Sub-base — medium sand mechanically compacted to Is = 0.97
Use + and − to zoom in or out. You can also rotate the model using the arrow buttons.
Details informed by photographs of one of our projects. This is an illustrative model; services are shown through the layers to make their routes clear.
The white loop shows underfloor heating in the floor screed, above the insulation and foil, not within the structural reinforced-concrete slab. Pipe spacing, thicknesses and routing are illustrative and must be specified for each project.
The services illustrate routing principles, not an installation design. Penetrations, seals and positions require individual design; the image does not indicate drilling locations in the structure.

Why it matters
A house is only as good as its details
The layers of a building element must work as one system.
Thermal insulation is only one factor. Airtightness, moisture control, acoustics, durable joints and protection of the structure are equally important. That is why we select compatible materials and install them in the correct order.
- Compatible STEICO material solutions
- Control of thermal bridges and airtightness
- Specifications suited to each building element
