Benefits
Underfloor heating
Energy saving
When applied to underfloor heating, Space Reflex reflective insulation allows for energy savings as it maintains the floor temperature, preventing heat losses, which translates into a shorter heating use time and consequently energy savings.
Parquet
No irregularities or unevenness
There is no risk of irregularities or unevenness in the applied parquet, due to the total unalteration of the Space Reflex material.
Exterior floors
Extra protection
For extra protection on exterior floors (terraces) Space Reflex insulation could be applied with a layer of geotextile (+/- 150 g/m2 over the existing waterproofing).
Thermal and acoustic insulation
No impact noise
Space Reflex insulation presents an effective solution for thermal and acoustic insulation against impact noise.
APPLICATION
How to apply
APPLICATION
Necessary tools
The only tools needed are a cutter, aluminium tape and some fastening materials.
STEP BY STEP
Application process
Application of the Space Reflex insulation.
01 > For the application of the Space Reflex insulation in concrete slab floors, underfloor heating or outdoor floors, Space Reflex insulation should be placed on a completely clean surface and, if possible, without elements (small stones) that could damage it.
02 > You should extend Space Reflex insulation across the entire surface of the floor, overlapping each strip about 10 to 15 cm.
03 >Along the walls, the product should go up to the height of the skirting to prevent thermal and acoustic bridges. After application of the insulation and, where appropriate, radiant heating is applied on the floor, respecting the manufacturer’s installation rules. Then proceed to fill the floor with screed reinforced with wire mesh 3 to 5 cm thick, with 4 spaces of 20 cm and finishing of the same.
04 > For the application of the Space Reflex insulation on floating floors, the product should be spread over the entire surface of the floor, overlapping each strip by approximately 10 cm.

Important considerations
INSTALLATION
Respect the rules
Reflective insulation, as with any other thermal insulation, must comply with installation standards, so as not to compromise the effectiveness of SPACE REFLEX insulation.
HEALTH
Radon gas
Insulations accredited as a barrier to radon gas are also available. Exposure to radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer after tobacco.
