TETRiS Insulation
The TETRiS flooring system consists of 175mm deep pre-stressed concrete beams, infilled with extruded polystyrene (XPS) blocks which are supplied in easy-to-handle lengths enabling fast installation. The XPS boards are available in a range of configurations providing a flexible approach to achieving U-Values. The floor is completed with a structural concrete topping reinforced with either polypropylene fibres or steel mesh.
Benefits of TETRiS Insulation
- 300kpa XPS insulation - extruded polystyrene insulation - highest strength insulated flooring on market
- Thermal conductivity – 0.034w/mK
- Can accept foot traffic through construction
- Floor heights above beam fixed to 75mm for standard TETRiS T Block system
- Easily incorporates underfloor heating
- Insulation integrity guaranteed – sit on and between standard concrete beams
- High thermal performance: U-values as low as 0.09 W/m2K
- Produces a floor with zero cold bridging
- Faster floor construction & longer spans achieved
- Save on foundation costs and up to a third on beams (600 centres)
- 100% Recyclable
- Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management scheme
Components
- T-Blocks: 600mm & 300mm wide
- Gap Strips
- Vertical Edge Strips
- Concrete Blocks
- Concrete Closure Blocks
Certification
TETRiS flooring is approved by BM Trada under certificate number EFS-003 and is accepted by NHBC.
Advantages of Tetris Insulation
- Cost effective solution compared to traditional construction methods
- Environmentally friendly – HCFC free, zero ODP, and fully recyclable
- U-values of 0.13w/m2K easily achieved
- Strong and robust blocks, able to withstand foot traffic during the construction process and long-term static loads up 4kN/m2 (UDL)
- Lightweight blocks speed up the installation process, allowing for considerable labour savings, and a reduction in site traffic and off-loading.
- Zero cold bridging, ensures the flooring contributes towards meeting the Target Emissions Rating (TER)
- 75mm structural topping courses perfectly with two bricks; giving constant design detailing
- No need for a screeder as the structural floor is installed before the dwelling is built
- Gas membrane is easily incorporated
- Thermal performance is maintained for the life of the building due to the unique closed-cell structure
- Various concrete topping options, option of a self compacting concrete, eliminating need to power float
- Insulation integrity guaranteed– blocks sit on and between the beams in full view, eliminating the risk of sections not being installed
- Versatile – works in conjunction with most types of pre-stressed concrete beams and can be used in many building types
- Underfloor heating easily integrated
