• energystore TLA®

Company background

energystore has manufactured and supplied expanded polystyrene (EPs) insulation

products to the construction industries in the uK and Ireland for over 40 years.

our product ranges are available for distribution from our five manufacturing sites in

the uK and Ireland.

• energystore’s five

manufacturing bases

energystore TLA is an ultra lightweight, fast drying, thermally insulating Bound EPS (BEPS) that consists of liquid coated EPS, cement and water in accordance with BS EN 16025.

This manual covers the unique properties of

energystore TLA , its applications and guidance

for its use.

Product certification

All energystore products are produced in

accredited ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS

18001 manufacturing environments to ensure a

consistently high quality of output. energystore

EPS products are subject to rigorous quality

checks.

The product range also

has KIWA BDA and

NSAI Agrements

(cavity wall insulation

products only).

4 EnErgysTorE TLA • TECHnICAL mAnuAL

The combination of EPS beads and cement creates a

lightweight fresh mortar that has exceptional thermal,

weight and acoustic properties. This makes

energystore TLA the ideal solution for many

applications.

The product is also registered under the LABC

Assured Programme with certificate number

EWS1132.EnErgysTorE TLA • TECHnICAL mAnuAL 5

Why is energystore TLA so unique?The key ingredient in energystore TLA is a special

additive developed by Edilteco® called EIA.

When EIA is applied to EPS beads it ensures the EPS

beads mix perfectly with cement and water. Without the

EIA technology, the EPS beads – which are much lighter

than cement – float to the top of the mix before it hardens.

Adding EIA resolves this problem and a homogeneous mix

with a high thermal insulation level and consistent quality is

achieved.

Factory quality controlFactory quality control is in place to ensure the

size and density of all bead products match

required specifications and that installers’

equipment operates in accordance with

energystore’s technical manual.

Introducing energystore TLA

energystore TLA has been developed using the innovative Politerm® Blu

technology created by Edilteco®. Politerm® Blu was created in 1981 and is now

successfully established in over 40 countries worldwide via Edilteco’s franchise

network.

In 2018, energystore became the exclusive manufacturer of Politerm® Blu products

for the uK and Ireland. since then we have been able to combine the excellent

thermal properties of superbead with Politerm® Blu to create energystore TLA.

Accreditationsenergystore TLA® is tested against BS EN 16025-1:2013 and is accredited under GSH with certificate number 784-2 and subject to the RAL quality scheme.

energystore TLA®

Product description:A lightweight thermal insulating bound EPS product, made using energystore TLA® and

poured by skilled installers using the base layer

method for laying beneath sand and cement

screeds, sand anhydrite or premixed screeds.

Intended use:ground bearing floor slabs on adequately

compacted hardcore/sub-base flat roofing – with

or without falls – void filling and intermediate

floors on corrugated steel sheeting etc.

minimum application thickness: 50mm

Procedure for thicknesses of less than 50mm:• Thicknesses between 30mm and 50mm on well

consolidated surfaces (eg with electrical conduit

and/or pipes securely haunched with cement

mortar) on well consolidated surfaces are acceptable.

For thicknesses between 10mm and 30mm:

• Add approx. 200kg/m³ of aggregate with a

maximum grain size of 0.6mm (mixed manually)

and include an electro-welded metal mesh

(2mm diameter) to the mix of cement and

energystore TLA®.

When installing energystore TLA® over existing concrete slabs, concrete beam decks and compacted

hardcore sub-base etc, the job can be completed

without using an electro-welded mesh in the pour.

However, if the receiving surface comprises insulation

boards, a bituminous and/or synthetic waterproofing

layer, tiled floors or corrugated steel sheet etc, sheets

of electro-welded lath (minimum dimensions: wire

2mm diameter and mesh 50 x 50mm) need to be

included – appropriately tied and spaced from the

laying surface – before the energystore TLA® screed is poured.


Intermediate Layer ApplicationFor use beneath self-levelling screeds and underfloor

heating systems (UFH).

Minimum thickness for installation of energystore TLA® is 50mm.

For use beneath self-levelling screeds1. The specific characteristics (low water absorption)

of energystore TLA®, when correctly mixed and

installed as per the manufacturer’s instructions, make

the use of a waterproof layer between the energystore

TLA® and the self-levelling screed unnecessary.

2. When energystore TLA® is to be placed directly on

the ground or in situations where damp conditions

may occur beneath the energystore TLA®, it will be

necessary to install a damp-proof membrane (DPM). In

certain circumstances it may be necessary to

incorporate a vapour control layer (VCL)

between the energystore TLA® and the self-levelling screed.

3. With static structures such as roofs, it is necessary

to install a separating layer between the energystore

TLA® and the self-levelling screed.

4. The thickness of the self-levelling screed placed

over the energystore TLA® should comply with the

recommendations of the manufacturers of the self-

levelling screed.

When laying energystore TLA® over existing concrete

slabs, concrete beam decks and compacted hardcore

sub-bases etc, it can be done without using an

electro-welded mesh in the pour.

If the receiving surface comprises insulation boards, a

bituminous and/or synthetic waterproofing layer, tiled

floors or corrugated steel sheet etc, sheets of

electro-welded lath (minimum dimensions: wire 2mm

diameter and mesh 50 x 50mm) need to be included –

appropriately tied and spaced from the laying surface –

before pouring energystore TLA® screed.


on-site installation: flooring (cont.)

site preparation & installation of energystore TLA®

• All levels should be accurately measured and

set prior to installation.

• Thoroughly clean the receiving surface before

laying the energystore TLA®.

• moisten the floor when laying on a porous or

cementitious existing floor after cleaning the

surface and before laying the energystore TLA®.

nB: Do not wet the surface when laying on a

non-porous or waterproof surface like plastic

sheeting over insulation boards, waterproof

layers or tiled floors.

• Existing structural joints and/or expansion

joints in the receiving surface must be

maintained and extended up through the

energystore TLA®.

• When required, day joints in the energystore

TLA® should be cast vertically.

• At temperatures below 5°C it is possible to use

antifreeze additives with energystore TLA®. It is

minimum thicknesses of energystore TLA® on ABsorBEnTsurFACEs: 50mm

If there are pipes or conduits present on the receiving

surface, then the 50mm minimum applies to the

thickness above the highest level of those pipes or

conduits.

This thickness must be increased to 100mm where

there are separating layers eg damp-proof membranes

(DPM), vapour control layers (VCL) or slip sheets that

debond the energystore TLA® from the existing slab.

Additionally, it is necessary to place galvanized

reinforcing mesh sheets (minimum dimensions: thread

2mm diameter and mesh 50 x 50mm) – properly tied

together and appropriately spaced – within the

lightweight energystore TLA®.

For advice on thicknesses less than those

recommended above, please contact our

technical team on tel: 0800 085 6687.

minimum thicknesses of energystore TLA® onnon-ABsorBEnT surFACEs:The minimum thickness of energystore TLA® on

non-absorbent surfaces of 50mm is suitable for the

following surfaces only:

• Existing floor finishes comprising ceramic tiles,

marble or similar, having first been treated.

• Existing bituminous waterproof coating having first

been treated.

surface preparation requires ...

1. Surface cleaning to remove all demolition waste,

wax, dust, particles and any other material that might

prevent a good bond between the existing floor

surface and the new screed.

2. Application of a suitable adhesion promoter used in

accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations.

3. After drying (minimum 24 hours) energystore TLA®

can be laid with a minimum density of 300kg/m³.

NB: For any other non-absorbent surfaces the

minimum thickness of screed layer is 100mm.

Before laying the lightweight thermal insulating

energystore TLA® layer, install galvanised reinforcing

mesh sheets (minimum dimensions:

thread 3mm diameter and mesh 50 x 50mm) tied

together and spaced from the base.

To achieve a flat surface suitable for laying ceramic tiles

or marble on an energystore TLA®, it is necessary to

place screed rails before the mixing begins. These are

made of PVC, are 50mm high and remain in the screed

once it has cured and dried.

The screed rails must be set upon the existing floor

surface and levelled and packed up with mortar as

required to ensure that the top of the rail is at the

desired finished level of the energystore TLA®. It isrecommended that the distance between screed rails

should not exceed 2.5m.

To discuss other suitable alternatives please

contact our technical team on tel: 0800 085 6687.

Once the screed rails are set in position the energystore

TLA® can be poured between them, spread and then

levelled using a straight edge blade pulled over the top

edge of the screed rails.

After 72 hours the energystore TLA®

surface can be prepared for tiling by:1. Surface abrasion using equipment to remove any

imperfections caused by the straight edge.

2. On areas of the floor that a floor sander cannot

reach, eg the perimeter, it is necessary to prepare the

area with a scraping knife or similar tool.

3. Surface cleaning to remove dust, particles and any

other material that might prevent a good bond between

the new floor screed surface and next layer.

4. Check the finished level and flatness of the

energystore TLA® using a one-metre straight edge.

Complete layer applicationApplying energystore TLA® above structural bases with floor finishings applied directly on top. For complete layer applications, the energystore TLA® must be laid with a minimum cement content of 300kg/m³.

5. Additional preparation work carried out by the

contractor: remove swirls in energystore TLA®

created by polishing by melting the surface

polystyrene beads using an LPG roofing gas torch.

This must not be done until seven days after the

energystore TLA® has been laid.

If so desired, an initial nominal protection of the

energystore TLA® base can be employed by using

a thin (2mm) protective smoothing mortar or

premixed self-levelled smoothing mortar.

Warnings & precautions

• When laying energystore TLA®, any existing

structural joints and/or expansion joints in the receiving

surface must be maintained and extended up through

the energystore TLA® layer.• If acoustic mats or layers are to be incorporated into

the construction beneath the energystore TLA® and

laid using the single layer method, then these

(acoustic layers) should be installed beneath, not over,

any pipes or conduits avoiding the possibility of

creating air pockets which could have the effect of

lessening the acoustic performance and also the

structural integrity of the energystore TLA®.

• Before laying energystore TLA®, thoroughly clean the

receiving surface.

• After cleaning the receiving surface and before laying

energystore TLA®, wet the floor well but without leaving

puddles.

When laying on a non-porous or waterproof surface,

like plastic sheeting over insulation boards, waterproof

layers or tiled floors, do not wet the surface.

• When required, day joints in the energystore TLA®

should be cast vertically.

• When continuing the pour, the day joints need to be

treated with Edilstik® latex adhesive to be used ‘fresh

on fresh’.

• When adhering final finish surfaces like ceramic tiles

or vinyls, if a smoothing layer is not applied, then the

consumption of adhesive may be 20% greater than

normal. This is due to the open cells that remain after

surface beads have been removed. This does,

however, provide a stronger mechanical bond

between the layers.

• The adhesives must be used strictly in accordance

with the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions.

Installing plasterboard partitionsBefore installing plasterboard partitions directly onto asingle layer energystore TLA®, first apply a smoothing

plaster (thickness 2mm).

The smoothing plaster must cover an area equal to the

width of the floor plates plus 50mm each side.

Subsequently, the floor plates can be installed using

industrial strength double-sided adhesive tape.

• Avoid mixing and laying energystore TLA® when

temperatures are below 5°C.

• Any antifreeze additives used must be compatible

with the physical and chemical properties of

energystore TLA®. The contractor should evaluate

the costs and benefits of using antifreeze additives

on a case-by-case basis.

• When mixing energystore TLA®, follow the exact

dosages and methods indicated in the technical

sheets, the product packaging and in this manual.

metal mesh (2mm wire diameter).

When creating falls, the minimum thickness must not

be less than 50mm.

minimum thicknesses of energystore TLA® on non-ABsorBEnT surFACEs:50mm with galvanised mesh (minimum size: wire 3mm

diameter and mesh 50 x 50mm) at a due distance

from the laying surface.

energystore TLA® can be laid over existing concrete

roofs and beam decks without using an electro-welded

mesh in the pour; however, if the receiving surface

comprises insulation boards, a bituminous and/or

synthetic waterproofing layer, or corrugated steel

sheet, etc., sheets of electro-welded mesh need to be

included (minimum dimensions: wire 2mm diameter

and mesh 50 x 50mm) – appropriately tied and spaced

from the laying surface – before pouring the

energystore TLA®.

Before applying the waterproof finish to energystore TLA® it is necessary to prepare the surface using one

of the two following methods:

1. Abrade the surface using an electric sander fitted

with an abrasive disk and dust extraction.

or alternatively ...

2. Melt the surface polystyrene beads using an LPG

roofing gas torch.

NB: Neither method should be employed within seven

structural ConsiderationsConsideration should be given to the Eurocode

requirements for structural design. Imposed floor

loading requirements may differ from country to

country. The energystore TLA® installed density choice

should be selected to ensure loading design

requirements are met.

Acoustic performanceProjects with separating floors will need to satisfy local

building regulations requirements for impact and

airborne sound performance. energystore TLA® can be

used as part of an effective lightweight acoustic floor

solution reducing the overall structures weight.

moisture control using membranesPreventing moisture spread into the building is an

important design consideration. Using energystore

TLA® does not change the principles for assessing

whether a dampproof membrane should be used to

prevent moisture transfer into the property via outside

elements. Although it is possible to bond a finishing

screed directly to energystore TLA® (subject to screed

manufacturer recommendations) it is good practice to

use a standard vapour control layer (VCL) between an

insulating layer and a finishing screed. As a result, we

recommend using a VCL above energystore TLA®

when the product is being used for insulation.

Installing energystore TLA® whereunderfloor heating is specifiedenergystore TLA® works exceptionally well with UFH

applications due to its insulating properties and

application which reduces voids and thermal bridges

within the insulation.

Design considerations under EN 1264 stipulates that

an insulation layer below the UFH must be used with a

minimum R-value of 0.75.

The table opposite outlines the minimum thickness of

each energystore TLA® density to achieve the 0.75

R-Value requirement.

underfloor Heating (uFH) pipesWhen fixing UFH pipes to energystore TLA® installed at

low densities (below 200kg / m³), it may be necessary

Final considerations ...Consideration should be given to the overall project objectives but the following

observations should prove helpful ...

to use longer fixing clips to ensure a high-quality

installation. Contractors may also want to consider

using a chemical fixing for the clips if the site is going

to experience heavy foot traffic prior to installation of

finishing screed on to the UFH.

Project lead timesenergystore TLA® is a very fast drying cement-based product due to its low water content. Typical full drying

time is 10mm per day under normal conditions. It is

possible to lay finishing screeds on energystore TLA®

once the product is suitable for walking on (24 hours

during summer and between 36 to 48 hours in winter).

specification clauseThe floor insulation should be energystore TLA® XX thick manufactured by energystore Ltd with KIWA Agrement no. BAF-18-042-S-A-UK consisting of bound expanded polystyrene with a cement content of XX kg/m³. energystore TLA® is manufactured in accordance with quality management system ISO

9001 and environmental management system ISO

14001. The floor insulation should be installed in

accordance with BS EN 16025-2

Thermal bridgingAs energystore TLA® is a poured insulation, the product

offers superior thermal bridging performance against

other construction methods. Our technical team can
