THERMAL WOOD

Beech plywood panel with cork lightening insert and electric heating element.
It finds use in railway or shipbuilding as a structural walking element.
Supported by special elastic elements, it forms a floating system suitable for damping vibrations.
Its electrical resistance inserted between the wooden layers provides ideal thermal comfort in terms of both temperature distribution and energy efficiency.

Advantages over aluminum:

• Greater sound insulation (for the same thickness)
• Does not transmit vibrations
• Greater flexibility of modification (possible adjustments during installation and assembly)
• The bonding process is less critical
• More flexible, Better fatigue resistance
• Is electrically insulated
• More economical

Disadvantages compared with aluminum:

• Greater weight
• Not recyclable
