ABOUT
INSUL-TARP®
Insul-Tarp® is a patented revolutionary product like no other on the market today.
Its lightweight, Space Age design integrates closed cell foam and reflective technology 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. The physical characteristics and overall design of Insul-Tarp® make it a very effective product for insulating under concrete slabs in Residential, Commercial
and Agricultural radiant heating systems.
Insul-Tarp® under slab insulation has been rolled out and installed with radiant tubing
attached to wire mesh using the Quip™. |

Insul-Tarp® insulation was designed specifically for under slab applications. Insul-Tarp® provides excellent thermal performance and a vapor barrier all in one
easy to use product. In most applications the ground temperature that the insulation is
directly exposed to is a consistent 50-55 degrees. Foam board insulation will eventually
stabilize at that temperature level. Therefore, the foam insulation provides a consistent
drain on the radiant system and the slab. Because of the innovative combination of insulation layers and aluminum, Insul-Tarp® allows the slab to reach a desired temperature quicker; and the heating system performs more efficiently. Insul-Tarp® stands alone.

ROLL SIZES
| 12' X 50' = |
50lbs.** |
| 12' X 25' = |
25lbs.** |
| 6' X 50' = |
25lbs. |
| 6' X 25' = |

**12' rolls consist of (2) 6' rolls seamed together. Widths on these rolls will vary.
Note: Actual coverage on a 12' x 50' roll is 575 square feet. On any roll size, always estimate 10% extra to ensure proper coverage. |

QUICK
INSTALLATION
Insul-Tarp® can take less than 1/2 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®.
DURABILITY
Insul-Tarp®'s cross woven polyethylene shell provides a durable coating to withstand construction traffic. Insul-Tarp® will not crack or crumble during installation, allowing for a constant thermal break beneath the slab.
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
insulative properties. Insul-Tarp® 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
Insul-Tarp®'s
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.
