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
