Insulation of components in contact with the ground, perimeter insulation with flapor

Foam-moulded perimeter insulation boards – the term ‘perimeter’ represents the components of a building in contact with the ground – are subject to earth pressure and a high level of moisture because of where they are used. To ensure that the heat-insulating properties are retained for a long period of time, the automated machine boards have a high level of strength and low moisture uptake.

The automated machine board is based on a special raw material whose individual beads are enveloped in a wax-like coating. This raw material is added to a board mold in pre-foamed form and then welded with steam in a sophisticated production process. The flapor perimeter board which is produced in this way has an extremely homogeneous structure and a high level of compressive strength, is moisture-resistant and therefore ideally suited to use on the ground.

The advantages of perimeter insulation.

• The thermal insulation can be sized to suit individual specifications: it is possible to produce single layers of insulation up to 300 mm thick without any problem
• The external insulation prevents thermal bridges, especially in the base section
• The waterproofing is protected from any mechanical damage
• Correct sequence of layers in terms of structural physics, no vapor barrier required
• 100% materially recyclable
