RADIANT HEATING AND UNDER
CONCRETE APPLICATIONS
Thermo Reflect provides
reflective insulation engineered specifically for use underneath
concrete. It dramatically improves the performance of radiant
heating systems and provides enhanced temperature maintenance
for concrete floors.
RADIANT
HEAT IN CONRETE FLOOR
Many of today’s homeowners are enjoying all the benefits
of radiant floor heating, reduced drafts and cleaner air.
Radiant heating is quieter than traditional forced-air units
and distributes heat more evenly. Without adequate insulation,
even the most efficient heating system will not work at its
full potential because of the heat lost to the ground below.
Installing Thermo Reflect’s Under-Concrete
insulation products will reflect heat back up to the living
area. They’re easy to install and double as a vapor
barrier, bringing down installation costs. With these product
solutions, building owners notice a faster slab response time,
increased comfort and improved energy efficiency!
