Ravago Building Solution’s new high-performance extruded polystyrene (XPS) thermal insulation boards are being used in the construction of Glatthaars‘ Aquasafe basements in Hertfordshire. Glatthaar, specialises in pre-fabricated basements, and used 1500m2 of Ravatherm XPS X 700 SL in the creation of two double lower level constructions incorporating four individual basement units.
Ravatherm XPS X 700 SL is designed for the thermal insulation of basement floors, car park decks, swimming pools and cold store facilities.
