on schedule. Getting the building constructed quickly is just the beginning, the long-term advantages of insulated concrete using THERMOMASS speak for themselves, here are just a few:

• Longer building life
• Pest & termite resistant
• Lower building maintenance costs
• Continued energy cost savings

Save up to 45 per cent on heating and cooling energy with roof and ceiling insulation. Save up to an additional 20 per cent of heating and cooling energy with wall insulation.

THERMOMASS precast insulated wall panels are the perfect alternative to traditional construction methods in all applications.
