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.
