PORTICO FLOORING (PILOTY FLOORS)

This building system has become quite frequent in recent years. This flooring is laid on open porticos, namely floors built on a building's load-bearing pillars. Despite the fact that this building system is widely used, it gives rise to several problems, among which the major thermal dissipation and low temperatures that this type of floor is exposed to. Great attention is hence needed when building a structure like this and, in particular, excellent thermal insulation needs to be applied on the outer part of the building. Said insulation must also be highly resistant to compression, as it must bear a part of the structure's weight. Extruded polystyrene is the thermal insulation that ensures both characteristics and is appropriate for this type of application.

Frequently asked questions - faq

Can both XPS and PIR be used for external wall insulation?

Yes, suitable XPS and PIR products can be incorporated into compatible external wall insulation systems. Product selection depends on thermal requirements, substrate, façade system and project-specific performance requirements.

Why is XPS suitable for below-ground wall insulation?

XPS combines low water absorption, thermal performance and high compressive strength, making it suitable for external insulation of below-ground walls exposed to soil and mechanical stresses.

What functions does POLIISO® TEGOLA combine in a pitched roof?

POLIISO® TEGOLA combines PIR thermal insulation, integrated metal tile-support profiles and openings for under-tile micro-ventilation in a single roofing element.

How does X-FOAM® EASY TEGOLA contribute to under-tile ventilation?

X-FOAM® EASY TEGOLA incorporates longitudinal grooves on its upper surface that create channels for under-tile micro-ventilation, while transverse grooves are designed to accommodate the tile arrangement.
