Thermal Lightweight Aggregate (TLA)
Pourable Insulation
Thermal lightweight aggregate is a specialized construction material made from lightweight, porous substances that provide excellent thermal insulation. It is used in concrete, finishing, and insulation applications to help improve energy efficiency by reducing heat transfer. Its lightweight nature also helps decrease the overall weight of structures, reducing load on foundations and allowing for faster construction. Thanks to its insulating properties and durability, thermal lightweight aggregate is an ideal choice for environmentally friendly and energy-efficient building solutions, with very little waste
WHY?
Excellent Thermal Insulation
Provides effective thermal insulation, reducing heat transfer and improving the energy efficiency of buildings.
Lightweight
Significantly reduces the overall weight of structures, helping to lower foundation loads and making it suitable for areas with poor ground-bearing capacity.
Fire Resistance
Offers excellent fire-resistant properties, enhancing the safety and performance of the structure.
Sound Insulation
Provides effective acoustic insulation, helping to reduce noise transmission within buildings.
Durable and Stable
Resistant to weathering, moisture and decay, contributing to the long-term durability of the structure.
Environmentally Friendly
Often manufactured using recycled materials or industrial by-products, making it a more sustainable construction solution.
Easy to Install
Its lightweight nature makes it easy to pump, handle and install, helping to speed up construction programmes.
Reduces Material Waste
Applied using specialist pumping equipment to ensure the material is thoroughly mixed and placed accurately. This process minimises waste, reduces material usage and provides an efficient, cost-effective solution.
Key Features of the Installed TLA System
These photos showcase the TLA system in action, highlighting the exceptional airtight seal achieved around pipes and service penetrations. The system also allows underfloor heating to be seamlessly incorporated, with screed applied directly over the top to create the finished floor, providing an efficient and practical solution.
