Thermotec Walltherm / Rooftherm
Thermotec Walltherm/Rooftherm is a semi-rigid insulation consisting of fire retardant, low density, closed cell polyethylene foam. This product is particularly suited as an under or over roof membrane insulation. It does not break like styrene foam products and can take the weight of ballast or pavers if the roof area is also subject to pedestrian traffic.
Thermotec Walltherm/Rooftherm is for vertical and horizontal applications and can be easily cut and shaped to suit a variety of geometries. This product is suitable for use in all buildings and is Green Star compliant.
Product Dimension (Standard)
- Thickness: 25mm & 50mm *Both thicknesses come with either foil face or plain finish
- Width: 1m
- Length: 2m
Benefits to the end user and specifier of using Thermotec Rooftherm and Walltherm
- Completely free from all synthetic mineral fibres (SMFs) and therefore no special clothing including respirators is required.
- User friendly and completely safe to handle.
- While Rooftherm is fire retardant, in the event of ignition gases released are non-toxic: i.e. NO carbon monoxide or hydrogen cyanide.
- No filtration problems caused by fibrous dust particle release, the likes of which may in turn cause jamming in filter sand valves.
- Less load on fixing pins, thus reduced likelihood of product coming loose from fixings due to sagging induced strain loads.
- Will take pedestrian traffic if installed under pavers.
- Where access is required for services, the product is easily cut with a sharp knife and does not tear, rip or splinter.
- Polyethylene foam is not rigid or brittle and therefore will not crack or snap when being handled or transported.
- Rooftherm is economical, as there is low wastage due to the variety of sizes available, and is ideal where tight roof levels exist as there is no necessity to alter roof levels.
- A range of thicknesses available to meet required ‘R’ values.
- Fully recyclable.
- Green Star compliant product.
Suggested Installation Method for Rooftherm & Walltherm
- A minimum of five pins per sheet shall be used, preferably two at each end and one in the centre.
- All insulation shall be installed with the edges and ends tightly butted together.Where necessary, the insulation may be easily cut using a sharp knife.

Case Study
The $1.76B Gold Coast University Hospital is the largest ever public health infrastructure project to be built in Australia. This is a new 750 bed facility which will provide new and expanded health services to the region. Thermotec NuWrap 5™ Acoustic Pipe Insulation was specified and used on all waste services and associated pipework where noise reduction was required.
Latest News
Thermotec has a new product now available. MAXFLEX TAPE is made from EPDM insulating foam sheet and specially coated with selected acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive to ensure good tacking strength and long service life. It is closed cell, lightweight, having stable and low thermal conductivity value which serves the insulating purpose in retarding heat loss, heat gain and condensation protection.
MAXFLEX TAPE is made from the same elastomeric material as E-flex/MAXFLEX. It is ideal for ease and quick installation. Just simply wrap onto the hot or cold pipes, or pipe fittings. The tape will adhere firmly to all metals without delamination problem. For more information Click Here.
