Most efficient insulation board for thickness - TilersForums.com

Hello all,

I have a very small cloakroom to do and they want electric underfloor heating. Contrete base and I have about 10mm depth I can use for insulation board below the heating. What board gives the best insulation?
Many thanks

The thicker the board the better the insulation, have a read through this gives all the u values achieved etc.

Thank you for this. Interesting stuff

Yeah the difference between having even 6mm compared to nothing is massive. But the difference in having 10mm to 6mm or 20mm to 10mm is negligible.

A 10mm marmox only has 8mm insulation too. XPS board on its own is the way I'd go.
