As the construction industry evolves and new building regulations are released, there is always demand for new innovative and practical solutions.
For flooring specifically, one of the major issues facing sites is the increasing demand for better u-values and air permeability ratings. In most cases this means increasing the amount of insulation in the floor, using a more expensive/rare type, and more intensive and costly labour process. When considering traditional rigid insulation boards such as EPS and PIR, not only do these boards have issues with air permeability and installation time, but they also generate offcuts and waste which have their own knock-on effect to site (as the waste must be disposed of). When you consider the ever-increasing cost and lead times that go hand in hand with these boards, it’s no wonder TLA is becoming the best new alternative to the dated methods that we all grow tired of.
The Benefits of TLA
Not only can TLA be delivered to site at an unmatched rate, typically installing thousands of m² per day (depending on site conditions etc), it has virtually zero waste and numerous added benefits. From a safety perspective, it has an A2,s1 – d0 fire rating, which means it has the best smoke and droplet classification available. Its pourable composition means it will completely fill all voids and encapsulate all pipes/services, giving maximum air tightness (typical Psi-value 0.05) with effectively zero cold bridges or thermal loss. It has NHBC certification and will be compliant with the 2025 Future Homes Standard and has a 10-year insurance-backed warranty for complete peace of mind.
Why TLA?
TLA can be used in floors to replace part, or all, of the traditional slab and insulation floating floor section. Not only can this fantastic product save you time, give benefits over and above the traditional methods, has a effect to carbon footprint and efficiency, but perhaps most importantly it makes life on site easier as the install is speedy and efficient.
