Insul-Tarp Saves Installation Time and Operation Costs

Insul-Tarp ground insulation is quickly becoming a top seller for many businesses who have chosen to offer this type of ground insulation in a direct combination with a radiant heating package. Customers are finding that the performance of Insul-Tarp compared to other types of in-slab insulation saves them time and money.

When heated floor insulation is called for, project managers are using Insul-Tarp for its ease of installation which can be installed in a fraction of the time it takes to install rigid foam board. In many cases it is reported to take as much as one tenth the installation time, which saves everyone time and money, from the construction site manager to the end user. Every one sees the cost saving benefits from using this patented design for ground, slab, and in-slab insulation used in radiant heating systems.

Once installed, Insul-Tarp floor insulation facilitates quicker response times for radiant floor heating systems during heat up times of the slab than other products available on the market. This allows the radiant in-floor heating system to reach the desired temperature more efficiently and at a lower cost to the end user.

Insul-Tarp offers a nice compliment to radiant installations because it offers quicker installation and more efficient heating times when used for ground insulation in conjunction with radiant heat flooring. The radiant barrier to the ground assures protection against the ground temperature and allows the radiant floor heating systems to work at full operating potential, saving everyone time and money.

Professional Builders Must Learn to Build Green

Every industry is being impacted by global issues. Finding ways to build and live in eco-friendly buildings has become a priority for many professional builders. Building “green” will soon become essential to generating and keeping business running. Heating and cooling in efficient and environmentally-saving ways is the shape of the future. Providing proper ground insulation to buyers installing radiant heated floors can assist them in keeping the earth’s resources in check.

Heated floor insulation protects homes and larger commercial buildings from major heat loss. Any time cold air is allowed in or warm air out, the systems trying to maintain a constant temperature are taxed. This often translates to higher emissions and higher energy bills. Much is wasted unless ground insulation is properly selected and installed. Efficient floor insulation in turn promotes energy-saving and resource-saving heating costs. The builder is happy, the buyer is happy, and the environment is especially happy.

The trend of “going green” is here to stay. As the consumer becomes savvier, so do the technologies available to them. Professional builders will be smart to invest in quality ground insulation for their radiant floor heating projects because it will not only save them time and money, it may also help save our green planet.

Indoor Uses for Insul-Tarp Ground Insulation

If indoor electric floor heat or radiant heat is on the checklist for you or your customer’s next project, Insul-Tarp is the correct selection for the ground insulation you use before installing the heated floors. There are many indoor applications for Insul-Tarp that have assisted builders in achieving excellent thermal performance in homes and office buildings alike.

Insul-Tarp ground insulation is appropriate for use in all residential radiant floor heating systems as it improves the performance of the radiant heating system and provides higher temperature output. It may be used underneath any type of flooring such as carpet, tile, or hardwood. This unique ground installation may also be used for commercial projects where ground slab and in-slab insulation is required. Size is not an issue as even a large warehouse footprint can be accommodated. Insul-Tarp provides outstanding thermal performance and vapor barrier specifically for use in under-slab applications.

Insul-Tarp in increasing numbers is being combined as part of a radiant heating project and customers are excited to finally have dependable ground insulation for radiant floor heating systems. Insul-Tarp consistently provides highly effective insulation that allows the desired temperatures to be reached more quickly, translating to a more efficient system.

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.
