Insulation is most effective in areas which are responsible for the most heat transfer in a building. Vast majority of heat enters a building through the roof, followed by walls and then some via flooring. So Roof insulation and Wall insulation (sun-facing sides) are the most important areas to install insulation. All areas of building insulation are illustrated as follows:
The primary function of Geofoam is to provide a lightweight void fill below a highway, bridge approach, embankment or parking lot. Thermopore® Geofoam minimizes settlement on underground utilities and slope stabilization in areas that may be subject to failure.
Thermopore® is a commonly used and suitable material for void formers, which are openings and voids that appear within concrete structures in the building process. Being lightweight Thermopore® void formers reduce weight on the structure and are easy to handle.
Thermopore® pipe section can be ordered by providing the following basic information or alternatively you can call / send us your requirement:
• Size (Diameter) of pipe to be insulated
• Type of pipe to be insulated (Steel, PVC, etc)
• Density of pipe insulation required (higher density = better R-value)
