Thermalboard Compared to Gypcrete

Common Brand Names: Hacker Industries GYP-SPAN® Radiant, Maxxon Gyp-Crete Thermafloor

Pourable gypsum based cementitious material can be applied over tubing radiant stapled to a subfloor by licensed applicators.

In contrast, Thermalboard is easy to install, cost effective, and suitable for all flooring goods.

Complicated Installation: Gypsum applicators do not provide project design layout. Thermalboard does.
Expensive Freight: Gypsum applicators use the same big trucks required for large commercial jobs, resulting in higher costs for small to medium projects.
Not Suitable for Hardwood: A Gypsum pour surface cannot cost-effectively accommodate nailed hardwood. Thermalboard accommodates all floors goods easily.
Heavy: A gypsum pour weights 12-14 lbs./sq./ft. often affecting joist sizing
Double Plating Required: An extra plate must be installed to accommodate the extra 1.5” of gypsum thickness. Cost issue. Possible height issue. Not required with Thermalboard.
