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.

The Importance of Ground Insulation for Basements

For many the greatest offender for chilly areas in a home is the basement. Often this is because the basement was never properly insulated. Insulation is focused on the walls and roofs but the sub-floor is often neglected in building. The cold soil during winter surrounding the house and foundation usually keeps basements colder year round and the importance of ground insulation becomes clear. Insul-Tarp ground insulation is an important part of the cement slab pouring process and will help you “warm it up,” by keeping the heat in and the cold out of your basements.

An effective marriage is to take Insul-Tarp ground insulation as your base layer in construction and couple it with a radiant floor heating system. The proper installation of ground insulation forces the heat from the radiant heat cables upward to warm the floors and prevents heat from being wasted as it seeps back into the ground. Without the use of ground insulation you lose an important radiant barrier and your radiant floor cables will run less efficiently. Make Insul-Tarp part of the initial cement pouring process and find that your completed projects will enjoy the benefits of warmer basements, especially when paired with a top-notch in-floor heating system utilizing the technology of radiant heat.
