TECHNICAL DATA SHEET T DS ISI BUILDING PRODUCTS ® 866.698.6562 / WWW.ISIBP.COM DIVISION UNDER-SLAB INSULATION 0700 PRODUCT NAME PRODUCT NAME: Redi-Foam® Radiant Floor Panels 1 MANUFACTURER ISI BUILDING PRODUCTS Insulation Solutions, Inc. 401 Truck Haven Road, East Peoria Illinois 61611 Phone: 866.698.6562 / Fax: 309.698.0065 / www.isibp.com 2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 3.1 BASIC USE Redi-Foam panel for radiant heating has been specifically designed to provide the most cost effective installation and performance characteristics for hydronic radiant floor heating systems. 3.2 COMPOSITION & MATERIALS Redi-Foam consists of expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation, manufactured with technologically advanced automated EPS molding equipment and molded into a high impact polystyrene film. The polystyrene film provides friction and flexural strength, preventing slippage and ensuring less damage to the panel. This film acts as a vapor barrier on the panel. Each Redi-Foam panel is designed with “mushroom shape” panel nubs to lock PEX tubing easily and firmly in place. Each Redi-Foam panel is equipped with interlocking system for simple, secure fastening. 3.3 SIZE Standard Size: 2’ x 4’ Standard Offering: R-10 Residential Offerings: R-10, R-12, R-14, R-16 Commercial Offerings: R-11, R-13, R-14, R-16 3.4 WEIGHT R-10: 3 lbs. per sheet 3 4.1 APPLICABLE STANDARDS ASTM D 1622 Standard Test Method for Apparent Density of Rigid Cellular Plastics ASTM C 518-10 Standard Test Method for Steady-State Thermal Transmission Properties by Means of the Heat Flow Meter Apparatus ASTM D 1621-10 Standard Test Method for Compressive Properties of Rigid Cellular Plastics ASTM C 203-05a Standard Test Methods for Braking Load and Flexural Properties of Block-type Thermal Insulation ASTM E 96E/96M Standard Test Methods for Water Vapor Transmission of Materials. INSTALLATION PREPARATION 5.1 Determine the number of Redi-Foam Panels. Each panel measures 29” x 49” with a usable 2’ x 4’ (8 sq. ft.) area per panel. Measure total square foot of installation area and divide by 8 to calculate the number of panels. Redi-Foam accommodates 3/8”, 1/2”, 5/8”, 3/4” and 1” PEX tubing. Designed to accommodate a 3” on-center pattern, the design layout will need to use the same 3” on-center and multiples. 5.2 Ensure sub-base is smooth, compacted and at proper grade. 5.3 Check your local building codes to see if a vapor barrier is required. If so, install barrier prior to beginning your project. PLACEMENT 5.4 Start in the far left corner, working from left to right, lay panel so the exposed interlock is to the right and forward. NOTE: The panels may be laid lengthwise or widthwise along the outer wall. Continue to lay panels, ensuring they interlock, snug and aligned. At the end of the row, you may need to cut the final panel to fit properly. 5.5 Install the next row with a staggered pattern (having neither rows nor columns of panels) to keep installation tightly bound and more durable with less waste. Starting in the left corner, use excess piece cut from the last panel on the first row or cut a new panel in half. Place the second row panel ensuring interlocks are snug and panels are properly aligned. 5 VERSION 17.1 TECHNICAL DATA 4

Redi-Foam accommodates 3/8”, 1/2”, 5/8”, 3/4” and 1” PEX tubing.

Designed to accommodate a 3” on-center pattern, the design layout will need to use the same 3” on-center and multiples.

5.2 Ensure sub-base is smooth, compacted and at proper grade.

R-VALUE: R MEANS RESISTANCE TO HEAT FLOW. THE HIGHER THE R-VALUE, THE GREATER THE INSULATING POWER. COMPARE INSULATION R-VALUES BEFORE PURCHASE. FACTORS TO CONSIDER: AMOUNT OF INSULATION NEEDED DEPENDS ON CLIMATE, FUEL SAVINGS FROM INSULATION DEPENDS ON CLIMATE, TYPE/SIZE OF HOME, AMOUNT OF EXISTING INSULATION IN HOME, FUEL USE PATTERNS AND FAMILY SIZE. TO GET THE MARKED R-VALUE, IT IS ESSENTIAL THIS INSULATION BE INSTALLED PROPERLY.

5.6 Continue to place the rows of panels, maintaining a staggered running bond layout.

NOTE: I t may be necessary to cut the panels to accommodate columns or walls. It may be necessary to glue the panels. Use construction adhesive compatible with foam insulation.

5.7 Install the PEX tubing by walking it into the nubs of the panels according to your design layout; Redi-Foam insulated radiant PEX panels are specifically designed to properly seat the tubing and ensure the concrete is properly encased.
