Insul-Tarp® In-slab Ground Insulation

Insulation for Concrete Slab Applications

Insul-Tarp® is the trusted insulation technology for the construction industry today. The patented design is optimized for ground and concrete slab insulation for radiant heating systems. It is lightweight, uses closed-cell foam and reflective technology with a durable poly coating, all within three thin layers.

The poly coating makes the Insul-Tarp resistant to damaging surfaces and 100 percent impermeable to moisture. Insul-Tarp is especially designed for use with radiant heating systems in residential, commercial and agricultural applications to prevent loss of heat into the ground, forcing the heat upward to make the system more efficient. Using the right products is the first step towards high quality, longevity, and highly-efficient radiant heating.

Insul-Tarp provides excellent thermal performance and a vapor barrier specifically for the use in under-slab applications. Unlike the use of a foam board insulator, Insul-Tarp will not drop to ground temperature, which can cause heat to drain from the radiant cables and slab. Because of the innovative combination of insulation layers and aluminum, Insul-Tarp will provide consistent insulation that allows the slab to reach the desired temperature quicker, making your system perform more efficiently.

Insul-Tarp's innovative combination of layers enable it to effectively control all three modes of heat transfer: conduction, convection and radiation. In a heated slab, Insul-Tarp improves the performance of the radiant heating system and provides higher slab temperature output.

Heat small, select areas: Rather than installing radiant heat to warm the entire driveway surface, install the snow melting system in a pair of 24-inch wide tire tracks on your driveway. Special custom-sized radiant heating systems can be installed to heat disability ramps, stairways, patios and walkways, dog runs and kennels, etc. The applications of electric radiant heat are virtually unlimited.

CUSTOMER COMMENTS

Insul-Tarp ground insulation installed for a residential floor heating system.

"We have had Insul-Tarp as part of our product line for about one year. It has quickly become one of our fastest selling products. In most cases, we combine the product as part of a radiant heating system package. We find it to be the best alternative to rigid foam board since it can be installed in one tenth of the time. The cost savings to the customer is substantial since the product cost per square foot is close to rigid foam."
