One material. Nine jobs.

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. Each application below states what it must achieve, which SANS clause bites, which products do the job, and where not to use it.

Application

Insulated Roof, Wall & Ceiling Panels

A conventional roof needs a sheet, a separate insulation layer, a vapour strategy and a ceiling — four trades, four programme items, and a thermal env…

Application

Continuous Insulation (EIFS)

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 insulat…

Application

Cavity Wall Insulation

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…

Application

Cold Store & Refrigerated Buildings

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 "po…

Application

Under-Slab & Slab-Edge Insulation

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 usual…

Application

Inverted (Protected-Membrane) Roof

A flat concrete roof must carry the waterproofing, the insulation, the SANS 10400-XA thermal requirement and usually paver or maintenance traffic in o…

Application

Warm Roof

A cold roof puts the insulation at ceiling level, where every rafter, purlin, downlight and service penetration short-circuits it, and where the deck …
