Our 6mm XPS Insulation Boards are specifically designed for use with Fastwarm® electric underfloor heating systems on concrete or screeded substrates. They’re ideal for projects where minimising floor height is important, without compromising on thermal efficiency.
The Fastwarm® XPS boards are engineered to handle compression strengths up to 30 tonnes per m² while remaining extremely lightweight and easy to install—making them a cost-effective and high-performance choice for insulation under tiles or floating floors.
- Approved by Ultra Tile – Fully compatible with flexible adhesives.
- Excellent Thermal Performance – Just 0.031 W/mK conductivity.
- Compact 6mm Thickness – Ideal for minimal build-up heights.
- Excellent Sound Insulation – Helps reduce noise transmission.
- Precision Cut – Easily trimmed on site with a utility knife.
- Generous Coverage – Each board measures 1200mm x 600mm (0.72m²).
- Lightweight & Durable – High strength, easy handling.
Installation Guidance
The Fastwarm® XPS insulation boards can be used beneath both tiled flooring and floating floor installations (such as laminate or engineered wood). However, installation methods will vary depending on the type of flooring and subfloor surface.
Undertile Installations:
Fix boards to the subfloor using a suitable flexible tile adhesive. When tiling over a timber subfloor, we recommend using our dedicated Fastwarm® Tile Backer Boards, which can be mechanically fixed in addition to being bonded with flexible adhesive.
Underwood Installations:
Lay the XPS insulation boards directly onto a clean, dry, and level subfloor in a brickbond pattern. Secure the joints using our heat-resistant Fastwarm® Duct Tape for added stability beneath floating floor finishes.
Please note: Boards are supplied in black. Blue colour shown in some images is for illustration only.
