Climate change and the ever increasing price of energy have made it indisputable that fossil fuel energy will need to be drastically decreased if we aim to leave a livable planet to future generations.  One of best ways of decreasing carbon dioxide emissions and lowering energy bills is thermal insulation of buildings.  (Please see our EPS and the Environment page for more details on this topic.)

The 20/20/20 goal of the European Unions states that by 2020, energy usage will be decreased by 20% and of the energy used 20% will be from renewable resources.  The greatest potential for decreasing energy usage by 20% is thermal insulation of buildings. 

In Turkey, the situation is not much different.  As of 2010, 85% of the buildings in Turkey have no insulation at all and the average thickness in insulation is less than half of EU average.  Majority of the energy used is from fossil fuels and is imported.

Atermit recommends EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) as a thermal insulation material.  EPS is economical, has excellent performance and is sustainable.  Recent investments in 3 plants for both block and shape molded thermal insulation products has made Atermit one of the biggest EPS producers in Europe.  

Atermit products are branded under the names Aterpor, Aterboard, Gumus Aterpor and Aterpor Neo.  Atermit also produces EPS thermal insulation boards for various thermal insulation system suppliers under their own brands.
