Triflex BIS provides thermal insulation for your balcony

It is important that balconies and roof terraces have efficient thermal insulation in order to increase the energy efficiency of the buildings. With older buildings in particular, uninsulated outside areas may have weak points that allow heat to escape: Continual thermal bridges may arise, as all-concrete balcony slabs transition into heated rooms with no thermal break. A lower surface temperature causes mould to form on the inner walls, damp to occur in the building structure and quality of living to be impaired. In autumn and winter, when heating is most required, the energy consumption also increases. Thermal bridges should therefore be rectified before outside temperatures start to fall.

The Triflex BIS Balcony Insulation System is an effective way of refurbishing your balconies and roof terraces and reducing your energy costs. The system solution can be used on almost all substrates. Expanded polystyrene rigid foam boards (EPS) or polyurethane (PUR) are used to ensure effective insulation, while a fibre-cement board acts as a load-distribution layer to make sure that the system can withstand mechanical loads.

As well as insulation against the cold, the Triflex BIS system solution also provides protection against moisture. This is made possible thanks to the finish with the Triflex BTS-P balcony waterproofing system. The premium waterproofing system with a polymethyl methacrylate resin (PMMA) base has been specially developed for balconies, walkways and roof terraces, and provides long-lasting protection against penetrating moisture. Thanks to the minimal layer thickness of the waterproofing system, the majority of the build-up height can be used for insulation. The thin coating means that the Triflex BIS system can also be used on balconies and roof terraces with low door and window sills. In order to ensure that the benefits of thermal insulation can be enjoyed by people in their homes over the long term, and that their investment is worthwhile, Triflex guarantees a high level of workmanship by working together with trained specialists.
