Product Overview
Warmup UltraLight™ Insulation Board 1/4" thick x 2'3" x 3'3" - Only sold in packs of 5 sheets
Warmup's NEW insulation is a Strong, Flexible, and Lightweight addition to any floor heating project; this 4-in-1 solution improves efficiency, lets your floor get warm faster, and pays for itself many times over the life of your floor.
UltraLight dramatically reduces heat-loss, keeping the warmth in the floor and room, saving energy and money when installed under your floor heating mat or cable.
Red Side is up - Simply spread thinset mortar with a 1/4 x 1/4 Square notch trowel & set the boards in mortar staggering the joints. Allow the thinset to cure before installing floor heating on top. If you plan to use a leveling compound over Ultralight, add Warmup Perimeter Strip to the edge of the room to allow for differential movement between the finished floor level and walls.
Each sheet covers 6.75 Sq Ft and weighs only 2 lbs yet has a compressive strength of 32 PSI
Suitable for use with all electric radiant floor heating systems, Warmup's UltraLight is a specialized multi-layer design consists of PEF insulation sandwiched between aluminum and non-woven fleece, works to achieve 4-in-1 benefits: insulating, heat spreading, decoupling, and Acoustic. The final top layer of non-woven fleece allows thin-set to bond.
The rapid thermal response promoted by the PEF insulation and diffusion layer allows the flooring to heat up faster, resulting in a more energy-efficient and comfortable heated floor.
ADVANTAGES
- Warmup Insulation is a very efficient thermal barrier that increases efficiency and saves you money
- Ultralight™ accelerates lateral heat spread for more even heat in less time than traditional insulation, as depicted on the right. Each layer of Ultralight™ contributes to delivering the 4-in-1 benefits offered by each board. The heat spreading aluminum layer improves comfort and reduces running costs. On slabs, the PEF insulation layer reduces heat up times by 76 minutes on slabs and reduces energy used during heat up by 69%. And finally, the decoupling fleece layer provides high performance protection against tiles cracking due to lateral subfloor movement in accordance with ANSI A118.12 standard
- They reflect heat into the floor tile and minimize heat transfer to a concrete slab below.
- Does not absorb water (0.052% w/w) or support mold growth
- The heat-spreading aluminum layer improves comfort and reduces running costs. This enabled the floor to
achieve the same comfort temperature with 12% less energy - PEF insulation layer reduces heat-up times by 76 minutes on slabs & reduces energy used during heat-up by 69%
- Decoupling fleece layer provides high-performance protection against tiles cracking due to lateral subfloor movement in accordance with ANSI A118.12 standard
- Ultralight achieved a Heavy Commercial rating when used with large format tiles (600 mm x 600 mm) and Light Commercial rating when used with standard tiles (300 mm x 300 mm), in accordance with ASTM-C627 (Robinson Test)
