Our EnergyScreed TLA insulation system will help construct a new purpose-built modern school worth over £11 million.
With almost 2700 square meters to cover, we were ready for the challenge.
At EnergyScreed, we install insulation, underfloor heating, and screed quickly and efficiently, getting your project up and running in no time.
Our process is much faster than traditional methods, with the Giacomini UK Ltd Under Floor Heating commissioning starting just seven days after installation.
To provide a pourable insulation/void former, we mix TLA-coated EPS beads with cement and water.
We can design this to meet specific strength and thermal values, providing U-Value calculations.
Key Benefits
- No thermal bridging as the TLA provides a single monolithic block
- Virtually zero waste compared to traditional insulation boards
- Reduced heat and air loss
- Increased air tightness
- Non-combustible product with A2 fire rating
The Flooring Process:
We will deliver our innovative flooring process to achieve the best possible results for the new school project.
There are 3 steps:
Step 1: Install a nominal depth of TLA
The first step involves installing TLA, a special insulation made from cement.
TLA ensures the floor is not cold and keeps the heat inside while being installed seamlessly to eliminate cold bridges and thermal bypassing.
Step 2: Cover the TLA with a Separation Layer and install Giacomini DB Underfloor Heating Pipe and Manifolds
After installing TLA, a visqueen membrane is placed on top, followed by underfloor heating pipes.
The installation of these pipes follows a strict design that our team agrees with the client.
We set out the following:
- Pipe locations
- Pipe spacing and manifold areas
- Joints and pipe insulation to avoid excess heat in zones
We create the design to achieve a specific thermal output.
And the Dynamic Balancing Manifold uses less energy and reduces issues such as noise.
The pipes also come with a 101-year warranty.
Step 3: Apply a nominal depth of Cemfloor C25 Liquid Screed
Finally, we pour a special type of cement called Cemfloor C25 over the pipes and smooth out the floor.
This screed is thinner than regular sand and cement.
Which means the floor heats up faster and uses less material.
Joints are reflected at stress points and to manufacturers’ guidelines to pour the screed seamlessly.
