Radiant Floor Heating Concrete Slab Insulation

Remember that your slab will be about 75 degrees f.

Radiant floor heating concrete slab insulation. We also have under concrete insulation that is similar but designed specifically for installation under a concrete slab. Because heat goes to colder areas radiant floor insulation is almost all the time placed under the heating element often the concrete slab. Radiant heat insulation is installed to prevent heat loss from a pex radiant floor heating system most commonly pex embedded in concrete slab or stapled underneath the plywood subfloor.

Need insulation for under concrete slabs slabs with radiant heat. Any cooler surface in contact with the slab will try to steal its heat. Reflective insulation for radiant floor heating is tougher and easier to install than traditional foam board insulation that easily cracks and breaks and is made to resist corrosion.

It serves on top of those purposes mentioned above also as protection for the concrete slab itself and prevent its earlier disintegration due to oxidation from soil gases and chemicals. Different insulation types help to minimize heat loss from convection air circulation conduction direct contact or radiation energy waves modes of heat transfer. The reflectix concrete slab insulation is an innovative easy to handle product that increases the energy efficiency of radiant floor and snow melt systems under concrete.

The foil within the product acts to spread out the heat signature of the heating coils. Insulationstop is the best source for top quality products at the best price.
