Creatherm™ & BASF: A partnership built on innovation
Our partnership with BASF allows us to take advantage of some of the world’s best engineering minds to leverage the most efficient and effective materials for strength and insulation. Neopor®, an expandable polystyrene (EPS) was invented by BASF in 1995 by mixing graphite with the raw material. The most important properties of EPS include: excellent thermal insulation capacity, high compressive strength, outstanding impact absorption and low weight. Foam is an eco-friendly building material and is incredibly strong, quiet, virtually allergen free and is not a food source for insects or mold. These panels offer a great solution for slab-on-grade, snow melt, retro-fit and root zone heating. The finished floor panel size is 2’ x 4’ and features a staggered snap-tight grid for optimal tubing spacing. On-center points exist every 3 inches.
Our Neopor® foam panel product line can help projects qualify for LEED credits. Radiant floor panels can be used in a variety of projects in existing buildings, commercial interiors, core & shell development, homes, schools, neighborhood developments, health care, laboratories and retail; all examples of projects potentially qualifying for LEED certification.
