Decoration materials must choose the one with the best environmental protection. This is the consensus reached by users when choosing materials when decorating. In order to ensure the environmental protection of decoration materials, users generally make a series of strategies, such as if the custom wardrobe can use solid wood multi-layer boards as much as possible, if the wooden floor can be made of solid wood floor , try not to use laminate floor or laminate floor , paint can be made of environmentally friendly paint from big brands, never use cheap paint from small brands, etc.
Floor heating has become a measure for many families to resist the severe cold in winter. It is gradually becoming popular in the south, and floor heating has also become an important measure to improve the comfort of life. The environmental protection of floor heating materials will also affect the health of the family. insulation board is one of the most basic materials in floor heating structures. Its environmental protection is easily ignored by users. After all, insulation boards are installed below the ground. However, the environmental protection of floor heating insulation boards is very important. Low-quality insulation boards are more likely to evaporate harmful substances, making the harmful substances in the room exist for a longer time and have a greater impact on the health of the family.
Features of high-quality and inferior floor heating insulation boards
The insulation board used for floor heating greatly affects the environmental protection of floor heating materials, and the environmental protection of insulation boards depends on the raw materials for making them.
In order to save costs and increase profits, some insulation board manufacturers have obtained the raw materials of insulation boards by recycling plastics, especially in areas where floor heating is immature. The raw materials may also be garbage recycled or medical waste plastics. After a large amount of color masterbing, fluorescent agent , plasticizing agent and other chemical reagents, they are made into inferior insulation boards. This type of insulation board has poor insulation ability, poor compression resistance, short service life, and it is dissipated as soon as you pinch it. The finished products produced often have harmful substances such as formaldehyde and TVOC exceeding the standard. During the long-term use of floor heating, it always threatens the health of your family.
Big brand insulation board manufacturers pay more attention to reputation, quality and environmental protection. The raw materials used in the production of insulation boards will use brand new materials with better quality, and combine the environmentally friendly carbon dioxide foaming technology to make insulation boards. This type of insulation board has good insulation effect, good compression resistance, long service life, and has certain toughness. The overall performance is better than the standards of related industries. An insulation board with good environmental protection and qualified performance not only meets the environmental protection indicators of national standards, but more importantly, it can effectively reduce the energy consumption of floor heating and is also beneficial to the health of family members.
How to tell whether it is an insulation board made of brand new materials or a thermal board made of recycled plastic?
There are many brands of floor heating insulation boards on the market, and the color difference is not large. Therefore, many users cannot easily distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of insulation boards. In fact, we can distinguish them by taking photos, smelling, burning, and measuring.

The insulation board made of new materials is myopia transparent. Use white light to stick to the insulation board. The white light passes through the insulation board and appears white. The visible aperture is larger and has better light transmission. However, the insulation board made of recycled plastic has more impurities inside it, which is easy to appear to be impermeable or the color will change even if light passes through. It can be seen that the aperture is yellower and the edges are smaller.
Smell
Smell the smell of the insulation board is a relatively direct way to distinguish it. The smell of the insulation board made of brand new materials is mainly based on plastic smell; while the insulation board made of recycled plastic is mixed with a very heavy pungent smell after it is broken.
Furious
Water fire is the main way for many materials to distinguish environmental protection. You can use the external flame of the lighter to burn the insulation board to observe the changes of the insulation board. The combustion surface of the insulation board made of brand new materials is very delicate, and it is bright and clean in the state and has less carbonization; while the combustion surface of the insulation board made of recycled plastic is rough, and the color is yellow, with impurities agglomerated.
Test
High professional method can use fluorescent lamps to illuminate the surface of the insulation board. The insulation board made of brand new materials does not contain fluorescent agent, and the color of the area irradiated by fluorescent light is the primary color; while the insulation board made of recycled plastic will basically add fluorescent agent, and the color of the area irradiated by fluorescent light is blue-purple, and even reflective phenomena occur.
summary
Although a new house is decorated with a lot of environmentally friendly materials, thereby reducing the harmful substances caused by decoration, in order to protect the health of the family, it is easier for users to choose large brands of environmentally friendly materials. The insulation board of floor heating is an auxiliary material for floor heating systems. Many users do not know about it, and the environmental protection of the insulation board exceeds the standard. The above four methods can determine whether the raw materials of the insulation board are qualified. At the same time, the insulation board of large brands will have a complete environmental monitoring report. When purchasing, users can ask for an environmental protection test report, or they can compare and verify the environmental protection of the insulation board materials with multiple materials, so as to choose an insulation board with better environmental protection.
