High compressive strength insulation with integrated underfloor heating for floating floors
- Fully foiled layer maximises heat output
- High compressive strength insulation provides strong support
- Faster to install than traditional insulation panels thanks to multi-directional channels
- Completely silent on warm up and cool down
OMNIE FoilFloat system can be laid over a flat and even, solid floor. This system provides underfloor heating within a floating insulation floor where others install their own floor over. The floor by nature of the construction, will float over the underfloor heating system.
The universal panels provide the support for the fully floating floor deck that is laid over. Each panel is manufactured from extruded polystyrene insulation (XPS) which has a high compressive strength, suitable for floating floor applications.
The heat diffusers are pre-bonded and made from soft temper aluminium. As no thick rigid plates are used the panels are easily trimmed on site. Once the panels are in place, the pipe is pressed into the channels piercing the foil diffuser. To complete the floor a tongue and groove deck or floor finish is laid over.
The product is available in a standard thickness of 25mm. This uses 16.5mm pipe.
