\nMAGU Floor Slab Insulation \n<\/h2>
\nFor a building to meet the requirements of the new insulation standards, the thermal insulation used must satisfy certain criteria. In addition to the material, quality, and thickness of the thermal insulation, the installation plays a key role. \n<\/div>
\nThe standard method currently used for insulating floor slabs is no longer sufficient or is very time-consuming and therefore uneconomical. Gaps in the insulation occur repeatedly, especially at the edges of floor slabs. These gaps lead to thermal bridges. \n<\/div>
\nThe MAGU thermal insulation and formwork system for floor slabs eliminates thermal bridges by design. It is used in the perimeter area beneath so-called load-bearing foundation slabs. These structurally load-bearing components absorb the dead load of the structure and traffic loads without additional foundations and permanently transfer them into the ground. \n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

\nFormwork and thermal insulation in one step\u2014MAGU floor slab formwork\u2014here's how it's done: \n<\/h2>
\n \n \n\t\n\n\n\n
\nThe MAGU floor panel system consists of corner and side elements that feature a groove. The precisely fitted upstand is pressed into the groove. The upstand is up to three meters long, allowing it to hold the panels together with an overlapping joint.
The surface is simply installed seamlessly using the stepped-fold panels according to the installation plan. All elements are pre-cut according to the existing plans and the installation plan, so that no additional cutting or adjustments are necessary. \n<\/div>\n<\/div>

\nIn accordance with the construction plan, we are creating an installation diagram that uses numbers to make it easy to install the MAGU floor slab tray.

All panels are pre-assembled accordingly and can be connected directly to one another using the three-meter-long upstands. \n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

\nThermal Concrete Core Activation:\n<\/h2>
\nThe MAGU floor slab tray is fully insulated and is therefore ideal for direct thermal activation of building components.

The thermal mass of the solid concrete core can act as a buffer for heating or solar systems, thereby helping to conserve energy and maintain a balanced indoor climate.

The heating circuits are laid directly on top of the structural steel mesh reinforcement, connected to a heating circuit manifold, and filled directly with water.

Filling the pipes not only allows their watertightness to be tested but also ensures that they do not float up within the concrete. \n<\/div>\n<\/div>

\nConcrete Core Activation
\n<\/h3>
\nWhat makes thermal component activation unique is that the heating coils are embedded in concrete within the building components during construction.

Since the heating surfaces in thermal building component activation extend throughout the entire building, the systems operate at flow temperatures ranging from 22 to 28 degrees Celsius.

Because of its high density, concrete is an excellent medium for storing heat and cold.

In office buildings, thermal concrete core activation has therefore long been a proven system for creating appropriate indoor climate conditions. As a result, the building is heated evenly and consistently throughout. \n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>
