Floor Construction detail

The biggest challenge to installing underfloor heating in an existing building is often height build-up. Nu-Heat already has several options that can be fitted between the joists if the existing floor deck is taken up, and we have now developed LoPro10™, a floating floor with minimal height build up and excellent thermal properties that can be fitted on top of the existing floor deck.

Features

• 15mm depth before floor coverings are fitted
  
  
• Rapid heat up in comparison to traditional screed UFH – one third, or less, of the thermal mass
  
  
• High thermal output due to low thermal resistance on top – e.g. floating floors under 18mm chipboard have drastically reduced heat output
  
  
• 10mm ultra flexible PEX-c pipework is easily laid in the grooved panels in lengths of up to 60m
  
  
• Provides airborne acoustic reduction on timber upper floors by adding mass –15.5kg/m²
  
  
• Unique Fastrack™ clips enable 10mm PEX-c to be closely laid up to 10 abreast, enabling easy run back to the manifold, something that most floating UFH systems fail to achieve

Benefits

• Dense rigid thermal gypsum board can be tiled on directly – no requirement for a ply layer to be pre-fixed over chipboard floors
  
  
• Can be overlaid with 4-6mm plywood for direct carpeting giving a very low height build-up
  
  
• Engineered wood floors can be ‘floated’ directly over the panel – quickly and easily without battening
  
  
• Feels solid underfoot unlike many lightweight floating floors
