Underfloor Heating System
Tacker system
The tacker system saves significant time and cost during installation by combining several installation steps into one.
Tacker comprises EPS sheet insulation with a grid patterned polyethylene membrane. The pipe is fixed into place using a staple gun following the marked grid pattern. No fixing rails or membrane to be rolled and fixed – saves time!
Ideally suited for awkward areas where underfloor needs to be installed such as drains, pillars, alcoves etc. as the pipe can be laid around such obstacles.
Raufix system
This system is ideally suited for screeded applications in large areas. Raufix clip rails are secured with staples to the insulation and membrane at regular intervals. The underfloor heating pipe can then be accurately clipping in place allowing large areas of underfloor heating to be quickly and effectively laid.
Raufix is the system of choice for commercial projects.
Industrial heating
Industrial floor heating systems are assembled into the concrete slab. The pipe itself is mounted on reinforcing mesh inside the slab. The system uses the mass of the structural slab to store and distribute heat to the building, providing heat in winter and cooling in summer whilst offering the following benefits:
- Uniform indoor temperature profile
- Warm floor surface (quick drying)
- Low dispersion of dust
- Low air velocities (as minimises need for convection space heating)
- Lower operating costs
- No maintenance costs
Diffusion plate
The diffusion plate system is designed for timber joist floors. The system uses Aluminium plates to diffuse heat over the floor surface.
Plates heat faster than screed systems resulting in quicker reaction times.
Floating floor
The floating floor system is the quick alternative to screed as there is no need to wait for screed to cure. pre-routed polystyrene panels are laminated with foil which diffuses the heat across the floor surface. As with plate systems, the response time is faster than screed systems.
