ADVANTAGES

• WIBs will save you money when used in conjunction with our underfloor heating by acting as a very efficient thermal barrier.

• They reflect the heat upwards into the floor tile instead of allowing heat to warm up the concrete slab below.

• Heat up Times with Floor Insulation In testing, heat-up time was cut from over 2½ hours to just 25 minutes. This data applies to Warmup heating products only.                                            

• Installing WIBs drastically improves floor heating efficiency, with a quick heating time, with a 78% faster heating time than over concrete slab alone.  Heat up times over a 59F degree concrete slab were 78% faster than when applied directly over the subfloor. While a Warmup mat over WIBs reaches 80 degrees in 64 minutes, a traditional system took 5 full hours to reach 77F.

• This also means that the system ran a lot less, and proved to provide 71% savings in electrical usage.

  • Depending on the cost of electricity and price of the insulation boards, pay-back time was estimated between 1.7 and 2.1 years.
