Therma-Floor is a gypsum underlayment designed by Maxxon
® Corporation specifically for radiant floor heating systems. Poured over hot water tubes or electric heating cables, it's the ideal thermal mass for any radiant floor system.
Therma-Floor encases the tubes or cables in crack-resistant, noncombustible gypsum, specially formulated to resist breakdown to 150º F (66º C). Poured only 1-1/4" (32mm) thick, Therma-Floor also makes your heating system more responsive and your home more comfortable.
Some radiant systems install under plywood subfloors. But plywood is nearly 4 times more insulative than Therma-Floor, resulting in lost heat. Therma-Floor does its work above the subfloor, for greater efficiency and consistent comfort.
Why a radiant floor heating system isn't complete without Therma-Floor:
- Resists heat deterioration it's formulated specifically for radiant floor heating.
- Enhances heating system responsiveness due to its thin thermal mass.
- Provides a smooth, tough surface.
- Stiffens the floor and won't shrink crack.
- Seals perimeter walls, keeping out baseboard drafts.
- Eliminates squeaks and nail pops common to wood underlayments.
- Muffles sound transfer.
- Backed by a nationwide applicator network with over three billion square feet of experience.
- Accepts virtually all floor coverings.
- Contains no urea formaldehyde.
