XPS Rapid underlayment F-065554

Application and Material Composition

This underfloor insulation board is designed specifically for underfloor heating installations, where not only thermal insulation but also moisture resistance and dimensional stability are critical. Made from extruded polystyrene (XPS), the material features a closed-cell structure, making it resistant to water absorption. Consequently, it retains its insulating properties even under conditions of increased humidity, which is essential for installations in bathrooms or kitchens.

This system is suitable for all types of floating floors, ensuring uniform heat distribution from the heating installation into the room. The 3 mm thickness represents an optimal compromise between insulation performance and minimizing floor height, allowing for easy adaptation to existing door thresholds without the need for trimming.

Installation and Practical Benefits

For installers, speed and precision are paramount; therefore, the manufacturer has implemented a "puzzle" interlocking system. This edge profile eliminates the need for additional adhesives or fixing tapes—the boards fit perfectly together, forming a continuous layer without gaps. This not only accelerates the laying process but also prevents the formation of thermal bridges at the joints.

Key features facilitating installation and operation:

• Fast installation: The "puzzle" system enables rapid laying of the insulation layer without additional accessories.
• Moisture resistance: The XPS material does not absorb water, protecting the floor structure from deformations caused by dampness.
• High durability: Extruded polystyrene withstands static loads resulting from the weight of furniture and user traffic.
• Versatility: Suitable for all standard types of floating floors (laminated panels, vinyl) in combination with surface heating systems.

Logistics and Area Planning

When planning material purchases for larger projects, it is important to consider its efficiency in bulk packaging. One unit package contains 10 boards with dimensions of 1000 x 500 x 3 mm, providing a total area of 5 m² of ready-to-install material. The entire package weighs approximately 4 kg net (assuming a single board weight of 40 g).

For logistical purposes and on-site storage, palletization data is also crucial:

• In a standard pallet configuration, up to 190 pieces can be packed (equivalent to approximately 95 m² of surface area).
• For larger orders, it is possible to pack up to 760 m² of material on a single pallet (approximately 1520 pieces), optimizing bulk transport costs.
• Pallet dimensions are typically 120 x 80 x 220 cm or 120 x 120 x 220 cm, depending on the quantity of pieces, facilitating forklift maneuvering in warehouses with limited space.

These parameters allow for easy estimation of the required number of packages for a given area and enable delivery planning without the risk of material shortages during installation works.
