Transforming Construction: The Evolution and Impact of TLA Technology
Introduction to TLA Technology
Thermal Lightweight Aggregate (TLA) technology isn't a recent innovation; its development dates back to the late 1980s and early 1990s.?
Over the decades, significant advancements have been made in its delivery, manufacture, and application, making it a staple in modern construction projects.
We created EnergyScreed, a brand of ATS.?
It uses the latest patent-pending TLA system to create an environmentally friendly insulation system.
The result is maximum air tightness with effectively zero cold bridges or thermal loss.
Key Features of TLA
TLA is renowned for its strength, flexibility, and thermal performance. It is a pourable, non-combustible insulation that makes it ideal from a passive and air movement perspective.?
We can adjust the thermal and strength characteristics at the touch of a button.?
We also offer a testing service to BS EN 826, where we test the compressive strength of the materials poured on-site—a level of inspection and testing not offered by conventional insulation.
This unique blend makes it ideal for insulating projects from the ground up, including applications in sub-slabs, general flooring, void filling and roofs.?
The product offered by Energystore, one of the UK's and Ireland’s leading providers, exemplifies the best environmentally friendly and energy-efficient solutions.
Superior Insulation with energystore TLA?
energystore's TLA? integrates EPS beads coated in an innovative additive with cement, resulting in a pourable insulation material.?
This formulation has been refined to achieve a joint-free, A2-S1 fire-rated insulation alternative that stands out in the industry.
Advantages of Using TLA in Construction
TLA technology presents multiple benefits, making it a standout choice for construction professionals.
1. Reduced Thermal Bridging
TLA offers a continuous thermal layer without gaps, enhancing Psi-Values and ensuring superior in-life performance.
2. Unmatched Flexibility
The pourable nature of TLA allows it to adapt to any thickness and naturally compensates for any irregularities in the floor slab.
3. Commitment to Sustainability
Our processes now incorporate biofuels, reducing embodied carbon emissions by up to 90%. TLA also provides comprehensive embodied carbon figures for entire floor zones, a feature lacking in many standard insulation materials.
4. Ideal for PassivHaus Projects
TLA ensures flawless installations and provides precise U-value designs and reliable SAP and SBEM calculations, fully adhering to the Passiv standards.
The Role of Titan in Enhancing TLA Delivery
To further enhance the application of TLA, we utilise Titan, a Putzmeister Transmix Truck that is the only one of its kind in Scotland.?
