This is a high-quality and high-density, USA-made, EPS foam board insulation specifically designed for above and below-grade radiant floor heat projects with PEX tubing or heating wire embedded into the concrete slab. 2 lb/cu. ft density is tough enough to walk on and will not crumble. For PEX radiant heat installations, PEX pipe can either be secured to the insulation board itself (using PEX foam board stapler & staples) or installed on top of the reinforcement layer (tied rebar or wire mesh) which rests on the insulation board.
Features:
Made in the USA
EPS (Expanded PolyStyrene) foam board is cheaper than XPS and outperforms it in long-term R-value retention
25 psi type, high density (2 lbs/cu. ft) slab insulation - ideal for concrete slabs with and without embedded PEX for radiant floor heating
Suitable for above-grade and below-grade installations

While PexUniverse.com reserves the legal right set its own product pricing, some
manufacturers require internet retailers to display a price at or above
manufacturer's established MAP ("Minimum Advertised Price").
Since our price for this product is lower then MAP, the manufacturer does not allow
us to display our lowest price until you place the product in the shopping cart.
This allows us to continue offering our lowest prices while staying consistent with
product manufacturer's policy.
This process does not require you to purchase the product - it can be easily
removed from shopping cart if needed.
We understand that this is an inconvenience and are continually working with
manufacturers to educate them on how MAP affects our customers.
