Why Insulate a Concrete Slab with Cerazorb Underlayment
Discover the Significance of Insulating Concrete Slabs with CeraZorb® for Effective Heating
Have you ever wondered why your electric heating system isn't performing as efficiently as it should? The answer may lie in the absence of proper insulation. This video will guide you through the benefits of using CeraZorb® insulation for electric heating systems on concrete slabs.
- Importance of isolating heating cables from concrete slabs
- Demonstration of embedding CeraZorb® into thinset over a concrete slab
- Visual representation of temperature difference in insulated vs. uninsulated areas
- Explanation of how CeraZorb® aids in optimal heat distribution
- Guidance on installing CeraZorb® and seeking professional assistance
This video is valuable for both professionals and homeowners, providing a clear understanding of the need for proper insulation in ensuring efficient and optimal performance of electric heating systems. It underscores the key role that CeraZorb® plays in providing a warm, comfortable space.
Hello. Today we're going to discuss the importance of isolating your electric heating cable or electric heating mat system from a concrete slab. It's crucial not to place electric heating cables directly on top of a concrete slab, as the concrete will absorb the heat, pulling it down instead of allowing it to rise through the tile surface.
In our demonstration, we started with a bare concrete slab, which we then covered with thinset before embedding Cerazorb into it. This method effectively isolates the heating system from the concrete. I want to highlight a specific aspect of our setup: we left one corner of the room uninsulated, without any Cerazorb. The thermal image we captured clearly illustrates the temperature difference between the insulated areas and the uninsulated corner.
Upon examining the thermal image, the contrast between the two sections becomes evident. This visual representation reinforces the significance of proper insulation when installing electric heating systems.
