Rackham TS System, Thermally efficient floors
Lightweight Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Benefits:
- Easy to cut, less dust, manual handling reduction, easy to install
- Excellent U-values
- BBA Certificate 16/5360 Rackham TS System
THE TS SYSTEM INTRODUCTION
The Rackham Housefloors TS System (beams infilled with EPS panels) is fast to install, easy to use and an effective solution to the requirement for improved floor U-Values.
Making it easier to install a top insulation sheet which must be laid on the floor to achieve the desired u value.
Used in conjunction with Rackham floor beams and appropriate floor finishes our TS system can achieve a 'U' value as low as 0.09W/m2K.
TS SYSTEM
The TS System can achieve 'U' values ranging from 0.19W/m2K to 0.09 W/m2K dependent on the depth of insulation top sheet laid above the beams and TS panels. This system has no toe.
'U' values are influenced by a number of factors including the P/A ratio (where P = floor perimeter and A = floor area).
The table below gives a guide regarding 'U values for both systems.
