Benefits to the end user and specifier of using Thermotec Rooftherm & Walltherm
- Completely free from all synthetic mineral fibres (SMF's) and therefore no special clothing including respirators is required.
- User friendly and completely safe to handle.
- While Rooftherm is fire retarded, in the event of ignition gases released are non-toxic: i.e. NO carbon monoxide or hydrogen cyanide.
- No filtration problems caused by fibrous dust particle release, the likes of which may in turn cause jamming in filter sand valves.
- Less load on fixing pins, thus reduced likelihood of product coming loose from fixings due to sagging induced strain loads.
- Where access is required for services, the product is easily cut with a sharp knife and does not tear, rip or splinter.
- Polyethylene foam is not rigid or brittle and therefore will not crack or snap when being handled or transported.
- Rooftherm is economical, as there is low wastage due to the variety of sizes available, and is ideal where tight roof levels exist as there is no necessity to alter roof levels.
- A range of thicknesses available to meet required 'R' values.
- Fully recyclable.
- Thermotec Rooftherm is 100% Australian Made.
Suggested Application Method for Rooftherm & Walltherm
The insulation batts shall be held in position using a Power Actuated System such as Ramset, or by using weld pins and press washers to firmly secure the insulation to the soffit of the roof or podium slab.
- A minimum of five pins per batt shall be used, preferably two at each end and one in the centre.
- All insulation shall be installed with the edges and ends tightly butted together.
- Where necessary, the insulation may be easily cut using a sharp knife.
