Calculating the U-Value and thermal performance of a Sublime® floor

Using the thermal conductivities of the floor components we can calculate the depth of insulation required to achieve a specific U-value (what is a U-value), the Glapor insulation layer has excellent thermal performance with a thermal conductivity (lambda - λ) of 0.083 W/mK and the limecrete has a thermal conductivity of 0.45 W/mK.

To calculate the U-value we will need the following information

• Overall Floor Area (m²)
• Total Exposed Perimeter* (m)
• External Wall Thickness (mm)

* For more details on the exposed perimeter requirement please see our FAQ here.
