Save Money by Installing Ground Insulation for your Floors

Today’s building industry offers many improved products to increase efficiency of our heating systems. Relatively speaking, it wasn’t too many years ago when many homes were built without any insulation. Then insulation was introduced, and since then there have been constant advancements in insulation technology. Insul-Tarp is one of those advancements. Acting as a barrier for heated floors, Insul-Tarp is a great way to increase the efficiency of your radiant heated floors.

Insul-Tarp installed under floor heating cable.Pretty simple in itself, Insul-Tarp is essentially a reflective surface that goes down underneath the heating system itself. The ground insulation greatly increases the efficiency of a radiant floor heating application. Radiant heated floors are the greatest thing since heat came along, and this ground insulation enhances the efficiency of the floor heating system. The tarp is so beneficial and easy to install that it simply must be a part of any floor heating system. Response times of electric heated floors are greatly improved with Insul-Tarp and heat loss is reduced during the run cycle. Insul-Tarp ground insulation is a must have when installing your under floor heating system.

Increasing Floor Heating Efficiency with Reflected Heat

Warm floors or radiant heated floors are becoming more popular and well known these days. People are catching on to their comfort and efficiency. When installing one of these systems it only makes sense to make it as efficient as you possibly can. Installing heated floor insulation is a major step in accomplishing just that. Insul-tarp is made for the job and it is about as easy to install as it gets.

Simply roll out the Insul-tarp and install your heat cable over that and you have what it takes to make your heated floor beautifully comfortable and energy-efficient. Some of the key benefits of Insul tarp is that it is so effective and so easy to install. Simply cut an x wherever you need to install around a pipe or obstacle and slide the insulating tarp over the top. Insul-tarp also acts as a barrier to help keep radon gas from permeating into the home.

The difference in heat up time of your radiant heating system is significant and less energy will be required to maintain the heated floor temps. Insul-tarp is extremely durable and has a cross woven polyethylene shell to help it stand up to the stresses ground insulation faces. It doesn’t get any easier than this. If you plan to install some type of radiant heated floor system, install the Insul-tarp first and reap the benefits of a thoroughly wonderful and efficient heating system.
