ThermalBoard EPS is a radiant heat panel designed for "sandwich" type floor heating applications, where PEX tubing is positioned between the subfloor (whether standard plywood on joists or a concrete slab) and the finished floor. Each board is 16" wide x 48" long and is comprised of a high-density 1" EPS insulating foam, MDF substrate (no VOCs, formaldehyde-free and MR30 moisture resistant) and a reflective aluminum top layer. This combination is ideal for all types of subfloors and provides not only a great R-Value of 5.2, but a basic acoustic barrier as well (very useful for homes with poor or no floor-to-floor insulation) - no need to purchase or install the foamboard panels separately. Moreover, ThermalBoard EPS been tested and proven to be both more thermally efficient and more affordable than similar options on the market. These radiant panels are ideally suited for retrofit projects where pouring a new slab for PEX or stapling the same between the joists is not possible or impractical. Single-family or multi-story, multi-family residential homes & apartment buildings are great examples. 1" EPS backing makes it possible to install ThermalBoard in basements as well. These panels are designed for use with 3/8" PEX, which is more flexible than standard 1/2" size used in radiant floor heat projects and can be spaced at only 8" apart (standard PEX spacing in ThermalBoard) - allowing for a more even heat distribution and fewer cold spots. The panel comes in only (2) options - straight and return (U-turn) combi, which makes design and installation a breeze comparing to other brands. ThermalBoard can be adhered to the subfloor using readily-available construction adhesive and screws (or cross-stapled - see manual for details).
NOTE 1: there's a mimum purchase requirement of 75 pcs of ThermalBoard EPS 1" (any mix of straight and return/U-turn panels). If you require less than 75 panels total - please contact us for a separate quote.
NOTE 2: Need an estimate? Its free - just send us your floor plan with highlighted areas which need to be heated. Need a professional layout design for ThermalBoard (indicates panel layout and placement, PEX tubing loops, manifold locations, etc.) ? Just add the part# TB-DESIGN to the cart (qty much match the sqft of the floor where panels are to be installed). See product photos or literature for sample design.
Features:
Made in the USA
Excellent alternative to WarmBoard® R Panel (over 70% better price per sqft, lower profile and more even heat transfer)
Excellent alternative to Uponor® Quik Trak® (panel costs less per sqft, 3/8" PEX costs ~4 times less than 5/16" PEX)
Free estimates, professional layout design service is available (optional)
Ideal for concrete floors - integrated 1" thick EPS foam insulation provides an effective thermal break
EPS foam also creates an acoustic barrier between floors and dampens sound from walking/conversations, etc.
Only (2) panels - straight and return, no guesswork, no complicated pieces
Easy installation - simply walk the pipe in, no special tools needed (rubber mallet recommended for U-turns)
Made with formaldehyde-free, no VOCs, high density MDF - meets MR30 moisture resistance specs & LEED v4 criteria
Can be cut to size as needed with standard circular, table or jig saw
Compatible with Everhot and other brands of PEX tubing and manifolds (Uponor, Viega, Zurn, Caleffi, etc.)
Technical Specifications:
For Use w/ PEX Size: 3/8" (any type or brand)

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.
