The product is the whole building envelope. Start from the problem, not the SKU — the same EPS board does a different job in a cavity, under a slab and above a membrane. Filter by where it goes, or browse all nine.
A conventional roof needs a sheet, a separate insulation layer, a vapour strategy and a ceiling — four trades, four programme items, and a thermal envelope only as good a…
Heat leaks out of a building fastest at the places the insulation stops — the slab edge, the ring beam, the lintel, the steel stud. Continuous insulation (EIFS) answers t…
A double-leaf masonry wall has an air cavity between the leaves that is doing very little thermal work, while mortar droppings bridge it and wall ties conduct through it.…
A cold store is an envelope that has to hold a large, permanent temperature and vapour-pressure difference for 20+ years — the failure mode is not "poor comfort", it is c…
A ground-bearing concrete slab is thermally coupled to the earth and, at its perimeter, directly to outside air — so an uninsulated slab edge is usually the largest linea…
A flat concrete roof must carry the waterproofing, the insulation, the SANS 10400-XA thermal requirement and usually paver or maintenance traffic in one build-up. In an i…
A cold roof puts the insulation at ceiling level, where every rafter, purlin, downlight and service penetration short-circuits it, and where the deck itself sits on the c…
Soft, compressible or low-bearing ground cannot carry the surcharge of a conventional soil or aggregate embankment without excessive settlement, lateral squeeze or bearin…
Poultry houses are thermally brutal: a large, low-mass roof plane over an environment that must hold a brooding set-point against night loss and a summer heat load, with …
Check your roof or wall against its SANS 10400-XA target and we will tell you what closes the gap.
We release technical documentation to named engineers and specifiers so we can support you properly on the project. One entry unlocks everything.
