Insulate creates a thermal barrier on a concrete substrate and your finished floor. When installing floor heating on a concrete substrate we highly recommend as it is inexpensive, easy to lay and provides significant operational savings. Note: There are insulation boards available for this purpose but they are very expensive and overkill!
Insulate is extremely durable and will withstand repeated stress. The mat will not shrink, absorb moisture or rot. Insulate has not been tested or approved as a sound reducing application but it does offer high impact and sound reducing properties.
