Product Information

Full details

The Fastwarm EPS Insulation Pack is designed for homeowners and contractors looking to optimize the efficiency of underwood and undercarpet foil heating systems. By providing a high-performance thermal barrier with a 0.030 W/mK rating, these boards effectively minimize downward heat loss, though users should ensure their subfloor is perfectly level prior to installation to prevent structural movement.

FAQs

Are these boards compatible with tile heating?

These boards are specifically designed for underwood and undercarpet foil heating systems and should not be used for tile applications, which typically require cement-based backer boards.

Can I use these on a concrete floor?

Yes, they are suitable for both concrete and timber subfloors, provided the surface is dry and level.

How do I cut the boards?

The EPS material can be easily cut to size using a standard, sharp utility knife or a fine-toothed hand saw.

Do I need to tape the joints between boards?

While not strictly required for performance, using a high-quality jointing tape ensures the boards stay aligned and prevents movement before the final flooring is laid.

What is the total area covered by one pack?

Each pack covers 10 square meters.

Troubleshooting

Boards moving during installation

Use double-sided tape or a suitable adhesive recommended for EPS to secure the boards to the subfloor.

Uneven floor surface after installation

Check that the subfloor was level before laying the boards; use a self-leveling compound if the subfloor is irregular.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces energy consumption by preventing heat loss
  • Provides effective acoustic insulation for quieter rooms
  • Easy to cut and fit into irregular room shapes
  • Moisture-resistant properties extend the lifespan of the heating system

Cons

  • Requires a completely flat and level subfloor for best results
  • Not suitable for heavy-duty structural flooring loads without proper reinforcement
  • Requires careful handling to prevent corner denting before installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and free of debris. Lay the boards in a staggered pattern to maximize structural integrity. The boards can be cut using a standard utility knife to fit around doorways or alcoves. These boards are specifically compatible with underwood and undercarpet foil heating systems. For care, avoid using heavy solvents or cleaners on the boards during installation. Once covered by the final flooring, the boards require no maintenance as they are inherently rot-proof and stable.
