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.
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.
