PolyFloor - Surface Bed Insulation Boards For Floor Slabs


Luxury homes and buildings should all have insulated concrete floor slabs and if underfloor heating is going to be installed then it is a building requirement to insulate the concrete slab before you cast it!


Insulating your concrete floor slab, before you cast it, really does make a huge difference to the overall thermal insulation of your home or building year-round!


There is nothing worse than getting out of bed on a cold winter's morning and stepping directly onto a cold floor. PolyFloor insulation boards stop the cold soil below your concrete slab from cooling the concrete floor slab itself.


If underfloor heating is going to be installed then PolyFloor Insulation is essential because there is no point in heating the concrete floor slab and the cold soil below the floor slab.


Our PolyFloor insulation boards ensure that only the concrete slab is being heated and when the slab is at the right temperature then the insulation boards keep the slab at that temperature which in turn reduces the amount of electricity that is required to maintain a constant floor temperature.


So not only do our PolyFloor insulation boards regulate room temperature year round but they also save you a ton of electricity heating costs during the year.


The cost of installing these boards, before you cast your floor slab, is so insignificant compared to the huge luxury and cost savings it provides to building owners in the long run.


Obviously the thicker the boards the more insulation you get so invest wisely and choose your thickness well.


Thermal Insulation R-Value Requirements:


To get the required thermal insulation R-Value of 1, in terms of South African Building Regulations, you need a minimum board thickness of 40mm but the thicker you go the more insulation you get.


Recommended Thickness:


We recommend 40mm or 50mm PolyFloor Insulation Boards In South Africa to meet the minimum thermal insulation requirement (R-Value of 1) in residential buildings but often clients choose to install thicker boards for more insulation.

How To Install PolyFloor Insulation Boards


  • First, the brick foundation walls are built.
  • The soil is then placed and compacted.
  • A DPC plastic layer is then placed on the compacted soil.
  • The polystyrene is then cut and laid tightly on top of the plastic layer.
  • Steel mesh is then placed on top of the polystyrene insulation layer with spacers.
  • The 80 to 100mm concrete slab is then poured on top of the polystyrene insulation layer.
