The First Step to a Successful Radiant Heat System is Insul-Tarp

You find yourself with a unique opportunity. You’ve been hired to work on a large project from the ground up. The major specification in the beginning is that the customer wants radiant heated floors . The project is being built in a cold climate where snow and freezing ground are a hazard. Your first order of business will be to find and install the proper ground insulation. Radiant floor heat insulation is vital to any ground cover where radiant heat will be used above. Insul-Tarp is the newest insulation technology on the market today. The patented design is ideal for ground insulation specifically in conjunction with radiant heating systems.

Ground insulation for radiant heated floor.Insul-Tarp ground insulation is lightweight and uses closed cell foam technology with a durable poly-coating. Insul-Tarp packs all of this innovation into three thin layers. Thanks to the poly-coating Insul-Tarp is protected from harsh surfaces and 100 percent protected from moisture. A critical area when thinking of snow and ice. Using the right radiant barrier is the first step to a successful long lasting radiant heating system. When a project calls for radiant heat flooring you can save the day by installing the best ground insulation on the market today. Insul-Tarp offers excellent thermal performance and a vapor barrier that will assure proper insulation for the efficient radiant heating systems laid above.

Have Confidence in Fully Tested Ground Insulation

Warmzone doesn’t back or sell products it doesn’t believe in. When it comes to state of the art ground insulation, no corners were shaved and no short cuts taken. Insul-Tarp is the favored radiant barrier used in construction projects as the in-slab insulation choice. This choice is with good reason. Insul-Tarp is constructed of high quality materials and uses unique features to achieve proper ground insulation.

Insul-Tarp ground insulationInsul-Tarp ground insulation features cross-woven polyethylene, high density closed-cell foam and polyethylene bubble, and two layers of reflective aluminum. The average thermal resistance, or tested R-Value for Insul-Tarp is R-7.5 and was tested in accordance with ASTM C518. Having confidence in the radiant heat insulation you are installing is important to any project. When calculating heat loads for radiant heating systems, a performance equivalent of R-10 can be used. This is not a test R-value, yet laboratory tests suggest and support this number as the reasonable gauge for measuring performance.

When tried and true products matter to you in your projects, it is a safe bet to turn to Warmzone. Finding solid and reliable ground insulation in Insul-Tarp is one part of your project you won’t have to worry over. The physical properties of Insul-Tarp ground insulation speak for themselves.
