Rectosten rEPS: recycled interjoists for sustainable, low-carbon floors

Rector believes that the future of construction lies in more sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions. This is why the brand has developed the Rectosten rEPS, an innovative interjoist made from 95% recycled polystyrene beads, notably from the deconstruction or recycling of household appliances.

Rectosten rEPS is not only an ecological interlocking block, it is also a high-performance interlocking block! Suitable for individual house construction sites but also for collective housing and public buildings, Rectosten rEPS interlocking blocks offer a level of quality and thermal performance identical to traditional polystyrene interlocking blocks while considerably reducing the carbon footprint of lower floors.

A significant carbon gain

Initially available in UP 23, 19 and 15, and cleverly combined with Rector's optimized beams, Rectosten rEPS displays a carbon gain of 9,15kg/m² eq CO² on the floor*, which allows us to calmly consider the next RE2020 thresholds.

* For a 95 m² low floor intended for an individual house, the carbon footprint of the masonry superstructure decreases by approximately 10%, which corresponds to a reduction in the carbon weight of the floor of 9,15 kg/m2 eq CO2.

In addition, to further minimize your environmental impact, Rector offers you an optimized installation plan for each project. In this way, you can take advantage of Rector's expertise to create a parquet layout and thus avoid overconsumption and unnecessary waste.
