The Reflectix
®
Concrete Slab Insulation is an
innovative, easy to handle product that
increases the energy efficiency of radiant floor
and snow melt systems (under concrete). The
foil, within the product, acts to spread out the
heat signature of heating coils resulting in a
more even floor/slab surface temperature.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Reflectix
®
Concrete Slab Insulation consists of
seven layers. The first layer of white poly is
bonded to foil to protect from lime in curing
concrete. Each outer layer is bonded to a tough
layer of polyethylene for strength. Two inner
layers of insulating bubbles resist conductive
heat flow while a center layer of polyethylene
gives Reflectix
®
high reliability and strength.
