AEROFLOOR is a competitively priced high on the ratio P/A of the exposed perimeter (P)
performance expanded polystyrene insulating panel to the area (A) of the exposed floor. Part L
with excellent thermal insulation properties. of the Building Regulations requires that
As in all of Aerobord’s Insulation panels, Air as the the U-value of exposed floors must

AEROFLOOR panels are ideally suited to underfloor
heating applications and do not require a separating
layer when concrete is being placed.
