Legend:

1. Load-bearing part of the wall: The basic structure of the wall on which the insulation rests.
2. insulation boards termPIR® AL/termPIR® BWS: Specialised thermal insulation panels that provide effective thermal insulation and moisture resistance.
3. Glue or fixing pins: Mounting components used to fix insulation boards.
4. Bucket film: Protective material to protect the insulation from moisture.
5. Concrete screed: A stable, levelling layer that forms a base for further layers.
6. Horizontal damp proofing: Horizontal moisture penetration layer.
7. Footing: The foundation of the building on which the rest of the structure rests.

Insulation of underground storey walls with termPIR® panels

termPIR® insulation boards are an excellent solution for insulating underground storey walls, thanks to their high compressive strength. We also offer termPIR® BWS boards with a glass veil facing soaked in a bitumen binder, which allows the waterproofing layer to be effectively bonded to the thermal insulation with a bitumen adhesive.

When is it worth building a basement?

In the past, basements served a protective and storage function, as well as improving the insulation of the building from the ground. Today, the construction of a basement is particularly beneficial for uneven plots of land or limited space where additional utility rooms are difficult to find. The basement can then act as additional utility space and protect the upper floors from flooding.

Basement waterproofing

Effective basement waterproofing is crucial to protect against groundwater and its harmful effects. Properly executed waterproofing protects against dampness and flooding. The materials used in the process must be durable, robust and have low absorbency to minimise the risk of dampness. PIR boards provide high resistance to groundwater and protect against fungal and mould growth.

Benefits of using PIR boards

When you choose termPIR® panels for insulating the walls of your basement floors, you are investing in an effective solution that provides long-lasting moisture protection and excellent thermal insulation. Our panels are the ideal choice for basement construction, guaranteeing long-lasting functionality and high quality.
