ULTRA CONCRETE UNDERPAD
Available in 48" x 125' (500 sq. ft.) Rolls & Available in 72" x 125' (750 sq. ft.) Rolls
Product # 1320-48-125 / # 1320-72-125

 Ultra Concrete Underpad consists of a double layer of heavy duty polyethylene bubbles, sandwiched between a highly
 reflective surface, and a clear polyethylene surface. It is ideal for many under-slab insulation applications, as the
 reflective surface is treated with a coating designed to protect it from curing concrete. Using Ultra Concrete Underpad
 in your construction project can improve the efficiency of radiant heating systems, and significantly reduces heat loss
 to the ground below. Ultra Concrete Underpad is also an approved vapor barrier.

           FEATURES:

• Protective coating over aluminum surface
• Reduces heat loss to the ground below 
• Approved vapor barrier
• Quick, safe, and easy to install
• Available in 500 sq. ft. and 750 sq. ft. rolls
• Double bubble provides an effective thermal break

   Applications:

 • Radiant Heating Applications • Under-Slab Insulation

Ultra Board

 Ultra BOARD™ is the ultimate insulator, combining the most effective components to yield R-5 and
 R-10 solutions.
 
  • A ¼” thick industrial strength layer of bubble-pack
  • A sheet of highly reflective, metalized aluminum;
  • Laminated to a sheet of 2 lbs. density expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam.
 
 The bubble-pack layer provides an impermeable membrane that provides protection against Radon 
 and Methane transfer. It also ensures that the entire board remains intact – even if it becomes
 cracked below.

 The reflective sheet of aluminum provides a radiant barrier surface – resulting in radiant heat being
 reflected up, towards the living space. Finally, the 1” or 2” thick EPS foam component, acts as a
 thermal barrier and greatly reduces conductive heat flow.

FEATURES

• Reduces heat loss due to conduction, convection, and radiation
• Withstands jobsite traffic
• Excellent thermal break between grade and foundation
• Reflects over 57% of radiant heat

ULTRA BOARD available in these sizes
