Under-tile thermal insulation in Kuwait - Sharq

Under-tile thermal insulation in Sharq

Under-tile thermal insulation in Sharq stops heat transfer from the floor before it reaches the storey above. We assess the concrete substrate, install thermal insulation boards and build up to finished tile level. This thermal break is essential in residential and mixed-use towers to reduce heat gain from exposed slab surfaces.

What sets this area apart

Sharq comprises tall residential towers and mixed commercial buildings with glazed facades and sun-exposed floor slabs, raising heat gain through the floors. Each storey requires careful inspection of the concrete substrate and fine cracks that may transmit both moisture and heat together. Thermal insulation boards (foam or mineral wool) are installed directly on the cleaned surface, with a vapour barrier underneath to prevent moisture pooling between layers. We then pour a levelling screed of uniform thickness before tile-setting, accounting for final floor height to align with door frames and fixtures.

Sharq is located in Capital governorate, where tall residential towers and office buildings cluster near Kuwait Towers and the Gulf waterfront.

Sun-exposed floor slabs in residential towers require concrete moisture testing before thermal insulation board installation.

Questions about Under-tile thermal insulation in Sharq

Call now
Is under-tile thermal insulation important in tall residential towers?

Yes, sun-exposed floors in towers absorb significant heat. Thermal insulation reduces heat transmission to the storey above and lessens the cooling load on the air-conditioning system measurably.

How do you manage moisture between the insulation boards and the concrete substrate?

We place a vapour barrier directly under the insulation boards on clean, dry concrete. This prevents moisture accumulation between layers, which is essential for the durability of both the insulation and the tile finish.
