5 steps to installing ClipTrack^® screed underfloor heating:

1. Cover the insulation with a polythene protection layer to tank the room.
2. Fit the ClipTrack^®. This holds the heating tube at even spacing.
3. Push the UFH tube into the ClipTrack^® following the supplied design drawings.
4. Once the tube is connected back to the manifold, fill, flush and pressure test the system.
5. Pour the screed while the tube is under pressure.

5 steps to installing LoPro^®Max retrofit underfloor heating:

1. Before getting started, check the floor is in a good condition and level before priming the area.
2. Lay the self-adhesive castellated panels directly over the existing floor (this must be structural).
3. Push the UFH tube into the panels following the supplied design drawings.
4. Once the tube is connected back to the manifold, fill, flush and pressure test the system.
5. 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.

5 steps to installing LoPro^®10 retrofit underfloor heating:

1. Before getting started, check the floor is in a good condition and level before laying the gypsum boards.
2. Lay the gypsum boards in a brick bond pattern directly over the existing floor (this must be structural).
3. Glue the edges of the boards together to form a strong bond, and screw to the sub floor if laid over suspended timber or a floating floor.
4. Prime the floor where castellated panels will sit, then follow the tube layout drawings to install the underfloor heating tube.
5. Once the tube is connected back to the manifold, fill, flush and pressure test the system.

5 steps to installing ClippaPlate^® underfloor heating:

1. Feed the UFH tube through pre-notched or drilled holes in the joists.
2. Fix the ClippaPlate^® to the floor deck. This can be done from below, between the joists, or from above, straddling the joists.
3. With the plates in place, push the heating tube into the lip of the plates.
4. Once the tube is connected back to the manifold, fill, flush and pressure test the system
5. The ceiling or floor deck can now be fitted.
