The heart of Thermosystem systems is the thermal insulation panels fixed to the masonry, which are mostly made of polystyrene or mineral wool. It is primarily the material and thickness of these boards that determine the thermal insulation performance of the system. A useful online application, the Cemix Thermal Insulation Calculator, is a great help in determining the correct layer thickness.

Polystyrene slab systems offer excellent value for money and meet most residential needs, so they are the main choice for thermal insulation of detached houses and condominiums. These boards are available in thicknesses up to 30 cm. Cemix polystyrene based thermal insulation systems are Thermosystem Start, Thermosystem Intenzive, Thermosystem Grafit.

Mineral wool boards have excellent vapour permeability and a Class A fire rating, meaning they are non-combustible. They can be installed in a single layer up to 20 cm thick. Cemix mineral wool insulation systems Thermosystem Green, Thermosystem Air

The plinths of buildings must be able to withstand more severe loads. Soil moisture, precipitation reflecting off the ground (typically from pavements or other paved surfaces) and mechanical impacts (kicks, balls hitting the ground, etc.) will put all the materials used in the thermal insulation system to the test. Cemix has specifically designed the Thermosystem Shield plinth insulation system to meet these requirements.

Cemix offers a 5+5 year guarantee on all Thermosystem insulation systems.
