LEVELROCK RH®
LEVELROCK RH®
LEVELROCK RH® is a gypsum underlayment engineered for rapid installation over hot water tubes or electric heating cables. It acts as the thermal mass for any infloor radiant system.
DESCRIPTION
TECHNICAL DATA
LEVELROCK RH® encapsulates the tubes or cables in crack resistant, noncombustible gypsum. This unique system resists breakdown to 150ºF (66ºC). And because it’s poured only 3/4″ above the tubes or cables typically 1 1/2″ thick, the heating system is more responsive and more comfortable.
Also offered in a “Green” formulation for LEED points, LEVELROCK is an ideal solution for sustainable building projects.
