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.
