If you are new to THERMOMASS and insulated concrete sandwich panel construction, there’s a lot of information to take in. Here we hope to give it to you in a nutshell. Call us regarding your project and how THERMOMASS Makes Concrete Make Sense. For a 5 minute video summary, including thermal bridging testing footage – see the video page.

THERMOMASS XPS insulation, the fibre composite connectors, in combination with two layers of concrete, creates a thermal envelope with a high thermal mass. This document demonstrates the thermal performance of a typical wall construction with THERMOMASS.

THERMOMASS’s greatest strength is the way it places high levels of thermal mass on the inside of the insulated envelope – evening out diurnal temperature swings and greatly increasing the performance of the building. The bigger the swing, the more dampening effect the mass has. For a more comprehensive understanding of the way THERMOMASS lets your building utilise its high level of thermal mass – read this article.
