The Importance of Ground Insulation for BasementsFor many the greatest offender for chilly areas in a home is the basement. Often this is because the basement was never properly insulated. Insulation is focused on the walls and roofs but the sub-floor is often neglected in building. The cold soil during winter surrounding the house and foundation usually keeps basements colder year round and the importance of ground insulation becomes clear. Insul-Tarp ground insulation is an important part of the cement slab pouring process and will help you “warm it up,” by keeping the heat in and the cold out of your basements. An effective marriage is to take Insul-Tarp ground insulation as your base layer in construction and couple it with a radiant floor heating system. The proper installation of ground insulation forces the heat from the radiant heat cables upward to warm the floors and prevents heat from being wasted as it seeps back into the ground. Without the use of ground insulation you lose an important radiant barrier and your radiant floor cables will run less efficiently. Make Insul-Tarp part of the initial cement pouring process and find that your completed projects will enjoy the benefits of warmer basements, especially when paired with a top-notch in-floor heating system utilizing the technology of radiant heat. |
Insul-Tarp Acts As Effective Ground InsulationWhen you ask around, you’ll find most construction professionals understand the benefits of insulating homes properly. They are first to recommend the right kind of insulation for walls and roofs, but hopefully they don’t forget the importance of ground insulation. If a homeowner spends any time in their basement during the winter, they can attest to the fact that the biggest source of cold is the lack of proper ground insulation. Cold temperatures cause the ambient temperature in the soil and cement foundation surrounding a home, which in turn keeps basements colder than the rest of the home, year round. During the winter this can cause major problems for people living in colder climates. Construction projects that use Insul-Tarp ground insulation during the cement slab pouring process will keep the heat inside and the cold out, right where it belongs. Insul-Tarp ground insulation is even more effective when you can recommend it in tandem with radiant floor heat. When Insul-Tarp is present it acts as a radiant barrier and forces the heat from the radiant heating cables upward, which in turn warms the floors more efficiently and prevents wasteful heat loss into the ground or surrounding walls and windows. Recommending Insul-Tarp to homebuilders will help keep their basements warm during the extra cold months and acts as an effective ground insulation year-round. |
