In order to maximise the efficiency of any heating system,
insulation plays an important role - this is especially important
when considering low temperature floor heating. Where new
floors are being constructed in new buildings or conservatories,
good quality insulation should be incorporated at the design
stage, consult with your Architect.
However the problem comes when electric underfloor heating
is being installed in an existing building where taking up
an un-insulated floor is often not a practical option. We
then strongly advise using the best form of insulation available
within your working constraints:-
Tiled floors etc.
1, If your floor height allows we would recommend using a
Tile Backer Board such as:- Varme
Board , or Aquapanel are all excellent products and offer
similar Insulation properties, along with thickness from 6mm
to 60mm.
