TERMOFOL offers high-quality solutions for electric underfloor heating, including specially developed insulation materials that significantly improve the efficiency of the heating system. The use of suitable insulation under the electric underfloor heating ensures optimum heat transfer upwards and minimises heat loss to the subfloor.
Importance of Insulation under Electric Underfloor Heating:
-
Energy efficiency: A well-insulated subfloor prevents unnecessary heat loss, meaning the system uses less energy to reach the desired temperature.
-
Faster heat-up time: Insulation ensures that heat is conducted directly to the floor finish, resulting in faster heating of the room.
-
Lower energy costs: Improved efficiency and shorter heat-up times can significantly reduce energy costs.
Recommended Insulation Materials:
TERMOFOL recommends using insulation materials with a minimum thickness of 6 mm under the electric underfloor heating. These materials are designed to reflect the heat upwards and protect the subfloor from excessive heat.
Installation tips:
-
Surface preparation: Ensure a clean, dry and level surface before installing the insulation and heating foil.
-
Placement of insulation: Lay the insulation boards tightly against each other to prevent gaps and heat loss. Use suitable tape to seal the seams.
-
Installation of the heating foil: Place the TERMOFOL heating foil directly on the insulation layer according to the installation instructions.
-
Finishing: Apply the desired floor covering over the heating foil. Make sure that the floor covering is compatible with electric underfloor heating.
Conclusion:
Integrating the right insulation under the TERMOFOL electric floor heating is essential for efficient operation and maximizing comfort. By investing in quality insulation materials, you can enjoy an energy-efficient and effective heating system.
