INSUL-TARP
Under-Slab Insulation
the industries' number one selling under-slab insulation
 Insul-Tarp is a patented revolutionary product like no other on the market today. Its lightweight, Space Age design integrates closed cell foam and an aluminum reflective material with a protective poly coating all within three thin layers. The durable poly coating protects the insulating material from potentially damaging surfaces and is impermeable to moisture, helping it to maintain a high R-value in a minimal amount of space. The superior physical characteristics and overall design of Insul-Tarp make it the most effective product for insulating under concrete slabs in Residential, Commercial and Agricultural radiant heating systems.
Insul-Tarp's innovative combination of layers and reflective material enable it to effectively control all three modes of heat transfer -- Conduction, Convection and Radiation. In a heated slab, Radiation is responsible for 93% of the heat traveling downward.

 Why Insul-Tarp Works...
Traditional mass insulation such as foam board addresses mainly Conduction and Convection and has been shown to be only 30% effective when dealing with Radiant heat flow. Unlike conventional insulations, Insul-Tarp reflects up to 97% of the Radiant heat transfer back into the living areas. There is no need to use other insulating products in conjunction with Insul-Tarp for it to achieve its superior performance... Insul-Tarp stands alone.
Easy to Handle
Lightweight Insul-Tarp rolls come in three sizes -- 6'x25', 6'x50', and 12'x50'. Insul-Tarp can be carried and installed by
one person.
Quick Installation
Insul-Tarp can take less than 1/4 the time of conventional insulation to install. While rigid insulation requires the subsoil surface to be lowered and leveled, no special preparations are needed to accommodate Insul-Tarp. Installation around plumbing is almost effortless. Simply cut an "X" in the tarp and slide it over the top of the pipe. Less time, less mess and less effort.
 Insul-Tarp, as shown here, has been rolled out and installed with radiant tubing banded to wire mesh.
Quicker Response Time
With Insul-Tarp's under-slab installation, the response time of the heating system is quicker and more consistent due to the insulation's superior
reflective properties. Insul-Tarp significantly decreases the heat loss to the earth below the slab, allowing the system to react more efficiently and accurately to a shift in temperature. A quicker
response time means a happier customer.
Effective Vapor and Radon Barrier
The Insul Tarp low perm rate allows it to act as a vapor barrier. Therefore, it becomes very effective in preventing radon gas infiltration, creating a safer
environment for your customer.

HCFC 22 is a controlled substance under the Montreal Protocol and European Regulation and will be phased out on a global basis with all other HCFCs. HCFC 22 is already banned in Europe in most new equipment and is subject to a rapidly tightening cutback schedule. It is, therefore, now time to consider the options for replacing HCFC 22 which will become restricted in availability as these cutbacks come into effect.
