Understanding Heat Loss in Floor Systems
Underfloor heating (UFH) is a premium feature in modern residential and commercial builds. However, without proper downward insulation, up to 40% of the generated heat can be lost to the concrete subfloor. This not only increases energy bills but also drastically reduces the system’s responsiveness.
The Solution: Specialized XPS Insulation Panels
Banarta’s XPS insulation boards are engineered specifically to combat downward heat loss. By placing a high-thermal-resistance layer between the subfloor and the heating elements, the heat is forced upward into the living space, ensuring rapid warm-up times and maximum energy efficiency.
Grooved vs. Flat Boards
- Pre-Grooved XPS Boards: Ideal for wet installations, these boards come with factory-cut grooves designed to snugly fit heating pipes, eliminating the need for additional clipping or screening.
- Flat XPS Boards: Perfect for electric wire systems, providing a smooth, flat, and highly insulated base that reflects heat instantly through the floor finish.
For hydronic systems that require factory-grooved insulation, see our routed XPS insulated backer board for groove layouts, load performance, and OEM options.
