Cement Coated XPS Low Profile Underfloor Heating Kits

The panels are easy to cut and install and should be laid with the panel joints staggered in a brick bond style. The routed channels are compatible with most flexible low-pressure underfloor heating pipes. The panels are designed for use over existing floors, providing a low-height build-up and insulated floor.

These overlay panels are made from high-density XPS (300 kPa), which is thermally insulating, lightweight, waterproof, and faced with a reinforced cement coating. The panels offer a quick and easy solution for the placement of pipework in both domestic and commercial underfloor heating applications. The lightweight, reinforced cement facing provides a robust surface that is ideal for direct bonding of tiles. Many other types of finish, such as engineered wood, carpet, vinyl, etc. can also be used with additional preparation of the panels.

SUITABLE FOR
The Cement Board is suitable for both new construction and retrofit installations. In most situations, no additional board is needed, and flooring can be laid directly on the upper surface. Wood flooring should be installed using a suitable underlay as per the manufacturer's instructions. Flooring-grade tiles can be applied using a suitable combed tile adhesive layer.

For other types of finishes, a separating layer of Construction Board may be needed before proceeding with the installation.

INSTALLATION
These Cement Boards allow for quick installation over a flat, level subfloor. They can also be applied over various other substrates, provided they are fully supported and, where necessary, used in conjunction with a damp-proof membrane (DPM).

• TIMBER BASE
  When installing on timber surfaces, the panels should always be secured with mechanical fixings and washers. The fixings must be of an appropriate length for the specific application.
  
  
• CONCRETE BASE
  For installations directly onto concrete, the boards should be adhered using a layer of combed tile adhesive (S1 or equivalent). In some cases, mechanical fixings may also be required depending on the substrate.
