ULTRA CBF^TM is a patented under-concrete insulation product, comprised of a highly reflective aluminum sheet, sandwiched between two layers of industrial strength polyethylene bubbles. This unique design protects the reflective surface from corrosive chemicals and insures that an airspace is maintained for optimum thermal performance.

ULTRA CONCRETE BARRIER FOIL^TM is engineered specifically for use underneath concrete. It dramatically improves the performance of radiant heating systems and provides enhanced temperature maintenance for concrete floors.

Installing ULTRA CBF^TM can result in noticeably warmer floors, faster slab response times and reduced BTU consumption of  radiant heating systems. Sealing seams with our approved CBF Seam Tape ensures a uniform insulator and vapor barrier.

FEATURES

Can be easily installed over rough grade * Flexible and conforms well for use in slab footings * Superior bubble strength withstands jobsite traffic * Methane, Radiant, and Vapor Barrier ALL-IN-ONE * Helps direct radiant heat into the living space * Can easily be formed around plumbing, wiring, etc. * Installation is quick, Safe and Easy 

Primary Uses

Under Concrete Insulation for Radiant Heating Applications Insulation for Outside Foundation Walls Under Carpet Duct wrap for below grade HVAC

Advantages

Concrete Insulation - with or without Radiant Heating Creates an ideal under concrete insulation Is an excellent Vapor, Radon, Methane & Radiant Barrier Easy to install - Flexible - Conforms to rough grade Reflects radiant energy in the desired direction Not affected by moisture or humidity Does not promote the growth of Fungus, Bacteria or Rodents
