An Easy DecisionIn the construction industry you are faced with hundreds of decisions every day. Some of them could make or break your project, or even worse your reputation. You are bombarded with details and budgets and timelines that seem impossible to balance. You deserve a few breaks. Are you looking for an easy decision? Well, if your project calls for electric floor heat , the easiest decision you’ll ever make is to provide radiant heat insulation for this system. Insul-Tarp ground insulation is the newest technology available with a patented design perfect for ground, slab, and in-slab insulation for radiant heating systems. This high-tech ground insulation is lightweight and uses closed cell foam and reflective technology with a durable poly-coating. Insul-Tarp ground insulation provides excellent thermal performance and a critical radiant barrier specifically for use under slab applications. Insul-Tarp will not drop to ground temperature causing all the heat to drain from the radiant heat cables. Thanks to a combination of insulation layers and aluminum, Insul-Tarp will provide consistent insulation allowing the cement ground slab to reach optimal temperature levels quicker than other types of insulation. This ensures a more efficient and effective radiant heat system. Definitely a no-brainer decision and one you can make with confidence. Don't install a heated floor without proper ground insulation. |
Save Money by Installing Ground Insulation for your FloorsToday’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 Leads the Pack in Ground Insulation Insul-Tarp is
leading the way in ground insulation technology.
Finding the right radiant barrier for your floors can be
overwhelming. With the right research and attention to
detail home builders can find the radiant heat
insulation right for their project. Insul-Tarp is the
newest ground insulation technology available today. The
patented design of Insul-Tarp makes this ground slab
and in-slab insulation the leader in radiant barrier insulation. Home builders
and buyers today are looking for any and all advantages
when it comes to their costly projects. They are looking at
everything involved in the building from the roof
right down to the 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’s lightweight floor
insulation utilizes three separate layers. In 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 percent against moisture. The unique features of Insul-Tarp, when compared to other foam boards and floor insulation products, gives it the added benefit of maintaining temperatures above ground temperature. Insul-Tarp ground insulation protects the heat from draining from the radiant cables and ground slab. These advantages and more keep Insul-Tarp leading the pack in ground insulation and the first choice for many contractors. |
Insul-Tarp is the Foundation for Preventing Heat LossFloor 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. |
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
