Under Slab Insulation System - *After
compacted fill* Install 6mil. poly on top of fill. Spray
1in. continuous slab of 2lb. or 3ob. polyurethane foam
on top of
poly.
2lb. compressive strength = 3750lbs/sq.ft.
3lb. compressive
strength = 5000lbs/sq.ft.
-
-
Ideal
for radiant floor heating of any kind. No seals to
deteriorate over time, allowing moisture to come
through.
-
Easier
to work on than R-board.
-
Cost
- a superior way to insulate under slabs for around
$1/sq.ft.
-
Quick
application/cure time - 2-3hours to spray a 2000sq.ft
slab, concrete can be poured approx. 30min-45min from
the time the foam has been sprayed.
