Insul-Tarp Ground Insulation Protects Heat Loss

A radiant barrier such as the Insul-Tarp ground insulation acts as an effective layer beneath your building to prevent summer heat gain and winter heat loss. With a radiant barrier in place you will see your buildings heating and cooling energy usage go down, making them more energy efficient and more cost effective. Insul-Tarp is used specifically in partnership with a heated floor system, acting as a radiant heat insulation that can more effectively keep heat in your home when you need it and out when you don’t.

Insul-Tarp ground insulation is one of the most effective radiant barriers as they work to reduce heat transfer by thermal radiation across the ground. Most heat loss occurs against a cold or frozen ground, yet with a radiant barrier in place you protect your building from unneeded heat loss. Many builders think to provide a radiant barrier in the attic to eliminate as much heat loss as possible, but more and more they are also considering it as a valuable option under slab radiant floor insulation. Because of its unique design, the Insul-Tarp is a lightweight, flexible, and very durable radiant insulation. Many new construction sites are investigating the increased efficiency of radiant heat floor systems and without fail, a radiant barrier such as the Insul-Tarp is used to keep the system operating at peak efficiency. Anytime you can prevent heat loss in the winter or heat gain in the summer you will see a bottom-line of savings.

Radiant Heat Insulation Works for Everyone 

Warm floors, or as it is known in the business, radiant heated floors, are becoming more widespread and sought after these days. More and more people are catching on to the advantages of radiant heat, which include comfort and energy-efficient operation. When installing heated floors it is critical to make them as efficient as you possibly can. A first basic step to ensuring this efficiency is to install floor insulation first. Insul-Tarp is ground insulation made for just such a job and is relatively easy to install. 

Insul-Tarp is rolled out over the ground before anything else happens. It’s as simple as that. The heat cable goes over that and you then have the makings of an incredibly efficient and cozy radiant heat system in your floor. You can cut a small "x" where you need to put your pipes and then slide the ground insulation over the top.

Insul-Tarp is an effective radiant barrier and makes your radiant home heating system operate with ease. With effective ground insulation in place your radiant heat cables can operate at higher efficiency because they are not trying to heat the cold ground as well as your home. Having floor insulation protects your home from unwanted heat loss. That basement no longer has to be the coldest part of a home and your floors can heat your home as efficiently as they were designed too.

An Easy Decision

In 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?

Insul-Tarp is the Foundation for Preventing Heat Loss

Floor 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.
