ClipTrack® screed underfloor heating installation – for new builds
5 steps to installing ClipTrack® screed underfloor heating:
- Cover the insulation with a polythene protection layer to tank the room.
- Fit the ClipTrack®. This holds the heating tube at even spacing.
- Push the UFH tube into the ClipTrack® following the supplied design drawings.
- Once the tube is connected back to the manifold, fill, flush and pressure test the system.
- Pour the screed while the tube is under pressure.

5 steps to installing LoPro®Max retrofit underfloor heating:
- Before getting started, check the floor is in a good condition and level before priming the area.
- Lay the self-adhesive castellated panels directly over the existing floor (this must be structural).
- Push the UFH tube into the panels following the supplied design drawings.
- Once the tube is connected back to the manifold, fill, flush and pressure test the system.
- Pour LoPro®QuickSet, the specialist self-levelling compound that is supplied with the system, whilst the tube is under pressure. The compound dries quickly – in around eight hours – and floor coverings can be fitted after 72 hours.

- Prime the floor where castellated panels will sit, then follow the tube layout drawings to install the underfloor heating tube.
- Once the tube is connected back to the manifold, fill, flush and pressure test the system.
- Pour LoPro®QuickSet, the specialist self-levelling compound that is supplied with the system, over the castellated panel whilst the tube is under pressure. The compound dries quickly – in around eight hours – and floor coverings can be fitted after 72 hours.

- The ceiling or floor deck can now be fitted.
