In demand for
conservatories
Panel Systems reports a major
increase in demand for Styrofloor, a
high performance insulation solution
for enhancing the energy efficiency
of conservatories and extensions.
»»STYROFLOOR IS AN
easy-to-fit insulated flooring
panel suitable for use in new
build and refurbishment
projects. It reduces the amount
of heat lost through the floor,
providing insulation than can
achieve U-values as low as 0.11
W/m-K.
Styrofloor boards are made
from Styrofoam extruded
polystyrene (XPS) insulation,
bonded to a moisture resistant
chipboard finish. The chipboard
incorporates a tongue and
groove detail on all four edges
for easy installation. Because
Styrofoam offers closed
cell insulation, the boards

provide good water resistance
- eliminating the need for a
vapour control layer in the
floor construction. Extremely
durable, it will last the lifetime
of a building.
Boards are available in sizes
2400 x 600mm in a range of
thicknesses to meet specific
thermal requirements and can
be cut on site without specialist
fitting equipment.
Styrofloor can be delivered
directly to site on pallets, or
collected from Panel Systems’
warehouse just off M1 junction
31.
