Insulating system BetonTherm styr xps

Thermal insulating composite system Betontherm styr XPS

Reinforced thermal insulating composite system with high a density cement bonded particle board 1350 Kg/m³ and an insulating extruded polystyrene panel density 35 Kg/m³.
The BetonTherm styr XPS reinforced thermal insulating composite system has a high performance thanks to its excellent mechanical strenght to compression. The external panel is composed with cement bonded particle board with high density (1350 Kg/m³) and high compression resistance (9000 kPa) and its reaction to fire is class A2 certified. The wood fiber Fibertherm panel is highly insulating and light.

Betontherm styr EPS is the ideal system for making composite systems with high thermal-acoustic insulation, high mechanical resistance and thermal displacement. This system allows an excellent insulation, both internal and external, of the perimeter walls, ceilings and partition walls. It is suitable for both traditional constructions and dry wood systems (type X-Lam or Platform Frame), or stone.

The reinfoced insulating system Betontherm styr EPS is made by coupling two high-performance materials in the factory: the first is the cement bonded particle board BetonWood which boasts a high density, 1350 kg/m³, a excellent compressive strength (9000 kPa) which allows the system to resist vandalism and impacts, and is certified in class A2 for fire resistance; the internal panel is made by insulating expanded polystyrene type EPS, with low density, 20 kg/m³, but which provides excellent thermal-acoustic insulation and high thermal displacement to the entire structure.

The Betontherm styr EPS is one of the best products on the market as materials, both in terms of durability, mechanical resistance, resistance to humidity, mass, thermal displacement, has an excellent fire behavior, and is also suitable for both new masonry and wood constructions.
The system includes:

• the Betontherm styr EPS panels have a layer made by cement bonded particle board, which constitutes the outermost rigid layer on which the desired finish can be applied. This panel is supplied already coupled with the insulating material and is milled both on the external edges and on the fixing points for housing the dowels. Edge milling makes it possible to reinforce the joints between the panels before smoothing, with the application of a glass tape, with adhesive on one side, in order to prevent the formation of micro-cracks in case of settlement of the building;
• BetonFix plugs equipped with anti-thermal bridge protection cap;
• fiber glass net and accessories;
• adhesives, smoothing compounds and finishing products.

All materials are CE certified. The BetonWood cement bonded particle board is also made exclusively with wood from controlled forests in compliance with the FSC directives (Forest Stewardship Declaration).


Thermal insulating composite system Betontherm styr XPS

Cappotto termico corazzato in cementolegno densità 1350 Kg/m³ e strato isolante in polistirene estruso densità 35 Kg/m³.
Il cappotto termico corazzato BetonTherm styr XPS è un isolante termo-acustico ad elevata resistenza meccanica in cementolegno e polistirene estruso con elevata resistenza meccanica alla compressione. Il pannello esterno è infatti composto da cementolegno ad elevata densità, elevata resistenza a compressione (9000 kPa) e certificato al fuoco in classe A2. Il pannello in polistirene estruso è altamente isolante e leggero.

Betontherm styr XPS è il sistema ideale per la realizzazione di cappotti ad elevato isolamento termo-acustico, ad alta resistenza meccanica e sfasamento termico. Questo sistema permette l'isolamento, sia interno che esterno, delle murate perimetrali ed è adatto sia per costruzioni di tipo tradizionale che per sistemi a secco in legno (tipo X-Lam oppure Platform Frame), o pietra.

Il cappotto termico corazzato Betontherm styr XPS è realizzato tramite l'accoppiaggio in fabbrica di due materiali ad elevate prestazioni: il primo è il cementolegno tipo BetonWood che vanta un'elevata densità, 1350 kg/m³, un'ottima resistenza a compressione (9000 kPa) che permette al sistema di resistere ad atti vandalici ed urti, ed è certificato in classe A2 di resistenza al fuoco; il pannello interno invece è in polistirene estruso tipo XPS, a bassa densità, 35 kg/m³, ma che fornisce un ottimo isolamento termo-acustico ed un elevato sfasamento termico.

Il cappotto Betontherm styr XPS è uno dei prodotti migliori esistenti sul mercato come materiali, sia a livello di durata, resistenza meccanica, resistenza all’umidità, massa, sfasamento termico, ha un ottimo comportamento al fuoco, ed è inoltre adatto sia per nuove costruzioni in muratura e in legno.
Il sistema include:

• i pannelli Betontherm styr XPS che hanno lo strato in cementolegno, che costituisce lo strato rigido più esterno sul quale è possibile applicare la finitura desiderata. Questo pannello è fornito già accoppiato con il materiale isolante ed è fresato sia sui bordi esterni che sui punti di fissaggio per l'alloggio dei tasselli. La fresatura di bordo consente di armare le giunture tra i pannelli prima della rasatura, con la stesura di un nastro di vetro, adesivizzato su un lato, in modo da prevenire la formazione di microfessurazioni nei casi di assestamento dell'edificio;
• tasselli BetonFix dotati di tappo di protezione anti-ponte termico;
• rete e accessori;
• collanti, rasanti e prodotti di finitura.

Entrambi i materiali sono di ottima qualità, lavorati con le tecnologie più avanzate, sottoposti a severi controlli di processo, marchiati CE.


The cement bonded particle board has so many advantages, including:

The extruded polystyrene XPS panels are characterized by:

• good compression resistance;
• lightness;
• opening to the diffusion of water vapor, which contributes to the construction of breathable buildings with high comfort;
• very effective protection against the summer heat, due to the remarkable intrinsic insulating properties;
• high capacity to absorb ambient humidity, which constitutes a natural hygrometric regulator system;
• quality guarantee, thanks to continuous checks and tests carried out according to the European standards in force.

• the delivery of the material is normally carried out by lorries, considering the high mass of the pallets it is advisable for the recipient to have suitable equipment and mechanical lifting means with a minimum capacity of 35/40 quintals for unloading the goods;
• it is advisable to deposit the boards overlapping them one on top of the other and in order to keep them in a horizontal position, with square section supports and a minimum spacing of 80 cm;
• the transport of the single slabs must be done by cutting, never horizontally;
• avoid direct exposure to sunlight and adequately cover the material to avoid excessive accumulation of dust;
• the pallets are equipped with an upper protective plate, which must be repositioned each time above the other boards and ballasted at the top to avoid distortion of the plates below it.
