Termex Zero -structure
Structures that function in terms of humidity and heat
Termex Zero – an energy-saving and safe wooden construction concept
The Termex Zero structure family is a test-proved, energy-saving and safe structural solution in which wood plays the main role. As a wood-based, breathable material, Termex Cellulose insulation enables functional structures in terms of humidity and temperature. It evens out the structure’s humidity and temperature fluctuations and reduces the moisture stress on the frame’s wooden elements.
The thermal conductivity of Termex Zero structures is very low, which leads to excellent energy efficiency of the structures.
Termex Zero is good construction quality
The Termex Zero structures used in walls and flat roofs meet the energy efficiency requirements of a zero-energy house (the U-value requirement according to §33 of the energy efficiency regulation is 0.12 for walls, 0.07 for roofs). The Termex Zero structure is based on both I-beam and lattice frame construction. There are no thermal bridges in the wall. The Termex Cellulose insulation used in the structure is a moisture-balancing wood fibre-based cellulose insulation, which enables functioning structures in terms of building physics.
Tens of projects have already been implemented with Termex Zero structures in Finland, including the following housing exhibition destinations:
- 2012 “Tervakukka” and “Ruislaine” in Vuores, Tampere;
- 2015 “Verso” in Kivistö, Vantaa;
- 2016 “Nuuka” in Seinäjoki.
Termex Zero structure solutions
No risk of moisture (airtight, breathable structures)
Better energy efficiency (passive house)
Better indoor air quality (controlled ventilation)
Better living comfort (draft-free, even temperature, quiet)
