HYDROFOAM DESCRIPTION

Transcription

1 DESCRIPTION Hydronic floor heating moulded insulation board 4 ft x 4 ft (1219mm x 1219mm) Multidirectional anchoring for 1/2 in (13mm) or 5/8 in (16mm) pipes Shiplapped and 1 in (25mm) interlocking on all 4 sides

2 PRODUCT FEATURES APPLICATIONS Residential, commercial, industrial and institutional construction Insulation under concrete slabs ADVANTAGES Superior Performance Efficient installation: Multidirectional anchoring for uniform insertion of heating pipes Quick installation: Anchoring allows for setting the pipes in the desired orientation without fasteners More solid and resistant: Made of moulded high density expanded polystyrene Lightweight and easy to handle Increased comfort: Allows for a stable and uniform indoor temperature year round Economical Permanent insulation value Best quality for the money Energy savings through elimination of thermal bridges Less labour required during installation Ecological 100% recyclable Contains no CFCs or HCFCs Resistant to water and moisture that may be the primary cause of mildew formation Non-toxic, contains 98% air and 2% material Can be handled without health hazards and is non-irritating to skin Can contribute to earning points as part of a LEED project

The maximum intermittent service temperature F ( C) is 180 (82,2). The coefficient of thermal expansion in/in/ F (mm/mm/ C) is 3,5 x 10-5 (6 x 10-5c-1) as per ASTM D-696 method. AVAILABLE SIZES 4 ft x 4 ft (1219mm x 1219mm) with the following thicknesses: 2 1/2 in (64mm), R-10, 3 3/8 in (86mm) with anchoring 4 in (102mm), R-16, 4 7/8 in (124mm) with anchoring All of the HYDROFOAM boards meet the new requirements of section 11 on energy efficiency of the Quebec Construction Code chapter for insulation under the concrete slab whenever a hydronic heating system has been installed and satisfies most of the new requirements set for Eastern Canada. Check with your local Construction Building Code. For 1/2 in (13mm) and 5/8 in (16mm) pipes. ISO 9001:2015 Certified quality management system ISO 9001:2015 Warning Flammable: interior applications require a protective barrier. The expanded polystyrene used for HYDROFOAM boards is Warnock Hersey (WH) certified according to the ULC S701 standard. All installations must comply with the National Building Code.

4 INSTALLATION TIPS 1. Lay under the concrete slab only. The ground must be flat and levelled (ideally compacted). 2. If needed, apply a vapour-barrier membrane on the ground before covering your surface with HYDROFOAM boards. 3. Insert the hydronic floor heating pipes in the required direction between the multidirectional anchors. 4. Once the pipes are installed, you can pour concrete directly onto the boards (refer to your local Building Code). Visit hydrofoam.ca to see the installation video.
