Build energy efficient structures from the ground up by using revolutionary ESP LOW-E SlabShield. Developed with the same ESP LOW-E energy efficient technology that goes into all LOW-E Insulation products, SlabShield offers unique benefits not found in other under slab products. LOW-E SlabShield is engineered to not only prevent heat transfer from ground to slab but also to provide a vapor barrier that protects basements from excess moisture.

ESP LOW-E  SlabShield is designed with a layer of closed-cell polyethylene applied to both sides of a sheet of .999 pure aluminum. The closed cell foam doubles as a vapor barrier and a protection for the aluminum against chemical reaction with fresh concrete. LOW-E SlabShield is puncture resistant up to 93 psi and cruch resistant up to 70 psi. Unlike other rigid under slab insulation, LOW-E SlabShield adjusts and molds itself to the contours of the grade providing a better and stronger concrete pour.

ESP LOW-E SlabShield is easy to apply. It is lightweight and cuts easily with a utility knife. LOW-E SlabShield comes in rolls with innovative inter-locking tabs that provide a perfect seam when using several rolls side by side.

BENEFITS OF ESP LOW-E SLABSHIELD:
  • Decreases slab response time
  • Excellent vapor barrier
  • Interlocking tabs
  • Convenient and lightweight
  • Puncture resistance of 93 psi
  • Crush resistance of 70 psi
  • Closed cell foam (not bubble packaging)
