Insulating the floor on the ground

Underfloor insulation with termPIR® AL boards

Legend:

1. Wooden flooring / porcelain stoneware tiles: The final finishing layer that ensures the aesthetics and functionality of the floor.
2. Concrete screed, including heating pipes: A stable layer that can incorporate underfloor heating elements.
3. Construction foil: Layer to prevent soil moisture infiltration.
4. Thermal insulation with termPIR® AL boards: The main insulation layer that provides effective protection against heat loss.
5. Moisture insulation made of PE film (minimum thickness 0.2 mm): Moisture protection, preventing water from entering the insulation layers.
6. Lean concrete: The initial layer that forms the base for the insulation.
7. Waterproofing (if required): An additional layer of protection against moisture, used in high-risk areas.
8. Mechanically stabilised sand: Underfloor base, providing adequate stability and load-bearing capacity.

Insulating the Ground Floor with termPIR® AL boards:

Our PIR foam insulation boards, termPIR® AL, are the ideal solution for insulating the floor on the ground. They are characterised by their ease of installation and excellent thermal insulation properties, making them a suitable choice for both small and large areas.

What is a floor on the ground?

The floor on the ground is a common solution in single-family housing, especially where no basement is planned. Its main function is:

• Protection against moisture: Prevents moisture from the ground penetrating into the building.
• Thermal insulation: Protection against the loss of heat from the interior of the building, which affects comfort and energy efficiency.

When to insulate the floor on the ground?

Insulation of the floor on the ground should be carried out during the finishing work of the building. It is a key element for both energy efficiency and occupant comfort. Insulation should be carried out in every situation to avoid unpleasant consequences such as dampness or heat loss. When installing underfloor heating, it is also worth paying attention to the proper insulation of the intermediate floors.

Why choose termPIR® AL boards?

PIR boards offered by our company is a material with exceptional thermal insulation properties, which ensures long-lasting and effective insulation. Thanks to their low thermal conductivity coefficient, PIR panels make it possible to reduce the thickness of insulation layers while increasing usable space. They are resistant to moisture and mould, which guarantees their longevity and effectiveness.

An investment for years

When you choose termPIR® AL insulation boards, you are investing in a durable solution that provides excellent thermal insulation and moisture protection. Our boards are the ideal choice for anyone who wants to improve the comfort and energy efficiency of their building.
