TS System

All panels are made from 100% recyclable material.

The expanded polystyrene (EPS) used in the Rackham TS floor system is an excellent insulating medium which exhibits consistent thermal performance over the range of temperatures normally encountered in buildings.

The EPS is produced to the requirements of BS EN13163 "Thermal Insulation Products for Buildings" and comprises of expanded beads of polystyrene and fused together in steam heated moulds under pressure.

To achieve even better 'u' values than white EPS, graphite is incorporated into the manufacture of the panels which gives them a distinctive grey colour and improves their thermal performance beyond that of the white product.

The Rackham TS System panels have high strength to weight ratio and no special precautions are required during handling or cutting when carried out in a well ventilated area.

All the EPS is non toxic and biologically inert and causes no irritation to the eyes or skin. In addition, it will not sustain mould growth and has no nutritional value to insects or vermin.

The EPS conforms to the Montreal Protocol and will gain credits under BREEAM as it is an insulant with an ozone depletion potential (ODP) of zero; a global warming potential (GWP) of less than 5 and does not use, contain or produce Urea Formaldehyde, CFC's or indeed any of the so called soft CFC's, i.e. HCFC's and HFA's.
