Econoboard Insulation is essential for an energy efficient electric underfloor heating system. A layer of Econoboard will help prevent heat loss into the substrate and ensure faster heat-up times for the underfloor heating.

Econoboard Insulation comes in both coated and uncoated options. Econoboard Coated boards consist of a high-density extruded polystyrene core with a polymer modified fibre reinforced cement coating on both sides, whereas the Econoboard Uncoated boards are made from an XPS extruded polystyrene foam. Using the correct type of insulation board is vital for the correct floor build-up and optimal performance of your heating system.

Uncoated Econoboard boards are designed to be used over a solid, stable substrate such as a concrete substrate or cement sheeting while Coated Econoboard boards are designed for use on a timber substrate as the fibre reinforced cement coating adds strength and rigidity to the floor build-up.
