Foil for Underfloor Heating – A Simple and Effective Modern Insulation Solution

What is Foil for Underfloor Heating?

Foil for underfloor heating is a special type of insulation material used in floor heating systems. Its main role is to reflect heat upward into the room and prevent energy loss through the floor base. Thanks to this, the system works more efficiently, energy costs are reduced, and the indoor climate becomes more comfortable.

Technical Specifications

● Thickness: 5–10 mm options available
● Length: typically supplied in 50-meter rolls for quick coverage of large areas
● Material: gray polymer base with a metallic reflective layer
● Thermal resistance: high reflection capacity to direct heat upward

Advantages

● Energy efficiency – prevents downward heat loss and lowers heating bills
● Even heating – distributes warmth across the entire floor
● Easy installation – lightweight, flexible, and simple to cut
● Durability – resistant to wear, ensuring long service life
● Versatility – suitable for residential, office, and commercial use

Limitations

● Efficiency depends on proper installation
● Thinner foil has lower insulation capacity
● Fire resistance at higher temperatures should be considered

Applications

Foil for underfloor heating can be used in:

● Water-based and electric floor heating systems
● New construction projects for energy saving
● Renovation of old apartments and houses
● Homes, cottages, offices, and retail spaces

Installation Process

1. Prepare and level the floor surface
2. Roll out the foil evenly across the floor
3. Seal joints to avoid gaps
4. Lay heating pipes or electrical cables on top
5. Cover with screed and apply the final floor finish (laminate, tile, etc.)

Foil for underfloor heating is a cost-effective and reliable insulation material. It enhances the performance of heating systems, saves energy, and ensures maximum comfort. For anyone planning to install underfloor heating, using foil insulation is highly recommended.
