Fast Installation

One of the major benefits of the Profix^® PLUS Pipe in Flowing Screed System is its rapid installation.

Each self-adhesive backed Profix^® PLUS Panel features multiple pipe retention clips. These hold your 14-17mm diameter pipe securely in place, with pipe centres starting at 50mm and increasing in 50mm increments. Additionally, purpose made locking features fasten the panels together.

The unique design of the panels enables the screed to bond directly to the supporting sub-floor, resulting in a very low system build-up (as thin as 20mm). This creates a high heat output, fast response warm-water underfloor heating system even at low water temperatures, making it an ideal solution with heat pumps.

Floor Coverings

The Profix^® PLUS Pipe in Flowing Screed System can be used to create low-profile underfloor heating suitable for a range of different floor coverings. When combined with a quick-drying cement-based flowing screed, drying times are significantly reduced compared to thicker, more traditional, wet-screed systems, allowing final floor coverings to be applied much sooner. In addition, no over-boarding is required, meaning you can simply lay your final floor coverings directly on top. The minimum required screed depth depends on the final floor finish, whether that be tiles, engineered wood, carpet or vinyl.

Tiles or Engineered Wood

For Tile or Engineered Wood floor coverings, a minimum underfloor heating screed depth of 20mm will be required depending on the type of screed selected. At this depth the screed will only just cover the top of the Profix^® PLUS panels.

 

Carpet or Luxury Vinyl

For Carpet or Vinyl floor coverings, a minimum underfloor heating screed depth of 25mm will be required depending on the type of screed selected. At this depth the screed will cover the top of the Profix^® PLUS panels by a minimum of 5mm which is necessary for sufficient point load resistance to be achieved.
