Marmox insulation – the power of technology

Just because you cannot see it, doesn’t mean you do not need it! In these energy-conscious times, people are looking for home heating that’s highly efficient as well as comfortable to live with. Undertile and undercarpet heating are popular choices, but a significant amount of heat can be absorbed by the floor below. Independent research has proven that up to 50% of radiant undertile heating is lost down through the sub-floor.

The good news is that Marmox Insulation Boards allow you to create an underfloor system that directs the heat upwards into the room. This will significantly improve the warmup time of the floor and greatly reduce running costs, and even more so when using a programmable thermostat. Laid on top of existing boards or new floors before tiling or carpet laying, they provide an ideal base for cost-effective underfloor heating
