Low-E introduces new flooring and carpet underlayments

2/20/2018

ESP Low-E has introduced two new flooring underlayment systems designed to add a heat, sound and vapor barrier to any type of flooring system.



Therm E Pad Carpet Underlayment (for carpeted applications) and Therm E Pad Flooring Underlayment (for hardwood, laminate and LVT applications) are made from Low-E, a patented reflective insulation created by heat-bonding a pure aluminum facing to closed cell, non-toxic polyethylene foam.


The Therm E Pad products provide a buffer against sound, add a vapor barrier between subfloor and floor, are non-toxic, resist off-gassing, and are built to smooth out subfloor imperfections.


They can be installed with tape, staples and a utility knife.


They also provide a moisture barrier, preventing moisture transfer from the ground to flooring, or from surface-level spills into the subflooring.


Low-E can be used as insulation in walls, ceilings, under roofing, and in other structural applications.
