Springvale Beamshield

‘Springvale Beamshield is a rigid insulation panel moulded from lightweight, closed cell expanded polystyrene intended for use in suspended concrete ground floors. Springvale Beamshield is manufactured to a density of 17kg/m3 and is available in panels of one standard size which can be easily cut if necessary.

The system consists of pre-stressed concrete T Beams, manufactured in accordance with BS 8110-1:1997, infilled with Springvale Beamshield insulation panels and finished with a reinforced structural screed.

Springvale Beamshield EPS panels have a thermal resistance three times greater than lightweight thermal blocks, eliminating the need for additional insulation. The shape of the panels has been carefully developed to minimise thermal bridging at the T Beams; when installed, Springvale Beamshield panels form an unbroken layer of insulation below the beams.

The system is simple and quick to install and produces a floor with an excellent thermal insulation value.

Thermal conductivity (K value)= 0.033W/mK’
