Amber Edge Insulation
Amber Edge Insulation is a premium perimeter insulation strip designed to create a reliable expansion and insulation barrier between internal walls and the screed layer in solid floor constructions. Supplied in a convenient 50m roll, it is an essential component for any underfloor heating installation, helping to maintain system efficiency and protect the screed as it expands and contracts.
Why Use Underfloor Heating Edge Insulation?
During the heating cycle, screed naturally expands. Without a suitable expansion strip, this movement can lead to cracking, heat loss, and long‑term structural issues. Amber Edge Insulation provides a flexible, durable buffer that absorbs this movement while reducing thermal bridging around the perimeter of the room.
Where to Install Amber Edge Insulation
For optimal performance, the insulation strip should be installed:
- Around all perimeter walls of the room
- Along fixed construction elements such as steps, columns, access doors, and thresholds
- Anywhere the screed meets a rigid vertical surface
This ensures the screed can expand freely and evenly, improving the lifespan and efficiency of the underfloor heating system.
Key Benefits
- Creates a free expansion zone for screed floors
- Reduces heat loss at the edges of the room
- Helps prevent cracking and structural stress
- Quick and easy to install
- Suitable for all solid screeded floor constructions
Ideal for Underfloor Heating Installations
Amber Edge Insulation is specifically designed to complement electric and water‑based underfloor heating systems. By maintaining a consistent thermal envelope, it supports better heat distribution and overall system performance.
