Description
Crete-Heat expanded polystyrene (EPS) floor insulation boards combine concrete insulation, vapor barrier and PEX tubing holding grid into a single product, which significantly simplifies installation of PEX tubing for radiant heating and snow melting applications in a concrete slab. No foamboard staplers/staples or wire ties needed.
Suitable for insulating slabs in basements, garages, warehouses, etc. – in below, at or above-grade installations (Note: below-grade installations will require a vapor barrier). Compatible with all types (A, B, C) and brands (Everhot, Uponor, Viega, Watts, Zurn, etc.) of PEX tubing. Also compatible with 1/2″ PEX-AL-PEX.
Package includes (12) 2ft x 4ft panels, equaling 96 sqft of coverage.
Features:
- Cuts labor by over 60% and allows for a 1-person installation – simply “walk the tubing in the board”
- Tongue & groove interlocking edges make installation easier – no glue or taping needed
- Knob design allows for spacing in precise 3″ increments (3″, 6″, 9″, etc.) – no chalkline needed
- Lays flat, can be walked on and helps to protect the pipe from damage during construction
- EPS provides stable R-value and does not need to be adjusted for age
- CFC and HCFC-Free.
