Insulated Concrete Sandwich Panels from Composite Global Solutions

THERMOMASS Makes Concrete Make Sense.

Concrete has a number of advantages as a building material. It is strong, fast to build with and basically indestructible. Concrete as a material has a high thermal mass, but by itself is a poor insulator.

The advantages of concrete start to really come to the fore when combined used in systems that allow the building to take advantage of the high thermal mass while also maintaining a good thermal insulation envelope. Insulated concrete sandwich panels are the best way to make the best of concrete. THERMOMASS is the original and the best concrete sandwich panel insulation system. The thermal mass of the building will absorb and release heat during diurnal swings, whilst the insulation will keep the worst of ambient conditions out. In winter this means the building can take most advantage of the sun warming up the internal mass. In summer, the thermal mass keeps the air cool inside until night time, where the windows can be opened and stored heat released.

Buildings insulated from the inside (most buildings in Australia) and lightweight structures have very little or no ability to take advantage of thermal mass, meaning the artificial heating and cooling must work harder against ambient conditions to achieve the desired internal temperature.

There are a few insulated concrete sandwich panels in the Australian market. Only one has 30 years of experience all over the world and comes backed with independent third party evaluation of strength and performance. What sets THERMOMASS apart is that THERMOMASS connectors are completely thermally and chemically compatible with concrete, eliminating cracking, spalling and potential delamination of the concrete. THERMOMASS makes concrete a viable, energy efficient, cost effective choice for all kinds of building applications. THERMOMASS Makes Concrete Make Sense.
