Concrete floor thermal break system comprises embedded polystyrene insulating members fitted adjacent to walls before pouring concrete

摘要

The thermal break system for a concrete floor cast on joists (16) and spacers (18) consists of a series of insulating members (46, 48) embedded in the thickness of the floor (10) adjacent to the walls (12, 14) before the concrete is poured. The thermal break system for a concrete floor cast on joists (16) and spacers (18) consists of a series of insulating members (46, 48) embedded in the thickness of the floor (10) adjacent to the walls (12, 14) before the concrete is poured. The insulating members are of two types: lengthwise members (46) laid parallel to the joists and transverse members (48) perpendicular to the joists and resting on adjacent joists.
