Product Information
Full details
This Adept Edge Insulation Roll is designed for homeowners and contractors installing underfloor heating (UFH) systems. Its primary benefit is minimizing heat loss at room perimeters and allowing for screed expansion, which prevents cracking and enhances UFH efficiency. A potential caveat is ensuring the correct width is selected for the specific installation depth. This roll is a crucial component for ensuring the longevity and optimal performance of both domestic and commercial UFH systems, offering thermal insulation and expansion gap protection through its high-quality, lightweight foam construction.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this edge insulation roll?
Its primary purpose is to prevent heat loss at the room's perimeter and to provide an expansion gap for the screed, preventing cracks.
What are the dimensions of this specific roll?
This specific roll is 150mm in height, 8mm in thickness, and 50 meters in length.
Can I use this for electric underfloor heating systems?
Yes, this insulation roll is suitable for both water-based and electric underfloor heating systems.
How do I ensure I choose the correct height?
You should choose a height that matches or slightly exceeds your intended screed depth to provide adequate coverage and expansion space.
Do I need to use adhesive to fix it?
It is recommended to secure the insulation to the wall with an appropriate adhesive or tape to ensure it stays upright during the screed pour.
Is this product suitable for use in bathrooms?
Yes, it is suitable for bathrooms and other domestic or commercial wet areas, provided it is installed correctly within the screed layer.
How does this insulation improve UFH efficiency?
By creating a thermal barrier at the perimeter, it minimizes heat loss outwards and directs more heat upwards into the room, making the system more efficient.
Troubleshooting
Insulation is difficult to cut cleanly.
Use a sharp utility knife or a fine-toothed saw for cleaner cuts. Ensure the foam is well-supported while cutting.
Screed is cracking despite using insulation.
Verify that the correct height of insulation was used for the screed depth. Ensure there are no other rigid points of restraint around the perimeter. Check the screed mix and curing process.
Heat loss still noticeable at the edges.
Confirm the insulation roll is properly sealed against the wall with no gaps. Ensure no thermal bridging occurs elsewhere (e.g., through pipes or structural elements).
Adhesive is not holding the insulation in place.
Ensure the wall surface is dry and free of dust. Use an adhesive specifically recommended for foam insulation and the wall substrate.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Significantly reduces heat loss at room perimeters, improving energy efficiency.
Protects screed from cracking by allowing for controlled expansion and contraction.
Easy to cut and install due to its lightweight and flexible foam material.
Continuous roll format speeds up installation and minimizes the need for joins.
Suitable for both domestic and commercial underfloor heating installations.
Enhances the overall longevity and performance of the UFH system.
Cons
Requires careful selection of the correct height (150mm in this case) to match the screed depth.
The 8mm thickness may not be sufficient for all insulation requirements; additional insulation layers might be needed in some scenarios.
While easy to cut, precise angled cuts for corners might require some practice for a perfect finish.
The 50m roll length might be excessive for very small projects, potentially leading to waste if not planned carefully.
Primarily designed for perimeter use; not a substitute for full-floor insulation panels.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the floor area is clean and free of debris.
Unroll the insulation and position it vertically against the wall at the perimeter of the room.
Secure the insulation to the wall using appropriate adhesive or tape, ensuring it remains upright.
Trim the top edge if necessary to align with the intended screed height.
Overlap sections slightly if multiple pieces are needed, though the continuous roll minimizes this requirement.
Compatibility:
Suitable for all standard water-based UFH systems.
Compatible with electric UFH systems.
Works with various screed types (cement, anhydrite, etc.).
Ideal for both domestic new builds, renovations, and commercial installations.
Care:
This product is designed for installation and does not require ongoing maintenance.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures before installation.
Keep clean and dry prior to installation to ensure optimal adhesion if using tape or adhesive.
