2 WHAT IS THERMAL INSULATION DIFFERENT PRODUCTS USED FOR THERMAL INSULATION Thermal insulation is the method of preventing heat from entering the building (in Hot Climates) or escaping the building (in Cold Climates). The thermal insulators are referred to materials used to reduce the rate ofheat transfer. MODES OF HEAT TRANSFER Heat flows naturally from a warmer to a cooler space. In winter, the heat moves directly from all heated living spaces to the outdoors and to adjacent unheated attics, garages, and basements wherever there is a difference in temperature. During the summer, heat moves from outdoors to the house interior. To maintain comfort, the heat lost in winter must be replaced by your heating system and the heat gained in summer must be removed by your air conditioner. WHY INSULATE BUILDINGS? Heating and cooling account for 50 to 70% of the energy used in an average home. Inadequate insulation and air leakage are leading causes of energy waste in most home. Reduce the consumption of electrical energy up to 0% during the cooling process Inside the building. Increases the level of comfort for the inhabitants In a building as It provides a cooler Interior ambience. The usage of AC Is minimized. This helps to reduce the cost of power consumption. Technical Environmental Economical Extruded Polystyrene s referred to as XPS Expanded Polystyrene s referred to as EPS Mineral wool Fiberglass Polyurethane Foam Polyisocyanurate WHY EXTRUDED POLYSTYRENE FOR THERMAL INSULATION The process of extruding foamed polystyrene results in a material with uniformly small, closed cells, a smooth skin and an unrivalled set of properties which make it the choice of consultants in a wide range of demanding insulation applications. The following properties makes Extruded Polystyrene an ideal choice for thermal insulation: R- Value Mechanical Properties Moisture Resistance Chemical Resistance The ability of an insulation to resist heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power. XPS has excellent long term R-value and proven High and uniform compressive strength. The superior moisture resistance and very low vapour permeability of extruded polystyrene insulation provides outstanding benefits for most construction and engineering applications XPS is resistant to many common chemicals such as: acids, bases, water and water-based paints, alcohol and alcohol-based paints, brine or salt water, cement and mortars, asphalt, etc BITUMAT BituTHERM Specifications Hot Climate:In hot conditions, the greatest source of heat flow is solar radiation. The aim is to reduce the flow of heat inside the building. Cold Climate:In cold conditions, the main aim is to reduce heat flow out of the building, to keep living space warm. Go Green Plan for a better tomorrow. Use Energy as efficiently as possible. The use of thermal insulation in building walls and roof does not only contribute in reducing the required air-conditioning/ heating system size but also reducing the annual energy cost. Bitumat BituTHERM is a thermal insulation Extruded Polystyrene material in form of rigid boards, made of polystyrene, (a derivative of petroleum) by using the extrusion method. The boards have a closedcell structure and therefore they are resistant to water and humidity. They have excellent thermal insulation and compressive strength properties.

3 APPLICATION FIELDS ACCESSIBLE FLAT ROOF INSULATION Bitumat BituTHERM is utilized for the thermal insulations of: Flat roofs, either accessible or non-utilizable, as inverted roof construction. Roof Gardens. Parking decks. Exterior walls of buildings insulted on outer surfaces Below-grade exterior walls of basements (Perimeter insulation). On-grade floors of buildings. Cold store Insulations. MULTIPLE-LAYER INSULATION NRCA s recommended specification is for multiple-layer insulation. Bitumat urges double-layer application, especially when the total required thickness of XPS insulation is more than 2 inches (50 mm).
