EUROPEAN LEADER FOR OVER 30 YEARS Happy to live in Happy to invest in TOP CLASS thermal and acoustic insulation, fire resistance, seismic safety and green building

Cement-bonded wood fibre formwork blocks have been used successfully in Northern Europe for over 70 years, especially in Germany, where we acquired the ISOTEX® technology and where over 400,000 homes have been built. ISOTEX Srl has been offering its building system in Italy since 1985. To date, about 80,000 homes have been built. ISOTEX® cement-bonded wood fibre formwork blocks and floor slabs ensure a complete and uniform construction technology. Advantages ISOTEX® is an anti-seismic structure, resistant to fire, with reduced energy consumption both in summer and in winter, excellent...

ENERGY SAVINGS: perfect insulation without waste It is important to specify that the outer envelope accounts for 80% of a building’s energy savings , therefore Isotex has developed its own building system that completely eliminates thermal and acoustic bridges. One aspect not to be overlooked is that Italy is made up of very different climate zones, with varying temperature and humidity conditions, so it is important to choose the block most suitable for each location. Our technicians will be at your complete disposal for any kind of advice. In terms of thermal requirements, house are...

ACOUSTIC INSULATION no more worrying about bothering others or being bothered yourself A house built with the ISOTEX® System lets you block out those bothersome noises coming both from outside and neighbouring houses, allowing you to enjoy peace and quiet. Thanks to the combination of wood-cement and concrete, we can make walls and floors capable of “breaking” the acoustic wave, therefore with ISOTEX® there is no more worrying about bothering others or being bothered yourself. Furthermore, ISOTEX® floors are able to considerably attenuate the annoying noises produced by people walking in...

GREEN BUILDING and eco-sustainability Isotex pays a great deal of attention to protecting the environment and choosing natural and high-quality raw materials: pure Portland cement, untreated spruce wood, iron oxide and a natural mineral for the wood mineralisation process. All the materials are harmless to human health. Bologna, 27 February 2019 To: Isotex Srl Via D’Este 5/7 42028 Poviglio (RE) SUBJECT: Measurement of radioactivity concentration. Test report no. 2019-208-G With reference to previous agreements, please find attached the test report relating to the radioactivity measurements...

THE BUILDING SYSTEM stronger than an earthquake The structure ISOTEX® load-bearing structure is made up of slabs and formwork blocks in wood-cement which are filled with concrete, to which a horizontal and vertical reinforcement is always inserted that connects the foundation to the edges of the floors up to the roof so as to obtain a solid reinforced structure. The building created is the best possible in terms of strength and compactness, in actual fact, 4 pillars are made every metre compared to 1 pillar every 4 metres with traditional structures. The Ministry of Public Works has issued...

FIRE RESISTANCE: the safety you are looking for Fire resistance is a very important aspect for buildings, as required by current legislation (NTC 2018), to be taken into serious consideration during the design phase and when buying a house. ISOTEX® offers maximum safety also in terms of fire resistance as the wood undergoes a natural mineralisation process that makes it inert and therefore resistant to fire, mould and wood-destroying pests. The structure built with ISOTEX® has obtained REI 120 certification for the Blocks and REI 240 for the Slabs. Both tests were carried out without...

CONSTRUCTION SYSTEMS compared As explained above in the preceding pages, ISOTEX has applied all the principles of safety and living comfort to develop its building system, which is certified in all aspects according to applicable regulations in Italy and Europe. We invite technicians, builders and buyers to compare ISOTEX with other building systems, on which we make some brief remarks below: Structural frames & non-load-bearing walls: Insulated Concrete Formwork (I.C.F.): Pillars and beams have been widely used over the last few decades. The realization of the structural frame then...

USEFUL tips Transpiration and plasters The best solution for your health. The ISOTEX® building system promotes excellent transpiration of the walls, avoiding the formation of condensation and mould, even in rooms with high levels of steam/vapour such as bathrooms, kitchens and bedrooms. Nowadays, doors and windows of homes are well-insulated and watertight, therefore, if there is no mechanical ventilation, it is suggested to properly air rooms and avoid furnishing the house until the plaster and paint has dried out. Fixings & Fastenings For wall-mounted furniture or units of a considerable...
