LoPro®Max underfloor heating
A retrofit underfloor heating system specifically designed for retrofit, whole-house projects, extensions, conservatories and properties with lower levels of insulation.
One of the highest heat outputs available and outstanding response times make LoPro®Max a perfect replacement for a radiator system. Its low height build-up – averaging just 22mm – allows LoPro®Max to be laid on top of existing floors, ideal for running from old rooms to new extensions.
LoPro®Max benefits
- Outstanding thermal conductivity – heat outputs up to 120W/m2
- Super-fast response time – can be timed and run as you would a traditional radiator system
- Just 22mm average height increase over existing floor level
- Laid over an existing floor with minimal disruption
- Simple and quick to install
- High structural and compressive strength
- One-third of the running cost of electric UFH
- Range of thermostat options – including wireless
- Perfectly level surface for tiling
- Floor coverings can be fitted after 72 hours

Performance – heat output
Nu-Heat’s LoPro®Max system offers an impressive heat output that makes it perfect for renovation projects. As a general rule, hard finishes such as tile and stone will produce the highest heat outputs followed by timber and carpet. Nu-Heat includes heat loss calculations to verify the suitability of the chosen floor finishes and ensure heat output will meet expectations for all fully designed LoPro®Max systems.
Maximum heat output figures for LoPro®Max in living areas based on 10°C differential temperature at 150mm pipe spacing:
| Flow water temperature | ||||
| Vinyl | ||||
| Natural stone/tiles | ||||
| 14mm engineered board (glued) | ||||
| 2 tog carpet/underlay | ||||
| Indicative figures for general guidance only. Bathroom and en-suites are permitted a maximum heat output of 150W/m2. |

Installing LoPro®Max
Because it’s laid on top of an existing floor, installing LoPro®Max is very simple to install.
Easy installation in 3 simple steps
Step 1: Prepare the floor
Repair the floor, filling any gaps
Fit the isolation strip and double sided tape around the edge of the rooms
Step 2: Lay the tube and connect to manifold
Lay the panel and tube and connect to manifold and pressure test
Fit the expansion strips in doorways, then the floor temperature sensors
Step 3: Mix and pour the compound
The compound is easily mixed by hand or machine
For areas over 100m², we recommend using a screed specialist

Innovative LoPro®QuickSet self-levelling compound
LoPro®QuickSet self-levelling compound has been specially developed to provide the perfect combination of strength, viscosity and finish in a formula that is exceptionally quick and easy to use. Added to which it levels uneven floors, providing a new level surface as a perfect base for ceramic tiles or high quality stone finishes.
- Provides a perfectly level floor surface ideal for laying vinyl, tile and stone floor finishes
- Fast drying time – can be walked on after just 8 hours
- QuickSet replaces the cost and time delay of screed
- Floor finishes can be fitted after 72 hours
Additional LoPro®Quickset self-levelling compound
Sufficient LoPro®QuickSet self levelling compound will always be supplied with the system to accommodate a floor height variation of +/- 2.5mm, over less than 50% of the area. Where the existing floor is uneven additional LoPro®QuickSet self-levelling compound may be required.
