Bubble Foil Insulation for Concrete Slabs Video | InfraStop®
Affordable Concrete Slab Bubble Foil Insulation from InsulationStop.com
This 16,000 square foot building was completed in three pours. The installation of the insulation took approximately three hours with three people. Located in rural southern Illinois, this new metal building equipped with geothermal heat and insulated slab will provide years of affordable service.
For use in under slab and in floor radiant heat applications, our layered bubble foil insulation is an economical alternative to rigid foam board insulation. It costs less and installs faster. It’s easier to handle and transport. It installs well on rough grade.
Our concrete slab insulation also replaces the need for a stand alone vapor barrier and when the seams are taped is an approved radon barrier. We can make product in standard 48″ roll widths right up to 10′ so you can easily and quickly insulate any job. Larger roll widths mean faster installations.

We’re building in St Anthony Idaho where the coldest average monthly low is 9 degrees but it’s not uncommon to have minus 20. The most common insulation in this area for radiant floor heating is the 2″ 4×8 sheets of rigid insulation. I like the ease of installing the double bubble rolls but am concerned that the R value may not be enough in our climate. What is your recommendation for cold weather?
The highest R-value is achieved with 2″ (or more) rigid insulation. Used in conjunction with our concrete pad will provide a more efficient installation but we would not recommend using the concrete pad only for your primary residence. Check your local codes as they should give you an idea of the minimum allowed R-value. If this was an outbuilding than our recommendation would be different from a return on investment perspective.
