Creatherm Named Top Fifty Product for 2008
For Immediate Release
Concrete & Masonry Construction Products Names CreathermTM S45 Radiant Floor Panels One of the Top Fifty Products for 2008
Indianapolis, IN – December 2008 – CreathermTM is pleased to announce that its S45 Radiant Floor Panel has been named one of Concrete & Masonry Construction Magazine’s Top Fifty Products for 2008.
In naming the Creatherm S45 panel to the list, the magazine wrote, “The floor panel has excellent thermal insulation capacity, high compressive strength, good impact absorption, low weight and flexible design capabilities.”
The finished floor panel size is 2’ x 4’ x 2.8” thick and features a staggered snap-tight grid for optimal tubing spacing. On-center points exist every three inches. The S45 Floor Panel can support the installation of ½”, 5/8” or 3/4” PEX Tubing. This newer panel does not support installing tubing at 45 degree angles but offers greater “R” Value due to its thickness. This makes the product ideal for colder climates or new construction.
CreathermTM Radiant floor panels are now manufactured out of BASF Styropor® EPS. Styropor® an expandable polystyrene (EPS) was invented by BASF in 1952 and today is a classic among the raw materials employed for cost-effective construction, as well as efficient and reliable packaging. The most important properties of Styropor® EPS include: excellent thermal insulation capacity, high compressive strength, outstanding impact absorption, low weight, and flexible design capabilities. The foam panels are also quiet, resistant to insects and mold, and virtually allergen free.
Headquarted in Whitestown, Ind., a northwest suburb of Indianapolis, Creatherm TM offers expanded polystyrene foam products to the building industry. Building on a design alliance with Createc Corporation, manufacturers of ICF panels, Creatherm’s Radiant Floor Panels were their first product to reach market. Creatherm TM is a proud member of the Radiant Panel Association.
