TETRiS
Introduction TETRiS high performance insulation blocks enable builders
to construct suspended ground floors in a fraction of the
time it takes to build a traditional beam and block floor, reducing costs.
In addition, the system dramatically increases the floor's thermal efficiency
and
eliminates cold bridging, helping builders to comply with
the demanding requirements of the 2006 Edition of Approved
Document L (Section 6 - Energy for Scotland) of the 2000
Building Regulations.
TETRiS insulation blocks work in conjunction with pre-stressed
concrete floor beams to form a fixed floor level above the
beams whatever the floor's size, reducing design costs. The insulation
blocks are covered with concrete to produce a fully insulated finished
structural floor slab.
TETRiS blocks are made from lightweight, easy to handle,
closed cell extruded polystyrene, which have a high compressive
strength. They are strong, robust and are able to withstand
foot traffic during the build process.
