BodenWarme’s premium quality triple layer underfloor heating insulation boards 10mm reflect heat upwards to decrease running costs and speed up warm-up times of electric underfloor heating systems. Furthermore, their water-resistant cement coating enables them to be secured to flexible tile adhesives without additional priming requirements.
XPS Insulation Boards
XPS insulation boards offer an energy-efficient solution for new construction and renovation projects alike, offering exceptional thermal performance as well as moisture resistance to prevent mold, mildew, or other damaging effects of moisture exposure. Furthermore, there is a wide selection of thickness options to suit any application.
XPS foam insulation is constructed of heated polystyrene crystals mixed with additives and gas blowing agents, processed through an extruding machine, to produce closed-cell rigid foam with honeycomb structure and tightly bound cells that help it resist moisture better than EPS insulation due to being fully closed-cell insulation material.
Madar offers high-quality XPS insulation products that meet industry requirements for structural, thermal and moisture protection. Our insulation boards can be installed in various applications including foundations to protect against clay soil expansion or contraction that leads to pressure or heave on foundations or prevent subsidence.
BodenWarme Underfloor Heating Insulation Boards
Installing an electric underfloor heating system should include using insulating boards as this helps reflect heat upwards to the floor surface, saving energy, lowering running costs, and speeding up heating time.
BodenWarme electric underfloor heating kits come in either 150 W/m2 mat or 200 W/m2 loose cable versions for simple DIY installation and professional installer use alike. Compatible with various Bodenwarme thermostats ranging from simple on/off basic models up to state of the art intelligent ISTAT systems, these kits make floor heating affordable for everyone from DIYers to professional installers alike.
Insulation boards 10mm made from eco-friendly expanded polystyrene are constructed from eco-friendly EPS (expanded polystyrene), free from CFC’s or HCFC’s that may harm the environment, with zero water absorption and designed for flexible tile adhesive bonding applications. Each board weighs as little as 2kg for easy transport during installation.
Larsen Thermal Construction Board
Larsen trusses are used to build walls that provide room for above average amounts of insulation, without becoming structural. These non-structural elements help the construction of high R-value building envelopes by providing a cavity to stuff with additional layers of insulation – perfect for meeting Passive House standards with their ability to combine with blown-in cellulose for even more optimal performance.
These lightweight XPS tilebacker boards are specially crafted to be multipurpose and suitable for application to all tile types, cement based screeds and synthetic renders. Their factory applied reinforced cement coating provides enhanced impact strength, sound reduction and fire protection properties.
After the wall assembly has been framed, sheathed, and clad, bulk water management can be done through its cladding while moving the vapor barrier towards the interior for safer operation in all seasons. These can also be added as part of deep energy retrofit projects in existing homes.
Premium Thermal Substrate Insulation Board
For optimal floor U-value that meets building regulations, insulation with superior thermal properties is required. Kingspan K103 Kooltherm phenolic board insulation material offers low water vapour permeability and excellent compressive strength to meet these criteria.
Insulation board designed for use in timber frame and masonry structures. Unaffected by air infiltration, resistant to the passage of water vapour and easy to cut and shape – ideal for both new construction projects as well as refurbishments.
Make sure your insulation is installed by a trusted installer to ensure its performance and longevity, and in accordance with its manufacturer’s printed installation guidelines. Submit shop drawings of wall assembly mock-ups showing locations of window/door openings, penetrations/terminations through structural members attached to the wall as well as manufacturer product data as well as a current Code Compliant Research Report for submission.
