Floating Floor Systems

RADICAL  FLOATING FLOOR SYSTEM

This is an excellent solution in cases where the floor build up depth is limited – commonly found on refurbishment projects where floor to ceiling heights are fixed and limited.

Preparation requires a flat and level solid sub floor for the insulation to support the floor finish on top.

The insulation is pre-grooved to take either 12mm or 16mm underfloor heating pipe work and overlaid with foil to assist in the distribution of heat.

• Floating floor has 18mm or 25mm insulation
• Foil overlaid to distribute heat across surface area
• Boards have pre routed channels for 12mm or 16mm pipe with returns for easy installation
• Pipe centres can be routed at 150mm or 200mm to suit.
• We can manufacture any combination of depth and size of board to suit bespoke applications
• Engineered wood/solid wood/ laminate floors can fitted directly on top
• Ceramic tiles, Carpets and Vinyls require suitable cover layer (6mm MDF or 10mm Ply)
• Heat outputs vary dependent on floor finish
  • Example assuming engineered wood floor covering
  • Assuming mean water temperature of 55 degrees C
  • Approx outputs for 16mm pipe at 200mm centers 60 to 70 W/m2
  • Approx outputs for 16mm pipe at 150mm centers 65 to 75 W/m2
  • Approx outputs for 12mm pipe at 150mm centers 6o to 70 W/m2
  • If carpet and underlay with combined TOG of 1.5 are used – outputs would reduce by 10-15 W/m2
