Floor Insulation

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.

Varme Board and Aquapanel are fixed to your existing floor surface prior to laying the heating cable and tiling.
As shown in this example :-

 

2, If you do not have the room to install Tilebacker Boards, we would recommend using a Insulating Primer such as:- Therma-Coat New and recently developed it is a paint on floor primer containing tiny ceramic spheres to form a thermal barrier.

Laminate or Wood floors etc:-

 

A layer of Depron (2 for greater efficientcy) is laid under the heating film this replaces the std (Bubble) insulation normally supplies with Laminates.
