Thermablok^® Case Studies

Challenges

• Insulate a new floor being installed in a residential house. The existing floor had been laid down directly on the ground without any insulation.
• The new floor needed to improve the thermal comfort in the house and reduce heating costs.
• There was not much space to insulate.

Aerogel Solution

• The An aerogel solution of 9mm Thermablok was chosen for its outstanding insulation value in a thin profile.
• The use of conventional insulation materials would have required altering or changing all doors and frames.

Benefits

• Thermablok was installed on the entire floor in 30 minutes; polystyrene foam requires a full day.
• The time savings reduced labor costs and allowed the project to remain on schedule.
• The owner did not have to change any doors and frames, saving substantial time and money.
• Thermablok is easy to unwind on the floor, flexible but robust and easily cut like a carpet.
• The thin Thermablok saved over 3cm of height in the room. It took just 30 minutes to install Thermablok throughout tis entire room. Polystyrene foam takes a full day to install.
