WIB / Coated insulation XPS boards

Warmup Insulation Boards (WIB)

Warmup Insulation Boards are water-resistant tile backer boards crafted from extruded polystyrene, featuring fiberglass mesh on both sides, embedded in a thin cement polymer mortar. They are designed to enhance energy efficiency and provide effective waterproofing and soundproofing.

Advantages:

• Increased Energy Efficiency: Reduce heat-up time by up to 90%, significantly lowering energy costs.
• Strong Yet Flexible: Capable of withstanding a load of 30 tonnes per square metre while being easily cut to fit various room shapes.
• Waterproof and Soundproof: Ideal for waterproofing applications in bathrooms and kitchens, while also offering soundproofing benefits.
• High Thermal Insulation: High R-values create an effective barrier against cold rising from the subfloor.

Applications:

• Enhanced Heating Efficiency: Using WIB with floor heating minimizes heat-up times and operating costs, preventing heat loss into the substrate below.
• Direct Tile Application: The boards allow for direct tile installation without prior preparation, making them perfect for wet areas like bathrooms and showers.

Best Suited For:

• Warmup Insulation Boards are crucial for optimizing heating systems, minimizing heat loss through cold slabs or drafty crawl spaces.
• Made from extruded polystyrene foam and coated with fiberglass and concrete, these boards are just ¼” thick yet exceptionally strong and load-bearing, easily cut with a utility knife for quick installation.
• Exclusively designed for bathrooms and showers, they are completely watertight, providing a 92% thermal break from the cold subfloor, ensuring the highest operational efficiency for your floor heating system.
• Compared to traditional systems, installations with WIB heat up 78% faster and are 71% more energy-efficient.
