PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

ThermalStar® Radiant Comfort™ floor panels are precision molded from expanded polystyrene with a distinct orange color. The insulation panels form a firm base for water heated radiant floors. Benefits to using Radiant Comfort™ include:

No stapling required– the groove channels hold the tubing right in place No professional design or shop drawings needed Eliminate the hassle with using left, right, and straight panels– one panel is used for the entire installation

New construction panels interlock for a secure placement and to prevent concrete from seeping through the joints in heated slab applications

Radiant Comfort™ Floor Panels

INSTALLATION/HANDLING ThermalStar Radiant Comfort can be handled much the same as wood sheath-ing, using similar tools or simple utility knives to cut, score, shape, or otherwise customize panels to fit the application.

THERMAL RESISTANCE R means resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power.

WARRANTY ThermalStar Radiant Comfort floor panels are backed by a limited lifetime warranty for physical and thermal performance.

FEEL THE HEAT BENEATH YOUR FEET™ ThermalStar Radiant Comfort panels are available in two types: new construction and retrofit panels. The new construction panels are designed to be installed prior to pouring a heated concrete slab. The retrofit floor panels are designed to be installed above the subfloor, and below the flooring option (hardwood floors, ceramic tiles, carpet, etc.). Since Radiant Comfort is manufactured out of EPS, it provides both a heating system template and insulation. Radiant Comfort panels save on installation time and eliminates the guesswork for professionals and home-owners alike.
