The EkoBoard XPS thermal insulation panels are ideal for homeowners and installers looking to maximize the efficiency of underfloor heating systems on solid base floors. By providing a high-performance thermal barrier, these boards significantly reduce heat loss into the subfloor, resulting in faster warm-up times and lower monthly energy costs. While these panels offer exceptional insulation, they require a level and dry subfloor surface to ensure optimal structural integrity and performance throughout the lifespan of the installation.

They are primarily designed for solid base floors and tile installations; check your flooring manufacturer's requirements for compatibility.
It is recommended to use a thin layer of flexible adhesive to secure the boards to the subfloor to prevent any movement over time.
The boards can be easily cut using a standard utility knife and a straight edge or metal ruler.
While they are moisture-resistant, they are not intended to act as a primary damp-proof membrane.
The high-density XPS foam is specifically engineered for floor applications and maintains its structural integrity under standard domestic furniture loads.
Ensure the subfloor was leveled with a self-leveling compound before laying the insulation boards.
Verify that all panels are tightly fitted with no gaps that could lead to thermal bridging.
Use a sharp, fresh utility knife blade and a straight edge guide to achieve precise, clean cuts.
To install, ensure your concrete or solid base floor is completely clean, dry, and free of debris. Use a standard utility knife to score and cut the panels to the desired size. Lay the panels in a staggered pattern, ensuring tight joints to maintain a consistent thermal seal across the entire floor. For best results, use a compatible floor adhesive to secure the panels to the subfloor. Once laid, you can install your heating mats and flooring finish according to the manufacturer's specific instructions. Maintain a stable indoor environment and avoid exposing the boards to harsh solvents that could degrade the foam structure.
