Insulation boards are a water resistant, insulated tile backer board made of extruded polystyrene, faced on both sides with a fiberglass mesh embedded into a thin cement polymer mortar.

Advantages:

• Increased energy efficiency: the boards help cutting the heat-up time by up to 90%;
• Strong but flexible: made from extruded polystyrene the boards withstand a load of 30 tonnes per square metre and they can be cut size to suit all shapes of rooms;
• Waterproof and soundproof in one single step: the boards are ideal in waterproofing bathrooms and kitchens and also carry sound proofing properties;
• High thermal insulation: slab&the boards create a barrier to cold rising from the subfloor with high R values.

Application:

• Using Insulation Boards with floor heating significantly reduces the heat-up times and running costs;
• The board is designed to withstand a load of 30 tonnes per square metre and is ideal for use with underfloor heating as it prevents the heat from penetrating down into the substrate below;
• As a wall tile backer board, tiles can be fixed directly onto the surface without prior preparation and being waterproof, is suitable for bathrooms or showers.

Best suited for:

• Warmup Insulation Boards (WIB) are an essential part of our Primary Heating offering. Indeed, in order to heat the room with the least amount of power and energy possible, the first thing is to ensure minimal heat loss through the cold slab or the drafty crawl-space.
• WIB’s are made of extruded polystyrene foam and coated with fiberglass and concrete. Yet, they are only ¼” thick. This gives them tremendous strength and a high load capacity, yet you can still cut them with a utility knife for fast installation.
• Exclusive to Warmup, they are completely watertight and are specifically designed for bathrooms and showers.
• On just ¼”, WIBs provide a 92% thermal break from the cold subfloor and ensure that your floor heating system operates at the highest and most efficient levels.
• Compared with traditional systems on the market, Warmup installations with WIB heat up 78% faster and are 71% more energy-friendly.
