Under-slab Insulation - XPS Insulation Board
With its extruded polystyrene (XPS) construction, this board does not absorb water, is not a food source for mold, and is not subject to moisture-related damage and deterioration. An R-Value of 5.0 per inch of thickness makes it an excellent thermal insulator that increases the energy efficiency of your structures. And it retains its insulating properties over time. The board also provides an extra barrier against moisture infiltration. Choose between a square edge (CM) and an interlocking shiplap edge (SL) that helps reduce energy-robbing air leaks at seams and gaps. XPS Insulation Board is ideal for a variety of applications, including below slab, below grade along the foundation, inside basement walls, exterior insulation over wood sheathing, and residing.

Concrete Roof Deck/Floor - Insulated Concrete Forms
The AmDeck® Floor and Roof System implements full 10″ deep lightweight steel joists (Gauge 12, 14 or 16 depending on application) to support construction loads. As a result, the shoring can be placed up to 20 ft on center which is four times less than competing products, significantly reducing construction costs.
One-way concrete floor / roof joists which are formed by the AmDeck® Floor and Roof System can span approximately 30 to 35 ft using normal concrete mixes and conventional reinforcing steel. Spans of greater than 40 ft can be achieved using higher strength concrete and post-tensioned reinforcing cable strands. Unlike competing products the AmDeck® Floor and Roofing System comes in standardized, small, lightweight modular units. This means that the system is much easier to use and handle, since pieces are not as large and bulky. In addition, required sizes also do not need to be pre-ordered since quantity can be adjusted to fit your project needs and leftover forms may be used for future projects. The EPS used in the green flooring and roofing decking system provides continuous insulation to your concrete floor or roof, which will provide you with an R-value of 17.8, or more depending on other materials used in conjunction with the system. The insulation is also highly effective at reducing the amount of noise that travels from one story to another. |
