Note: This item comes standard with a self taped edge that runs down the 64' length of the product
The Barrier product family is an EPS foam under slab insulation and vapor
retarder, designed to insulate radiant heating projects from heat loss
and retard moisture migration through concrete. The core of the product
is made of flexible, recyclable expanded polystyrene that provides the
excellent insulation characteristics that are needed to maximize energy
savings and minimize heat loss. The unique core has vapor retarding
films bonded to both sides as well as a patented self-taping edge and
overlapping flange to make the entire installation seam-free.
High-performance insulation values, cost-saving installation, and
unequaled flexibility makes The Barrier product family the most
effective radiant floor insulation and vapor retarder in todays market.
Features & Benefits:
- Durable / Flexible / Walkable
- 100% Waterproof and Vapor-proof
- Expanded polystyrene for real insulating value
- Fast / Easy Installation - 4' x 64' rolls for significant labor
savings
- Seamless - Patented factory applied tape edge reduces
thermal bridging
- Printed layout guides for tubing layout or trimming
- Sustainable = Recycled EPS content
- Improved 3" overlap flange
- Full product coverage - no need to purchase additional
material for overlap loss.
Product Use:
Like a foam cup protects your hand from the hot beverage it holds, The
Barrier product family protects concrete from heat loss and moisture
damage, especially when used in a radiant heat floor application. Use in
all floor heating or snow melting applications where the heat should be
driven upwards as opposed to wasting the energy to the ground. Great
uses are in hydronic, electric slab heating or snow melting
applications. Where higher density material is desired, BarrierHL and
XBoard at 25 psi provides the increased support and necessary R-values
such as in slab-on-slab retrofits with thinner concrete over-pours. The
entire product lineup is strong, durable, and utilizes long-lasting
proven R-Value performance without the use of reflective foil.
Installation is far easier because you can walk on all of them without
breaking - plus, the patented seam taping system makes installation fast
and efficient.
