Of course, if the current floor does have insulation under it, you could just pour the new, lightweight concrete over the original slab. The older concrete would act as thermal mass for the new ...

Laminate is an attractive option for the basement, provided you use the right kind. Play it safe by sticking to products ...

Using 11 different concrete-to-concrete thermal breaks on the project, KSK Construction Principal Ulgur Aydin estimates that his team installed approximately 1,000 linear ft. (305 m) of them at ...

A new multiscale model predicts how concrete’s stiffness and thermal-expansion change at high temperatures, offering insights ...

BarrierHL™ is a flexible, low-profile, 25 psi, under concrete insulator that is made with ¼-inch thick EPS foam in flexible 4- x 96-foot rolls. BarrierHL protects concrete from heat loss and moisture ...

In terms of value, the Building Thermal Insulation Market size was estimated at USD 29.2 billion in 2023 and is projected to ...

One big problem in your garage is that the concrete floor absorbs incredible heat. Another problem: You regularly drive your car — with an engine running at about 400 degrees — into the garage.

Concrete-to-concrete structural thermal breaks insulate and support the cantilevered roof and floor plates. Interspersed are thermal break modules for earthquake load transfer.
