Rapid Drying Times

One of the core benefits of combining the Profix^® Panel with a cement-based quick drying levelling compound is that drying times are significantly reduced compared to other wet screed systems. Thanks to its ultra-low-profile, the levelling compound dries rapidly, with light foot traffic possible after just 4 hours (in good drying conditions). Final floor coverings can be applied after just 24 hours, (depending on your final floor covering).

Floor Coverings

The Profix^® Panel can be used to create an ultra-low-profile screed underfloor heating system suitable for a wide range of different floor coverings. Due to its extremely low profile, in good drying conditions the levelling compound dries in just 4 hours. No over-boarding is required, meaning you can simply lay your final floor covering directly on top. The minimum required underfloor heating screed depth depends on the final floor covering chosen, whether that be tiles, engineered wood, carpet, or vinyl.

Tiles or Engineered Wood

For tiles or engineered wood floor coverings, a minimum underfloor heating screed depth of 15mm will be required. At this depth the screed will only just cover the upper surface of the Profix^® panels.

Carpet or Luxury Vinyl

For carpet or vinyl floor coverings, a minimum underfloor heating screed depth of 18mm will be required. At this depth the screed will cover the upper surface of the Profix^® panels by a minimum of 3mm which is necessary for sufficient point load resistance to be achieved.
