Underfloor Heating Fixing Methods

Our castellated matting panels are interlocking vacuum formed sheets of recycled plastic which incorporate pipe-locating castles. Sheets are laid over the sub floor, thermally insulated in accordance with Building Regulations, overlapping the edges by 75mm and interlocking them to form a continuous layer. Castellated sheets are useful where there is a restricted floor depth. InvaHeat 16mm pipework is clipped into the panels and the installation is complete and ready for the specified screed to be laid.

The aluminum spreader plate system is an ideal solution for a suspended timber floor both upstairs or downstairs. The spreader plates fix the joists and have preformed channels built in to take the pipe and also help radiate the heat from the pipe to space above it. The finished floor can be laid directly over the spreader plates.

The structured plastic panel, when combined with a low profile quick drying self levelling screed and a warm water underfloor heating system, provides a unique low thickness/high heat output floor heating solution for both new build and retro fit projects. This revolutionary new system can deliver high heat outputs even at relatively low water temperatures, which makes it an ideal solution for use with heat pumps.

This is identical to the rapid Rail & Clip system only it does not use the rapid rails. This means that you must work our the spacings manually. Normally to use this method a staple gun is a good idea as there will be a high volume of staples to fix to keep all the pipe secure to the insulation.

This is the most common system installed in new build properties where the floor is being laid is a screed solution. The installer simply covers the insulation boards with polyurethane sheets, removes the sticky cover on the back of the rapid rails and then lays them out parallel to one of the walls keeping one meter between each row. They then lay the pipe down onto the surface clipping it to the rails as it passes over the rails in a configuration detailed in the installation instructions provided.

Our pre-grooved cement boards offer an ideal fast-fit, 18mm floor build up with a high output underfloor heating system. Used in conjunction with our structural plastic floor panel at either end of the room to enable turning and routing of pipe this unique system can be installed directly onto both screed or wood floors.

This is an ideal solution where you have the available floor to ceiling height to have a 50mm floor build up. It provides the best thermal insulation to prevent heat from transferring downwards. Effectively four products in one, these Insulation Panels comprise a rigid thermal insulation material with grooves positioned in the upper surface.
