Heat-Sheet Heavy R10 (all regions)

"The main benefit to installing Heat-Sheet is how quick it goes in, and that it does save your crew time and money because the labor cost is half or even less (compared to installing regular, flat panels). You're putting it down just as fast as your labor can get it in because it is so natural — the product interlocks together and goes down quickly, so it does save you time and money."

Here are the potential savings you can get by simply using Heat-Sheet instead of a similarly priced flat panel:

• Vapor barrier costs — $0.06-$0.08/sq ft
  Since Heat-Sheet has an integral vapor barrier, you won’t have to purchase and install this item separately.
• Panel laying and taping costs — $0.10-$0.15/sq ft
  Heat-Sheet panels are sized for easy handling and come with a convenient interlock that will save your crew precious labor hours when laying and taping them.
• Pipe installation costs — $0.40-$0.50/sq ft
  The most substantial savings you’ll see are thanks to Heat-Sheet’s nodules that allow you to walk the PEX tubing in place. No need to bend over or go down to your knees to staples the tubes to the panels — stapling is only required at the bends. This handy feature will let you achieve notable savings on labor, as you’ll be able to cut down on the size of the crew and still lay the tubing down faster.

• Total potential savings — $0.56-$0.73/sq ft

"It's going great. We're laying about 8-10,000 feet per day with two guys. It's very easy. You don't get a sore back from (bending down) when you have to tie down the rebar. It's great stuff — I don't think I would want to do it any other way now. One guy could probably run 6,000 feet by himself if it came down to it. If we weren't using Heat-Sheet, we'd probably be laying 5,000-6,000 feet between 3-4 guys, so we're possibly doubling the footage with half the guys."
