Conservatories
A conservatory floor is an important construction element and incorporating insulation is vital. All year-round use of the conservatory will be enhanced by installing Styrofloor®.
Styrofloor® should be installed on a dry concrete or beam and block base without a screed.
Styrofloor® is a floating floor and expansion gaps must be provided around the perimeter. Floor coverings such as tiles, carpet and laminate flooring are all compatible with Styrofloor®.
