Thermal Barrier Concrete Floor
The underside of each thermaldry tile features nubbed construction to create a drainage plane as well as a thermal break to shield your feet from the cold concrete floor.
Thermal barrier concrete floor. The barrier under concrete insulation is a thermal block which insulates the concrete from the cold and dampness of the ground. This enhances your overall building efficiency and prevents condensation and moisture buildup that can lead to structural damage. The barrier under concrete thermal insulation and vapor retarder product family is a high performance simple to use and labor saving product for all of your under slab under concrete and radiant floor insulation projects. The barrier s unique core material is an expanded polystyrene eps with a jobsite tough heavy duty poly film laminated on both sides.
Thermaldry tiles also have a built in drainage plane that allows condensation and other moisture to remain isolated from your finished flooring. In fact the thermaldry underlayment system creates a moisture and thermal barrier to keep your finished flooring dry and comfortable at least 8 10 degrees warmer than the concrete surface. Best 6 mil vapor barrier underlayment by flooring type. Thermal insulation helps break the coldness from concrete flooring.
Adding a continuous layer of insulation under the concrete slab foundation creates a thermal barrier between the ground and the heat conductive concrete. Product use like a foam cup protects your hand from the hot beverage it holds the barrier product family protects concrete from heat loss and moisture especially when used in a radiant heat floor application.
