Sistema THERM

System TOP: The “Top” system is ideal for housing, especially at the building stage, when circuit construction speed is guaranteed by the type of panel provided with bosses for pipe positioning, and which moreover offers a high tread strength. The insulating ashlar panel TOP in closed-cell expanded polystyrene, marked CE as to standard UNI EN 13163, is coupled with a thermoformed HIPS film of thickness 0.6 mm to guarantee high tread strength, is undercut to allow perfect placing of the multilayer or polythene pipes (16<Ø<18), at multiple pitch 50 mm, with possible diagonal laying, and has slots and ridges along the perimeter for perfect adjacent panel coupling.

System UNIVERSAL: The “Universal” system is ideal for housing and offices, the circuit installation speed being guaranteed by the type of panel, provided with bosses for pipe positioning. The insulating ashlar panel UNIVERSAL in closed cell expanded polystyrene, marked CE as to standard UNI EN 13163, is coupled with a thermoformed HIPS film of thickness 0.16 mm undercut to allow perfect placing of the multilayer or polythene pipes (16<Ø<18), at multiple pitch 50 mm, with possible diagonal laying, and has slots and ridges along its perimeter for perfect adjacent panel coupling.



Sistemi ELEGANT: The “Elegant” system is ideal for housing and offices, above all when the areas have a special layout: the flat panel allows easy cutting to special shapes and formats. Using the “Elegant” system the pipe is completely submerged in the screed, so installation times are short. The flat insulating panel ELEGANT in expanded closed-cell polystyrene in rolls, marked CE as to standard UNI EN 13163, is protected above by a layered sheath of thickness 130-140 μm, made up of met-PET with an aluminium film having guidelines on the surface at pitch 50 mm, to help install the pipework, and has adhesive edges to allow perfect coupling between panels. To increase the thermal resistance of the panel, we also propose the version ELEGANT GRAFITE. This panel is in expanded polystyrene sintered with graphite without formaldehyde and with the same finish as the ELEGANT type panel.



System SLIM:  The “Silent” system is ideal for sound insulation against tread noise; thanks to its special composition the system allows sound energy dispersion like a spring, with the heat insulation characteristics of EPS remaining unaltered. The heating system built using the “Silent” panel offers a floating floor that decouples the floor from the structure. The insulating ashlar panel SILENT in elasticized polystyrene, marked CE as to standard UNI EN 13163, is coupled to a heat-formed HIPS film of thickness 0.6 mm, to guarantee high tread resistance, with an undercut to allow perfect seating of the multilayer or polyethylene (14<Ø<18) pipework, with an installation pitch of 50 mm and possibility of diagonal installation, having slots and ridges along the perimeter to allow perfect coupling between panels. The noise reduction ΔLW is 29 dB (as to UNI 12354-2 with unit mass of the floating screed 110 kg/m²).

The flat insulating panel ELEGANT in expanded closed-cell polystyrene in rolls, marked CE as to standard UNI EN 13163, is protected above by a layered sheath of thickness 130-140 μm, made up of met-PET with an aluminium film having guidelines on the surface at pitch 50 mm, to help install the pipework, and has adhesive edges to allow perfect coupling between panels.

This panel is in expanded polystyrene sintered with graphite without formaldehyde and with the same finish as the ELEGANT type panel.



System INDUSTRIAL: Radiant floor heating systems are most effective when the areas to be heated are of great height, as in industrial sheds, churches and sports centres. As heat transmission is by radiation, the temperature decreases with height, with multiple benefits: a heating economy of 50-60% with respect to traditional systems, as not the entire volume of the building is heated, large savings in the installation cost of the radiant heating system, reduced thermal capacity as only the radiant area is considered and reduced heat losses due to door opening if compared with air heating systems. The insulating ashlar panel INDUSTRIAL in closed cell expanded polystyrene, marked CE as to standard UNI EN 13163, is hot- coupled with a compact PS film of thickness 160 micron, s provided with bosses to seat the multilayer or polyethylene pipework (14<Ø<20), at multiple pitch 75 mm, and has slots and ridges along the perimeter for optimal edge coupling between panels



System DRY: The “Dry” system is ideal for winter heating but above all for summer use in residential structures, new and rebuilt, and in buildings such as sales centres, hospitals and schools, where the application of a false ceiling is the best choice among the proposed solutions. The preassembled radiant heating system in gypsum board can be used for both walls and ceilings, the modular panels allowing perfect adaptation to the architecture of the building with no compromise. The radiant heating DRY panel is prefabricated, composite and multilayer, self-supporting and is made up of an insulating EPS layer of thickness 30 mm and a 15 mm plasterboard with class zero fire resistance and densified with fibreglass, bonded together. In the surface plasterboard panel there are slots to host the hydraulic circuits in HD polythene with oxygen barrier, of size 8x1. The circuits are supplied by brass distributor manifolds lodged in the structure of the panel and that ensure hydraulic system balance, in turn connected to the external supply system by multilayer pipework 16x2 lodged in the insulating layer.
