Thermogroup Econoboard Uncoated Insulation Board

econoboard-uncoated

The strong thermal qualities of Econoboard help to prevent heat loss through the substrate, making it perfect for increasing the insulation of concrete and screed substrates.
Econoboard has a high compressive strength as well. When you combine this with minimum height build-up, you have the ideal board for installing underfloor heating systems on solid substrates.
When utilizing a flexible tile adhesive like Econofix, Econoboard has a specially prepared surface that provides an exceptionally strong bind to the substrate.

  • Prevents Heat Loss – Strong thermal properties enhance insulation on concrete and screed substrates.
  • High Compressive Strength – Durable with minimal height build-up, ideal for underfloor heating.
  • Secure Adhesion – Special surface ensures a strong bond with Econofix flexible tile adhesive.

  • Is it necessary to use Econoboard Insulation Boards with underfloor heating?

    Because heat flows evenly in all directions until it encounters a layer of thermal resistance, installing a layer of Econoboard Insulation Boards beneath the Underfloor Heating to act as a thermal resistance layer and prevent downward heat loss is highly recommended. Stopping this downward heat loss reduces the time it takes for the Underfloor Heating to heat up and can improve its efficiency by up to 50%. However, if this is not taken into account during the height construction, the heating will still work, but it will be less efficient and take longer to warm up.

  • What is the difference between Econoboard Insulation that is uncoated and Econoboard Insulation that is coated?

    Uncoated boards have an extruded polystyrene core with a fibre reinforced cement coating on both sides, whereas coated boards have an extruded polystyrene core with a fibre reinforced cement coating on both sides. The Coated Econoboard is designed to be used on a wooden substrate to offer lateral stability, whilst the Uncoated Econoboard is designed to be used on concrete.
