UFH Overlay Insulation Board - 25mm

The main benefit is enhanced thermal efficiency by minimizing heat loss downwards and directing it into the room, coupled with providing a stable base for various floor finishes.

No, these boards are specifically designed for wet system underfloor heating with flexible pipes and are not suitable for electric UFH mats or cables.

You can tile directly onto them with porcelain or ceramic tiles, or use them under wooden or laminate floors. Always check the compatibility of your chosen floor covering with UFH systems.

It is recommended to purchase approximately 15% extra pipe to account for runs to and from the manifold, as well as for waste during installation.

The boards are made of XPS foam, which has good moisture resistance. However, they are not designed to be a waterproof membrane on their own and should be protected from prolonged standing water.

The boards have a high compressive strength of 400 kpA, making them suitable for a variety of demanding floor coverings.

Each board is 1200mm x 600mm. For 10 square meters, you would need approximately 14 boards (10 sqm / 0.72 sqm per board = 13.89 boards), plus an allowance for cuts and waste.

Ensure the subfloor is perfectly level and free of debris. Minor adjustments may be needed by trimming edges if they are binding.

Check if the pipe diameter is within the 10-16mm range. Ensure the channels are clear of obstructions. For extremely tight fits, a gentle push may be required. If pipes are loose, consider using appropriate pipe clips or ties compatible with the board material, though usually not required.

Use a sharp utility knife or a fine-toothed saw. Score the board multiple times for a cleaner cut rather than attempting to cut through in one pass with a dull blade.
