Identification

Thermedia 0.45 is a Holcim solution for constructing residential and utility, multi-storey buildings in cities. It combines the structural and insulation properties to construct faster and to fulfill strict thermal regulations. It was solely designed to eliminate thermal bridges between facades, floors and splits (reduction of more than 40%) in the case of thermal insulation from the inside (ITI). Thermedia 0.45 allows replacing traditional construction with thermal brakes to reduce the overall cost and complexity of construction, requires regular formwork and can be placed with minimum energy.
