Thermomass System CIP

When cast into a concrete wall, integral insulation allows the layers of concrete to be left exposed or finished in a variety of methods

Thermomass System CIP is a patented insulation system designed to create an integrally insulated cast-in-place concrete wall. The system is unique in that it allows a concrete contractor to incorporate a layer of insulation into a vertically cast concrete wall using traditional forming equipment and construction practices.

  • Thermomass System CIP generally utilizes either Thermomass SL Series or Thermomass TL Series connectors that not only tie the two layers of concrete together, but also act as a positioning device for the insulation. This system allows the designer the flexibility to have varying thicknesses of concrete on the interior and exterior wall.
  • When cast into a concrete wall, the insulation allows the layers of concrete to be left exposed or finished in a variety of methods. This is great for above – and below-grade construction, when the location and treatment of insulation is traditionally a challenge, especially when in contact with soil in exterior application.
  • Thermomass System CIP was the first system developed by Thermomass in 1980. The first project was a nine-story apartment building in Minnesota.
