Increasing Floor Heating Efficiency with Reflected Heat

Warm floors or radiant heated floors are becoming more popular and well known these days. People are catching on to their comfort and efficiency. When installing one of these systems it only makes sense to make it as efficient as you possibly can. Installing heated floor insulation is a major step in accomplishing just that. Insul-tarp is made for the job and it is about as easy to install as it gets.

Simply roll out the Insul-tarp and install your heat cable over that and you have what it takes to make your heated floor beautifully comfortable and energy-efficient. Some of the key benefits of Insul tarp is that it is so effective and so easy to install. Simply cut an x wherever you need to install around a pipe or obstacle and slide the insulating tarp over the top. Insul-tarp also acts as a barrier to help keep radon gas from permeating into the home.

The difference in heat up time of your radiant heating system is significant and less energy will be required to maintain the heated floor temps. Insul-tarp is extremely durable and has a cross woven polyethylene shell to help it stand up to the stresses ground insulation faces. It doesn’t get any easier than this. If you plan to install some type of radiant heated floor system, install the Insul-tarp first and reap the benefits of a thoroughly wonderful and efficient heating system.
