Polyfoam has recently begun supply of it's PolyUnderfoot Hydronic Insulation Panel for extension works at the Melbourne International Airport Terminal.

The panel is made from expanded polystyrene combined with a HIPS film, which is added in the final stages of the moulding process.  Along with its fantastic insulating properties, PolyUnderfoot is a light yet durable product which holds hydronic piping in place over existing base flooring.  A concrete screed is then laid over the panel and pipe.  Climate control is achieved by circulating heated or cooled water through the piping, to help keep a consistently comfortable environment for all international travellers.

Polyfoam worked closely with project builders AE Smith and Son to ensure a quality, locally manufactured product which would achieve an R-value of 1.00 minimum.  The selection of PolyUnderfoot replaces what would probably have been an imported item.

PolyUnderfoot is not visible once installed, does not use up valuable wall space, and is particularly effective in public areas as there are no exposed or sharp surfaces which can be unattractive, as well as dangerous.  Further extension works are expected with PolyUnderfoot in the not too distant future.
