Rapid Installation

A major benefit of using the Profix^® Panel as an end-return panel is positioning the 180° pipe bends, and any flow and return pipework to and from the manifold, becomes very straightforward, avoiding the extra effort and mess associated with routing additional pipe channels into the dry screed replacement boards themselves.

Once the pipework has been clipped into the Profix^® End-Return Panels, and the system pressure tested to ensure there are no leaks, Profix^® Levelling Compound (or equivalent) is mixed and poured over them and then smoothed to finish flush with the surface of the grooved dry screed replacement overlay boards.

Floor Coverings

The Profix^® Grooved Screed Board System is a very low-profile, primarily ‘dry-fit’, warm-water underfloor heating solution suitable for a wide range of floor coverings. For tiles and engineered wood, overall system height starts at just 18mm, and for carpet and luxury vinyl (LVT) floor coverings, at just 23mm (18mm plus an addition 5mm layer of Profix^® Levelling Compound).

Tiles or Engineered Wood

Tiles or engineered wood can be installed directly over the Profix^® Grooved Screedboard System. However, the Profix^® End-Return Panels must first be infilled using Profix^® Levelling Compound and smoothed to finish flush with the surface of the grooved screedboard. Once dry, when laying tiles, the entire floor area must then be primed using Profix^® Acrylic Primer to completely seal the surface before applying the tile adhesive.

Carpet or Luxury Vinyl

Before laying carpet or luxury vinyl (LVT), the Profix^® End-Return Panels must first be infilled using Profix^® Levelling Compound and smoothed to finish flush with the surface of the grooved screedboard. Once dry, the entire floor area must be primed using Profix^® Acrylic Primer to completely seal the surface, followed by a 5mm layer of Profix^® Levelling Compound in order to create a smooth and level surface ready for the floor coverings and to ensure sufficient point load resistance is achieved.
