TERMONIUM fundament (foundations)

The product complies with the harmonized standard EN 13163:2012.

TERMONIUM fundament EPS 100    EPS-EN 13163-T(2)-L(3)-W(3)-S(5)-P(5)-BS150-CS(10)100-DS(N)2-DS(70,-)2-DLT(1)5-WL(T)3,5

Those are white and orange foamed polystyrene boards produced from specially selected raw material containing orange protective filter. TERMONIUM fundament boards have the parameters meeting the requirements of modern thermal insulation used in extreme conditions in which the product is in direct contact with water and for a long period of time exposed to a temperature change. The boards can have a direct contact with the ground and they do not require additional protection. The boards may be produced with flat or milled edges enabling proper fitting. The boards are manufactured in standard dimensions: 1000 mm long, 500 mm wide, 10 mm thick, and then every 10 mm. A compressive creep deformation of 2% or less, when subjected to a permanent compressive stress of 30 kPa (3000 kG/m²).

Polystyrene subjected to voluntary certification and recommendation procedure at Building Research Institute (Polish: ITB), not resulting from the system of assessment and verification of performance constancy.

 Implementation

The EPS foam boards should be used according to the manufacturer’s instructions, RTQ ITB 1261/2013 Technical and Quality Recommendations, and guidelines included in a construction design. After having been fixed to external walls, the EPS boards above the ground level should be immediately covered with an outer layer (reinforcing layer and plaster) and with a waterproofing layer (PE film or damp-proof coarse). EPS boards under the ground level should be covered with ground with the aim of protecting them against the direct influence of weather conditions (UV radiation), which have a destructive effect on EPS surface. In case of long-term exposure to atmospheric factors, the surface of boards can be covered with yellowish, thin covering. Therefore, before the reinforcing layer is applied by ETICS method, remove the covering with fine sandpaper until there are no loose particles on the surface which could weaken the adhesion to the polystyrene.
To fix TERMONIUM fundament boards, use the polyurethane adhesive TO-KPS (together with mechanical fasteners except for the layers under the ground level) or TO-KS adhesive (only for boards above the ground level). To make the reinforcing layer, use the TO-KU universal, TO-KUB white adhesive and TO-S145 or SP-S170 meshes (adhesive and meshes only for boards above the ground). It is recommended to protect the boards by damp-proof coarse or similar acceptable for the contact with EPS under the ground level.

 Caution

Do not use the EPS boards in direct contact with the substances having destructive effect on polystyrene EPS, such as organic solvents (acetone, benzene, nitro), etc.

 Package, storage, transportation

TERMONIUM fundament boards are supplied only in the original manufacturer's packaging.
