Under concrete slab insulation

Effective insulation under concrete

EcoFoil Ultra CBF Under Slab Insulation surpasses conventional concrete floor insulation, such as polystyrene or foam sheets. Unlike these outdated alternatives, our reflective bubble concrete floor insulation not only prevents radiant heat loss or gain but also eliminates the need for an additional vapor barrier. Additionally, EcoFoil provides a protective barrier against radon and reflects 57% of radiant heat back to the concrete surface, ensuring optimal thermal performance for various applications, from driveways and radiant flooring to concrete slabs.

A radiant barrier and vapor barrier, all in one

Unlike traditional alternatives, Ultra CBF Under Slab Insulation doubles as a vapor barrier, eliminating the need for additional materials.

Under Concrete Slab bubble insulation

Eliminates formation of moisture and condensation on concrete

EcoFoil Ultra CBF Under Slab Insulation features of a layer of metalized foil centered between a layer of bubble insulation laminated to each side with a permanent bond. The bubble layers protect the reflective foil from exposure to the ground or the concrete, and provide a thermal break—eliminating buildup of condensation on the concrete. It is strong and durable enough to withstand the pressure and corrosive nature of concrete and provides the most heat reflectivity of any under slab insulation on the market.

More About EcoFoil Under Concrete Slab Insulation

Please Note: Standard Single or Double Bubble Foil Insulation is not recommended in a concrete insulation application. When foil comes into direct contact with the cement, especially while it is curing, the foil layer will corrode and destroy the reflective properties of the insulation. Ultra CBF Under Slab Insulation was developed and patented for this reason - to serve as a superior concrete floor insulation and concrete vapor barrier, but also to serve as a radiant barrier insulation which reflects radiant heat. This bubble insulation product also gives more reflectivity when used in a heated slab than any other concrete insulation product on the market. This will improve slab response times dramatically when used with radiant heat.

1 winter in the books

I found this product while researching "best methods for in floor heat". This is my first heated slab. We are in Montana and typically get 2wk+ of sub zero weather each winter. This floor system was the only working heat in our shop/house through the winter, as I completed the finish work. Without any air circulation, our building maintained T shirt comfortable temps. with both zones set at 63F.
Installed this foil myself with help from the concrete crew. This product lays tight to the contour of your gravel so you can achieve troughs for thickened edge/mono slabs. We taped the seams with HVAC foil tape and added an additional 1.5" of foam board on top of the foil. I left voids in the foam board and gravel bed for added strength under bearing walls. Resulting in apx 8" thick "mono beams" under the bearing walls. This product held up incredibly well through all of this extra traffic prior to the pour. I've not seen a drop of condensation anywhere on this slab even before the boiler was up and running. Great product! And the scraps work awesome for doghouse and chicken coop insulation.
