One advantage with MULTIKAPPAX H5 is that it can be used where you only have a minimum available depth. Installation on site is easy thanks to the coupling system, and it can also be installed on only partially prepared surfaces.

The ultimate expression of this product is as an alternative to floating floors for the distribution of technological plants and systems (electrical lines, waterworks, data connections, etc.) and for ventilated roofs.

The shape and structure is fundamental, not only to support the weight of the screed or pantile, but to provide suitable thermal and acoustic insulation.

Applications

RENOVATION WORK
MULTIKAPPAX H5 is ideal in these situations thanks to its particular honeycomb structure and reduced height.

INSULATION
MULTIKAPPAX H5 is highly recommended for the insulation of floors to be finished with wood or carpet, known to be prone to the problems of humidity, condensate and mould.

LIGHTENING
MULTIKAPPAX H5 lets you reduce the weight of the floor.

Ventilated Roofs

MULTIKAPPAX H5 has also been designed for under tile ventilation, improving living comfort and increasing the life of the covering.

Using MULTIKAPPAX H5 in ventilated roofs:

• Reduces heat transmission and thermal shock both internally and externally, keeping the attic cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
• Eliminates humidity between the tiles and the waterproofing membrane.
• Prevents the formation of condensate, which can reduce the life of the pantile, and penetrate into the ceiling.
• Reduces outdoor environmental noise and noise from meteorological events.
• Lightens the covering, a favourable factor in the case of wooden roofs.

Installation

One particular characteristic of MULTIKAPPAX is how simple it is to install, thanks to the coupling system: once two elements have been connected, they form a stable platform suitable for foot traffic on which you can cast concrete.

• Casting the lean concrete (when renovating the foundations, MULTIKAPPAX H5 can be used as the floor or screed).
• Installation of MULTIKAPPAX H5.
• Installation of distribution plants and systems.
• Laying arc-welded mesh.
• Casting concrete slab.
• Installation of thermal-acoustic insulation layer, if required.
• Casting concrete topping.
• Laying the flooring.

Terminology and links

Radon
Radon is an extremely volatile odour-less and colour-less natural radioactive gas.
It is formed as a result of the radioactive decay of natural uranium, and contaminates the ground (in particular lava, tuff, pozzolana), rock and water to some extent, in which it can be dissolved.
It generally enters buildings through cracks and small holes in cellars and other underground areas.
