Heat Transfer Plates For Underfloor Heating
Aluminium Heat Diffuser Plates are a great addition to warm-water underfloor heating systems, helping diffuse heat across the entire heated floor area. Our Profix® Heat Diffuser System is available in a premium version for increased heat outputs and even faster response times.
In this premium version of the system, highly thermally conductive T & G dry screed replacement boards are laid directly on top of the heat diffuser plates. In addition to optimising heat transfer, this allows either a tiled, vinyl, or thin laminate floor to be bonded directly on top, or for a low TOG carpet & underlay to be laid over it.

Floor Coverings
The high structural integrity of the Profix® Panels enables T & G dry screed replacement boards to be laid over them as a floating floor. The Profix® Heat Diffuser Plates increase heat output and help to spread the heat more evenly and quickly. The use of more thermally conductive T & G dry screed replacement boards will further optimise heat output and enables a wide range of different final floor coverings to be applied. Tiles, luxury vinyl / linoleum, or laminate flooring can be bonded to the dry screed replacement boards for a fast and efficient installation. Alternatively, a low TOG carpet and underlay can be laid.
Tiles or Laminate Flooring
When bonding Tiles or Laminate Flooring onto T & G dry screed replacement boards the surface should first be primed using a suitable acrylic dispersion primer before applying a decoupling layer and cement-based tile adhesive, or before applying laminate flooring adhesive.
Carpet or Luxury Vinyl
Low TOG Carpet & Underlay or Luxury Vinyl can be laid onto the T & G dry screed replacement boards. However, when laying Luxury Vinyl, the surface of the boards should first be primed using a suitable acrylic dispersion primer and a thin skim-coat of Profix® Levelling Compound applied to obscure any joints and provide a completely smooth and level surface.
