Case Studies

One placeholder build story, structured Problem → Application → Outcome — ready for the owner to swap in a real pilot project once a ThermaSlab finish application ships on a multifamily or custom-builder scope.

[Project Name Placeholder]
Multifamily Residential · [City, ST] · ~[X,XXX] sq ft first-floor demising wall assembly
Problem
On a [City, ST] multifamily build, the first-floor demising-wall-to-slab transition showed measurable thermal bridging — cold edges at the perimeter, slab-edge heat loss across shared floorplates, and visible condensation on the inside face of the wall framing during shoulder-season mornings. The GC had spec'd a conventional subfloor + hydronic retrofit, which would have added a week of trade coordination and a second panel install pass to address the cold edge.
Application
The crew dropped in the ThermaSlab finish application across the first-floor scope — one panel install replacing the subfloor, hydronic channels, underlayment, and finish surface in a single step. The panel's factory-built R-value and PEX routing eliminate the cold demising-wall edge by design, and the crew hit a single square-up the same week they roughed-in the mechanical room.
Outcome
Cold-start heat-up on the first-floor demising walls landed inside the published window. Crew install time ran [X]–[X] days vs. the comparable conventional subfloor + hydronic + underlayment sequence. The total pulls (panel + hydronic) dropped to [X] vs. [X]–[X] typical for this footprint — no callbacks on the slab-to-wall transition.

The cold edge along the demising wall disappeared the morning the slab came up. We've been building multifamily in [City, ST] for [X] years and this is the first time a single panel pulled both the subfloor and the heat-loop into one step. The crew was off-site a day ahead of the milestone.
