Underfloor Heating Insulation
The insulation is one of the basic components of any heating system. Without proper insulation the costs of maintaining the heat source can go up sky rocketing.

This system will ensure that the heat loss is minimal and is trapped by the radiation and insulation rather than escaping outwards.
Structure:
Most of these boards are manufactured using extruded polystyrene foam which will produce no harmful side effects or affect the ozone layer. This product is environmentally friendly and can be completely recycled for further use.
Functionality:
Functionality of an underfloor heating system are:
Distribution of the warmth is from floor level upwards
Heat distribution is very uniform through out space & cold pockets are eliminated.
The way it works is to reflect the heat upwards into the floor tile rather than making it counterproductive by allowing the heat to settle on the concrete flooring. Due to this you can get the tiles warmth up in no time and the heat generated will remain trapped within. Thus, the tiles will remain at that temperature for a long time. Otherwise, without this simple solution at your disposal it would take about 2 to 3 hours for it to get warmed up. It comes along with an installation guideline which serves as a ready-reckoner.
Practical:
You will improve the performance of the existing system as the purpose of the insulation is to reflect back the heat. This way, the heat is kept in the room and the energy does not get lose. It will keep the room warmer and will also drop the cost of your electricity bills visibly. Underfloor heating insulation is not only an improvement for your home, but it it also very easy to install and maintain and is a great investment for the long term.
Environmentally Friendly:
By acquiring an underfloor heating insulation you protect the environment. The global warming and all other ecological issues everyone is talking about have one common root and that is the problem of wasting energy. We exploit the nature in order to heat ourselves, to make our machines functions and so on. Unfortunately, most of the energy we harvest gets wasted. And this is the source of all problems. The simplest and smartest way to solve this is by increasing the performance of our system. And that's exactly what a insulation does. It keeps the energy inside, for further usage. Instead of using 30% of the generated heat to warm up the room and the rest of 70% to slip and get wasted, with the insulation installed you can reach over 70% efficiency. You actually get to use the energy for the purpose it has been exploited in the first place and not to warm up the environment.
