Product catalog summary
Introduction
Xtratherm XT/UF is a high-performance PIR floor insulation board designed for underfloor heating systems, particularly effective when integrated with renewable energy sources like ground source heat pumps. It offers superior insulation with minimal material thickness, achieving optimal U-value standards.

Specifications
The insulation board is made of a rigid Polyisocyanurate (PIR) core with low emissivity foil facings. It is manufactured under EN ISO 9001:2000 standards and certified by BBA and IAB. The board is available in various thicknesses ranging from 25mm to 150mm.

Installation Procedures
For below floor slab installations, the hardcore should be compacted and blinded with quarry dust or sand. A damp proof membrane (DPM) should be laid over the blinding, sealed with the DPC. The insulation boards should be laid with staggered, closely butted joints. For below floor screed installations, ensure the floor slab is level and follow similar procedures.

Performance and Standards
The insulation achieves a thermal conductivity of 0.023 W/mK and complies with BS EN ISO 6946. It is recommended to improve U-value targets by 30% when using underfloor heating systems. The product is designed to reduce thermal bridging and is suitable for both new builds and refurbishments.

Advantages
Underfloor heating systems eliminate the need for radiators, providing more floor space and even heat distribution. They operate at lower water temperatures, making them ideal for renewable technologies. Proper insulation is crucial to prevent energy loss and ensure system efficiency.

Technical Support and Availability
Xtratherm provides technical support and detailed product information through their website. The products are available through merchants and distributors in the UK and Ireland.

Health & Safety
Xtratherm products are safe, chemically inert, and come with a Health & Safety information sheet available from the Technical Support Department.

Under Floor Heating systems have become the heating method of choice for many new build projects over recent years being particularly suited for use when Renewable Energies such as Ground Source Heat Pumps are integrated into a design. Xtratherm XT/UF Under Floor Insulation will achieved best performance U-value standards with the minimum thickness of materials. Below floor slab Xtratherm XT/UF provides the most efficient means of insulating a floor to the new 2006 standards. Typical floors in the UK have a Perimeter/Area ratio of between 0.4 and 0.7 - 75mm of Xtratherm will achieve a U-value...

Thin-R The floor performance is determined by working out the floor Perimeter to Area ratio, the perfimeter being the total length of the floor perimeter inside the total outer wall of the property and the area is ground floor area only. The above calculations are indicative only, for specific calculations contact technical support. Xtratherm Under Floor Insulation consists of a rigid Polyisocyanurate (Polyiso) core and aluminium gas tight facings both sides, with a thermal conductivity of 0.023.
