FLOOR INSULATION BOARDS
KlimaBoard® is a lightweight, high density EPS floor insulation board. Reinforced with fibreglass mesh and a cement compound on both sides improves compressive strength and allows for effective application onto substrates.
A Typical Under Tile Heating Installation with KlimaBoard® 10mm Floor Insulation Board
THE INSTALLATION
KlimaBoard® is installed on top of the finishing screed, just underneath the floor finish or, if used with a floor heating system, just underneath the floor heating system.
KlimaBoard® floor insulation boards are especially recommended for installation underneath modern electric floor heating systems to reduce downward heat loss into the concrete slab, improving warming up times of the floor heating systems and reducing energy consumption.
KlimaBoard® is available in different thicknesses, achieving different R values. Improvement in warming up times with Speedheat® floor heating is also noted in the table below:
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
APPLICATION:
Floors in new builds and renovation projects, with or without floor heating systems.
Highly recommended when installing electric floor heating systems for an ultra-efficient floor heating system.
STRUCTURAL ADVANTAGES
Effective de-coupler from the substrate, suppressing surface cracks from concrete following through onto floor surface.
SUSTAINABLE BUILDING
More effective than R1 thermal insulation installed under the slab as per SANS 204:2011.
GREEN LIVING
Environmentally Friendly. Non-Ageing . 100% Recycleable.
ADDED COMFORT
Reduces sound transmission through floors to rooms underneath and above. Floors are closer to ambient temperature of the room.
ENERGY SAVING
Reduces heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, and prevents air draughts. Artificial heating and cooling costs are reduced.
