Warm Up Thermal Insulation Board
All buildings should strive for the highest.
Warm up thermal insulation board. S pecial care must be taken to avoid contact between the electrical floor heating system and the insulating board usually by means of a thin layer of adhesive or by installing a metal mesh on which the heating cables are attached. With a 78 fast ramp up time your system will save you 71 in electrical usage. This is because the insulation board prevents the thermal mass from escaping downwards significantly reducing the amount of heat absorbed by the subfloor. To just 25 minutes.
Heats up times in our testing facility were cut down from 2 5 hrs. Heat up times with floor insulation in testing heat up time was cut from over 2 hours to just 25 minutes. By reducing the amount of time the room takes to warm up and cool down the room can spend longer at its. This allows the underfloor heating system to warm the floor and the room up faster and ensures the floor cools down faster after use.
This data applies to warmup heating products only. The uncoated insulation boards are water resistant and are made of extruded polystyrene. The high compressive strength of the board 30 tons sqm ensures the integrity of the floor is maintained. On a wooden floor it has a 2 degree increase every 10 minutes from startup.
After switching on your heating your floor tiles will warm up in about 15 20 minutes even on a cold concrete floor. This is because the insulation board prevents the thermal mass from escaping downwards significantly reducing the amount of heat absorbed by the subfloor. The higher the r value the better an insulator e g. Xps foam insulation boards 1200 x 600 x 10mm qty 44 coverage 31 68m2 electric and water underfloor heating tile laminate underlay thermal extruded polystyrene insulation sheets 4 7 out of 5 stars 21.
This is because the insulation board prevents the thermal mass from escaping downwards significantly reducing the amount of heat absorbed by the subfloor. The board is designed for use under a screed coating. The r value is a measure of thermal resistance used in the construction industry. They reflect the heat upwards into the floor tile instead of allowing heat to warm up the concrete slab below.
10mm warmup insulation boards have an r value of 0 28 m k w and the 20mm warmup insulation boards have an r value of 0 58 m k w. Our underfloor heating by acting as a very efficient thermal barrier.
