Dobeles panelis  Company Profile 

Dobeles panelis is a product group manufactured by SIA Tenapors, specializing in innovative and sustainable construction solutions for building thermal insulation. These solutions primarily focus on permanent formwork systems designed to enhance energy efficiency, comfort, ease of installation, and cost savings in construction. The company, originating from Dobele, Latvia, was a pioneer in successfully implementing these systems in the region.

**Key Points and Details:**

* **Core Business:** Dobeles panelis offers construction solutions for foundations, load-bearing walls, ceiling and roof forms, and non-load-bearing partitions, all featuring integrated thermal insulation.

* **Product Categories:**

* **Foundation Systems:** This includes insulated strip foundation forms (DP-S) that combine an EPS insulation layer, permanent formwork, and a steel reinforcement cage, as well as slab-on-grade foundation systems using TENAPORS L EPS elements for small residential buildings. They also provide foundation footing forms (DP-PP) for stable strip foundation footings.

* **Insulated Concrete Walls:** The load-bearing wall system utilizes expanded polystyrene (EPS) slabs joined by steel reinforcement, where the EPS serves as insulation after concrete casting.

* **Insulated Concrete Floor and Ceiling Systems:** These self-bearing elements consist of expanded polystyrene blocks with embedded metal profiles for constructing ceilings and roofs, and foam polystyrene boards (TENAPORS TERMO COMPACT) for water heating systems in floors, designed for easy installation of heating pipes.

* **Partition Wall Panels:** Dobeles panelis offers a partition system, under the recognizable brand, made from high-strength polystyrene foam and embedded U-profiles, aiming to simplify and speed up construction.

* **Advantages of the System:**

* **Efficiency and Cost Savings:** The systems enable faster and more efficient construction compared to traditional methods, leading to reduced labor and equipment requirements, as no cranes or lifts are typically needed for low-storied buildings.

* **Integrated Insulation:** The products provide a load-bearing structure and thermal insulation in a single step, maximizing energy efficiency and reducing heating costs.

* **Quality and Ease of Use:** Elements are factory-made and precise, coming with layouts and installation instructions to minimize on-site mistakes. The mounting process is designed to be simple, even for those without prior extensive knowledge.

* **Durability and Performance:** The systems offer high resistance to ground sedimentation and deformation, along with excellent thermal technical properties, including a low heat conducting coefficient for the EPS foam (0.034 W/mK) and low water absorption. Concrete casting can even be performed at negative temperatures without heating the concrete due to the excellent insulation.

* **Manufacturer:** Dobeles panelis is a product group under SIA Tenapors, which is part of the TENAX group, a significant producer of industrial chemicals, construction sealants, sandwich panels, and insulation materials in the Baltic States. The company has a history dating back to 1991, with continuous development in insulation and reinforced structures.
