About this product
The ProWarm 6mm Insulation Boards – ProFoam 14 Pack (10m2) offers a straightforward solution for insulating floors where underfloor heating is in place. This pack contains fourteen rigid, closed-cell foam boards designed to minimise disruption to existing floor structures and heating systems. Each board measures 10 metres squared, providing ample coverage for an average room size – perfect for smaller bedrooms or hallways.
These ProFoam boards are constructed from a resilient foam insulation material, specifically engineered with a slim 6mm profile. This design is particularly beneficial when working alongside underfloor heating, as the reduced floor height minimizes thermal bridging and maintains efficient heat distribution. The closed-cell structure effectively resists moisture ingress, safeguarding your flooring and preventing potential damp issues – an important consideration for any flooring project.
The boards are incredibly easy to cut and shape, allowing you to tailor them precisely to your room’s dimensions. Their rigid nature provides a stable base and contributes to overall thermal performance. While offering excellent moisture protection and a low profile ideal for underfloor heating, it's worth noting that the thinner 6mm construction delivers slightly less thermal resistance compared to denser materials like PIR or mineral wool boards. This makes them an economical choice where minimising floor height is paramount.
This mid-range product provides a practical and reliable insulation solution for homeowners looking to upgrade their flooring while maintaining efficient heating performance. The 14-pack ensures you have sufficient material to complete your project efficiently, offering excellent value for money.
