Therma-Floor is a gypsum underlayment designed to pour over hot water tubes or electric heating cables. It acts as the thermal mass for any radiant floor system. Therma-Floor encases the tubes or cables in crack resistant, non-combustible gypsum. Its special formula resists breakdown to 150 °F (66 °C). And because it’s poured only 1 ¼ " (32 mm) thick, the heating system is more responsive and more comfortable.

NOW ALWAYS MADE IN A GREEN FORMULATION.
