  Products :: Insul-Tarp

Insul-Tarp® is a patented revolutionary product like no other on the market today. Its lightweight, Space Age design integrates closed cell foam and an aluminum reflective material with a protective poly coating all within three thin layers. The durable poly coating protects the insulating material from potentially damaging surfaces and is impermeable to moisture, helping it to maintain a high R-value in a minimal amount of space. The physical characteristics and overall design of Insul-Tarp® make it the most effective product for insulating under concrete slabs in Residential, Commercial and Agricultural radiant heating systems.

Insul-Tarp® insulation was designed specifically for under-slab applications. Insul-Tarp® provides excellent thermal performance and a vapor barrier all in one easy to use product. In most applications the ground temperature that the insulation is directly exposed to is a consistent 50-55 degrees. Foam board insulation will eventually stabilize at that temperature level. Therefore, the foam insulation provides a consistent drain on the radiant system and the slab. Because of the innovative combination of layers of insulation and aluminum, Insul-Tarp® allows the slab to reach a desired temperature quicker; therefore the heating system performs more efficiently. Insul-Tarp® stands alone.

ROLL SIZES

**12' X 50' =

50lbs.

**12' X 25' =

25lbs.

6' X 50' =

25lbs.

6' X 25' =

12lbs.

4' X 50' =

16lbs


**12' rolls consist of (2) 6' rolls seamed together. Widths on these rolls may vary.

Note: On any roll size, always estimate 10% extra to ensure you order enough for proper coverage.


QUICK INSTALLATION
 

Insul-Tarp® can take less than 1/4 the time of conventional insulation to install. While rigid insulation requires the subsoil surface to be lowered and leveled, no special preparations are needed to accommodate Insul-Tarp®. Installation around plumbing is almost effortless. Simply cut an "X" in the tarp and slide it over the top of the pipe. Less time, less mess and less effort.


 

 

 

QUICKER RESPONSE TIME

With Insul-Tarp®'s under-slab installation, the response time of the heating system is quicker and more consistent due to the insulation's insulative properties. Insul-Tarp® significantly decreases the heat loss to the earth below the slab, allowing the system to react more efficiently and accurately to a shift in temperature. A quicker response time means a happier customer.

 

 

WHY INSUL-TARP® WORKS...

Insul-Tarp®'s innovative combination of layers enable it to effectively control all three modes of heat transfer -- Conduction, Convection and Radiation. In a heated slab, Insul-Tarp® improves the performance of the radiant heating system and provides higher slab temperature output.
