Description
Ravatherm XPS X 700 SL thermal insulation is manufactured by extrusion production procedure, resulting in a homogeneous, closed-cell material structure, a smooth surface skin (extrusion skin) and many favourable material properties:
- permanently high thermal insulation performance
- water and frost resistance
- high compressive strength
- high flexible rigidity
- high vapor diffusion resistance
Ravatherm XPS X 700 SL thermal insulation can be applied either above or below the reinforced concrete slab, even if laid down directly onto a compacted gravel bed. In this case the framework of the reinforced concrete floor structure can be assembled on top of the thermal insulation. The insulation of the building against soil moisture can also be prepared here. Using this method can save a layer of blind concrete, reducing costs.
Some advantages include:
- built-in insulation-protection
- resistance to rot and deterioration
- high insulation performance over decades
- high moisture resistance
- low compression
- high E-modulus
- frost-resisting
- simple structural design and workability
- resistance to freeze-thaw cycles
