TECHNICAL INFORMATION SHEET 2

THERMAL INSULATION
METHODOLOGY
Thermal resistance determined by calculation undertaken in accordance with BS EN ISO 6946:1997, with
bubbles approximated to cubic shape with same area and aspect ratio in accordance with this standard.
Calculations independently undertaken by Jersey Energy, Services and Energy Consultants
COMPARISON WITH SOLID SLABS
While BubbleDeck slabs are not designed to provide thermal insulation due to encapsulation of the air
bubbles within the centre of the concrete slab BubbleDeck achieves between 17% to 39% higher thermal
resistance than an equivalent solid slab of the same depth. BubbleDeck slabs can therefore make a useful
contribution towards the thermal insulation achieved by the overall construction.

CONDENSATION RISK
Designers attention is drawn to the fact that non-insulated concrete slabs forming part of the external building
envelope can produce cold surfaces where certain conditions, dependant upon the relative humidity and dew
point, may result in formation of condensation. It is recommended a condensation risk analysis is undertaken
where BubbleDeck slabs form part of the external building envelope.
BubbleDeck C.I. Ltd. can undertake this analysis upon request and being given full details of the overall
construction materials and thickness specification.
