TETRiS
How Does It Work?
The TETRiS flooring system comprises three different types of extruded polystyrene (XPS) insulation blocks. When connected together, they form a flat fixed level above the concrete beams with zero cold bridges, on which a structural concrete finish is laid.

How Does It Work


1 T-blocks: large insulation blocks (0.75m2 or 1.5m2 ) profiled to suit specific pre-stressed concrete floor beams used. The blocks 75mm upper section sits on the beams, and the lower section (15mm - 45mm) hangs between.
2 Gap strips: 75mm thick insulation blocks, used to make up areas that T-blocks do not cover.
3 Vertical edge strips: Supplied to suit the thickness of concrete finish (65mm or 75mm), fixed around the floor's external perimeter to eliminate cold bridging.
TFIX: fixing pins used to secure the strips in position.
