FoilBoard

DS UFH 09.2

Introduction

The FoilBoard system provides assured performance in timber suspended floors between joists at 400mm. The panels are manufactured from 18mm of extruded polystyrene insulation (XPS) with a 6mm pre-bonded high-density wood layer and pre-bonded soft temper aluminium. As no thick rigid plates are used the panels can be easily trimmed on site. The FoilBoard panels are laid between joists and supported by battens or “L” shaped brackets. This ensures that the system is in direct contact with the floor deck, maximising the transfer of heat from pipe to the deck. Once the panels are in place the pipe is pressed into the channels piercing the foil diffuser, and is fitted into notches in the joists to pass from one joist space to the next.


Specification

OMNIE FoilBoard system using universal panels comprising of 18mm extruded polystyrene insulation (XPS) with a 6mm of pre-bonded high-density wood layer and pre-bonded heat diffusers to be installed between joists at 400mm PE-RT pipe to DIN 4726 of 12mm (133mm centres pipe) to be inserted into the pre-routed grooves. Floor deck to be laid and fixed over. The system to be designed, installed and commissioned to BS1264.

LAYFAST – Speed up installation time. This product uses our multi-directional pipe channel system.
For more information see DS UFH 22

DRYSYSTEM – No wet trades required, designed for dry constructions.
