However, the real question it raises with me when, in terms of eps density and thickness, might we reach a balance point such that no concrete is needed? Can EPS of the right density and thickness take full successive floor and roof loadings, perhaps with only thin steel or nylon ties from roof to ground slab to resist wind loading.<br /Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14798090.post-42646653180414816072009-02-13T21:37:00.000+00:002009-02-13T21:37:00.000+00:00Hi guysthis seems no different to just casting rei...Hi guys<BR/>this seems no different to just casting reinforced concrete on sheet eps. If you want a suspended slab then the better option in terms of span performance would be a beam and block system with an eps block infill.(Jetfloor?) You dont then need hardcore or infil material and the structural floor is only 150 deep for up to 5m spans<BR/>and U values down at 0.15 or lower.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14798090.post-56650542819448207642008-11-20T13:15:00.000+00:002008-11-20T13:15:00.000+00:00Well I have used this product in three houses and ...Well I have used this product in three houses and the point is it is a ground supported but ventilated system. So not only do you get high U-values that can easily be made higher by putting additional insulation over the DMP before you pour but it means you can satisfy Radon and contaminated land issues easily through ventilation. As it is ground supported the floor wall union can be insulated Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14798090.post-63233686209451114592008-11-13T09:45:00.000+00:002008-11-13T09:45:00.000+00:00Hi Guys!!!It’s really very good blog.I have a webs...Hi Guys!!!<BR/><BR/>It’s really very good blog.<BR/>I have a website which deals in buying property and land in abroad.<BR/>I hope this might be very helpful to purchase and <A HREF="http://www.offplanworld.tv/" REL="nofollow">buying land in Abroad</A>.<BR/><BR/>So please visit us...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14798090.post-5071752595775382532008-11-13T09:24:00.000+00:002008-11-13T09:24:00.000+00:00It is a great idea, however I note that at the wal...It is a great idea, however I note that at the wall/floor junction there is still a significant cold bridge. Can you have the slab/eps 'floating' from the wall, so that a vertical section of insulation can be installed against the wall, 'breaking' the cold bridge?<BR/>What happens if you want to go to higher levels of insulation - at what location in the build up can you install extra insulation?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11996356787096885371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14798090.post-838552990501783912008-11-11T15:38:00.000+00:002008-11-11T15:38:00.000+00:00Hi Mark,I checked the web site for "Eco-slab", www...Hi Mark,<BR/><BR/>I checked the web site for "Eco-slab", www.thermaflor.com, which came up fine on my browser.<BR/>The literature we gave out refers to the Thermaflor website, which is currenlty being updated, and the whole product is undergoing a re-branding exercise to make better use of a name that links to one of its key benefits.
