RMAX ThermaWallSilver

RMAX ThermaWallSilver is an environmentally friendly EPS multi purpose insulation product made from Neopor for even better performance. ThermaWallSilver’s insulation effect is up to 20% higher than conventional EPS with the same thickness, improving insulation for streamlined designs and providing easier installation. Neopor contains small particles of graphite that function as infrared reflectors that reduce thermal conductivity, improving insulation with less material. ThermaWallSilver will last the life a building and is suitable for multiple internal and external applications including: exterior insulation and finishing systems (EIFS), ceiling insulation, exterior insulation, cavity insulation, insulating concrete forms (ICFs), panel construction and floor insulation like RMAX ThermaFlex.

FEATURES

BASF Neopor technology + Highly improved insulation effect + Reduces thermal stress and risk of crack formation + Dimensionally stable + Weather-resistant + Ageing-resistant + Non-glare work in direct sunlight due to reduction of light reflection + Easy handling + Easy to cut and install + Versatile

ThermaProof by RMAX

RMAX ThermaProof is a new generation high performance water resistant exterior roofing solution ideal for applications prone to high moisture and humidity that require high compressive strength. ThermaProof is moulded from BASF’s Peripor, a flame retardant resin with high mechanical strength and low water absorption. This ensures ThermaProof achieves ‘life of structure’ performance which not only ensures the quality of the product but the life of the building it protects. Unlike expanded polystyrene (EPS), ThermaProof’s superior water resistance and consistent k value makes it the best solution for areas exposed rain and groundwater. Applications include converting flat roofs and balconies into gardens where ThermaProof can be installed into both old and new RC flat roofs. This highly energy efficient roofing solution is recyclable and manufactured in a low pollution process.

FEATURES

Can contribute to 6 star energy ratings + Consistent thermal conductivity values + Superior water resistance properties + Excellent compressive strength + Overlapping joints + Consistent thermal conductivity values + Water resistance + Easy to install + Allows for renovations of existing buildings
