Below-Grade & Underslab Insulation
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS)
With up to
50 percent of a building’s total heat loss occurring at the perimeter
and slab of the foundation, below-grade insulation is crucial to
achieving energy efficiency. Below-Grade EPS Insulation is a proven and
effective method of conserving heat energy in cold climates and air
conditioning energy in warm climates.
EPS’s high
R-Value, termite resistance, protection against backfill and expansive
soils makes it the preferred below-grade insulation among contractors,
architects and homeowners.
Types of Below-Grade & Underslab Insulation
Foam-Control®
Below-Grade Insulation: Plain (unfaced) insulation.
Available in a variety of
sizes.
Polar-R®
Below-Grade Insulation: Film faced EPS for superior moisture resistance and protection against
backfill. Available in 4' x 8' sheets.
Polar
Fold® Protection Board: Film faced EPS for superior moisture resistance and protection against
backfill. Available in 4’ x 50’ fan fold sheets.
Radiant Floor Panels: A modular board insulation by Crete-Heat, vapor barrier and
radiant tube
holding grid that allows for installation of hydronic radiant
floor heating systems in basements, garages, main floor slab on grade
and above grade installations where concrete or gypcrete is normally
used.
