Insul-Tarp is the Foundation for Preventing Heat Loss

Floor insulation is an important part of any commercial building project, home building adventure, or remodel. Savvy home buyers or builders are willing to skimp on many items deemed less important or easily forsaken.  One line item they are usually not willing to scrape by on is the heating and cooling of their dwelling. Tell them their budget simply can’t handle the solid gold light fixtures or the hand crafted Italian tile for their kitchen and after coming back to their reality, may see eye to eye with you.  Tell them you no longer can afford to put their heated floors in and their eyes glass over, steam starts coming out of their ears, and the screaming starts. The ultimate comfort of anyone existing within their four-walls is of utmost importance, which includes everything from the in floor heating to the insulation in the ceiling that helps hold that heat in.  Floor insulation builds the very foundation of all things good (and heaven forbid-bad) and with the right insulation can make a good project even better.

Basements seem to be the red-headed step children of heating and cooling. They are always the coldest place in the house, warehouse, or office. Using floor insulation such as Insul-Tarp lays the ground work (no pun intended) for a successful in floor heating project. Any project which calls for heated floors accommodates the need for efficient and easy-to-install floor insulation and Insul-Tarp is specifically designed for use with radiant heating systems in residential, commercial, or agricultural applications to prevent heat loss.

Time is money. Or so they say. That’s why we are always looking for ways to save time, which translates into saved money. There are many types of ground insulation on the market, but many are cumbersome and time consuming to install. Starting from the ground up, as many projects are bound to, the importance of finding proper ground insulation is no small matter. Project managers and home owners anxious to have proper in-floor heating find it critical to properly insulate the ground below.  Until now, that has been an arduous project with intense labor and time constraints. Today there are products on the market that significantly reduce installation times and translate into cost savings for everyone.

Insul-Tarp is a ground breaking replacement for many rigid, less effective in-slab insulations. Not only is it more flexible but it does not require any special or tricky installation preparations. Insul-Tarp is a ground insulation that offers cost saving and labor reducing results since it is ready to go the minute it’s received on-site. Another time saving benefit Insul-Tarp offers is navigating around pipes and other plumbing. Simply cut an “x” in the ground insulation and slide it over the top of the pipe. Voila, time saved=happy project managers and customers!

Comparing Insul-Tarp to Other Ground Insulation

Home builders and buyers today are looking for any edge possible, which incorporates everything from the roof to floor insulation. Insul-Tarp’s patented design offers many key benefits for a cost-effective solution to ground insulation that provides that edge so eagerly needed in today’s market. Insul-Tarp is light-weight floor insulation utilizing three layers. Packed into the three layers you will find closed cell foam and reflective technology with durable poly-coating. The poly-coating makes this floor insulation resistant to damaging surfaces and protects it 100% against moisture.

A unique feature of the Insul-tarp, compared to foam boards, is the ability it has to maintain temperatures above ground temperature protecting the heat from draining from the radiant cables and slab. What this translates to for contractors and home buyers is a radiant heat insulation system that maintains consistent insulation, allowing the desired temperatures to be reached quickly and efficiently. In addition the Insul-tarp is lightweight, flexible and durable offering radiant heat insulation with desired efficiency.

The Insul-tarp can save you money compared to other less-effective in-slab products. This new technology allows installation times to be cut in half compared to conventional ground insulation, as it does not require any special installation requirements. This cuts costs by saving time and reduced labor overhead and cutting costs is an edge everyone can appreciate.
