The Thermocushion is a foldable insulation material which encloses air inside airtight compartments. Double sided tape is applied to the ends to close off the cushions. This way the surface inside cannot become dusty and the high insulation capacity will be preserved. Thermocushions are used to insulate floors and roofs , bathtubs and are excellent for the insulation of prefabricated and new buildings. Attachment is made with rawlplugs in the case of concrete/stone or with staples in the case of wood. The cushions are available in two different types and in several different widths. Thermocushions are supplied in widths which will suit every application. The Thermocushion with three air layers adds to wooden and concrete floors a extra R=value of 3.80 sq m K/W (U=0,25 W/sq mK) and weighs only 60 g/sq m. The Thermocushion received the best rating possible and was quoted to be the "best buy" in the Dutch Consumer guide. When handling this material no fibre, dust, gasses or other substances are given off. This light material is pleasant to work with overhead or in cramped spaces. There are no health and safety implications to using it. When a property is demolished, TONZON insulation materials create very little waste and can (as granulated mono material) be reused or (with little cost) be dumped or burned.
A well insulated floor provides a comfortable, healthy lifestyle and conserves energy. The better a floor is insulated the warmer the floor surface stays, preventing that awful feeling of cold feet. Even with a lower air temperature a well insulated floor gives much more sense of warmth and comfort which saves on energy.

A warm floor is drier reducing the likelihood of mould and or wood rot. The presence of house dust mites (which can cause Asthma) in floor coverings reduces significantly when the floor is properly insulated, as has been scientifically proven . (University for Agriculture in Wageningen).
In a ventilated basement the TONZON Thermocushions stay dry provided that the soil is covered with TONZON Ground Foil which prevents moisture evaporation. This is unique because other insulation materials still get wet even with the soil covered, causing nasty consequences especially with wood. For insulation of wooden floors TONZON provides Thermocushions with three air layers, which TNO has certificated to have an insulation value Rd=3.80 sq m K/W which is extremely high.
Perfect Fitting: TONZON Thermocushions fit perfectly from beam to beam and from wall to wall. Every area can be insulated without any seam or gap.
Ensuring a correct fit will not result in any loss or wastage of material.
