OMNIE TorFloor 2® – Features & Benefits

Twice as easy. TorFloor 2® is the new and improved structural underfloor heating panel from OMNIE. Floor and heating in one.

The original and best performing structural chipboard system on the market.

Why OMNIE TorFloor 2?

TorFloor 2® is a combined floor deck and underfloor heating system for suspended and batten floors. The TorFloor 2® System replaces the traditional floor deck with a complete dual layer system. The original and market leading OMNIE TorFloor 2® System is made up of two interlocking pipe channel panels that fully encase the pipe - the cover panel is printed on the floor face to show where the pipe channels are located, so to ensure the pipes cannot be breached when mechanically fixing the panels to joists. Because the upper panel is foiled, the panel generates excellent heat output and a very fast warm up time and OMNIE TorFloor 2® System is the only structural heated floor tested to the latest standards (tested to BS EN 1195).

High Performance Heating

Our original OMNIE TorFloor 2® system has a 40% higher heat output compared to un-foiled routed chipboard systems. The unique way OMNIE TorFloor 2® is designed both with the AL-HEX heat diffuser and the warm water pipe being as close to the floor finish as possible means TorFloor 2® is the market leading routed chipboard system for both heat output and warm up times. The system produces 77 W/m² at 50 degrees celsius (deg C) flow water temperature.

AL-HEX Foil Diffuser

OMNIE TorFloor 2® features the unique patented AL-HEX foil diffuser, pre bonded to the underside of the cover panel. This means that the foil diffuser is as close to the floor surface as possible. The AL-HEX heat diffuser is designed to break evenly and wrap over and around the pipe, this means that the foil diffuser (which is part of the upper panel) has more surface area in contact with the heating pipe, transferring more heat into the upper panel and minimising heat losses. To aid installation, AL-HEX foil makes a unique 'click' when it is placed over the warm water pipe - so when the cover panel is slotted into place, it is easy to make sure that the foil has wrapped over the pipe by listening for the 'click'.

Locator Technology

Unlike competitor products, OMNIE TorFloor 2® cover and lower panels both feature a pre-cut pipe channel pattern. This allows the cover panel to locate and slot over the laid pipe, ensuring an easy to install system which is structurally solid and tested for structural performance to BS EN 1195.

Watch our 2 minute installation video.

Optional Cover Panels

OMNIE TorFloor 2® has a selection of optional cover panels. Each panel comes with an AL-HEX foil diffuser and locator technology, and is designed to make sure the floor when laid, it is ready to accept any chosen floor finish. The cover panel choices also allow professional installers to choose a material they are familiar with or would prefer.

Fixing Locators

OMNIE TorFloor 2® cover panels come with pre-printed large target locators showing exactly where fixings must be placed. This significantly speeds up installation time and eliminates any risk of the warm water pipe being damaged on installation. In contrast to competitor systems, no glue is needed to bond top panel to the lower panel - with TorFloor 2® these are mechanically fixed to speed up installation time and remove all wet processes.

Surface Print

OMNIE TorFloor 2® features the original and first to market, surface printed cover panel. This panel shows the Omnidirectional pipe pattern on the floor face of the board, as well as warning notices and fixing locators. The printed cover panel ensures that the pipe is not damaged when the system is installed and speeds up the fitting of the cover panel in combination with our unique OMNIE TorFloor 2® locator technology.

Fluted Pipe Exits

OMNIE TorFloor 2® deck panels feature a unique fluted exit pre-cut into the pipe channel pattern where it exits the panel. This feature means that the panels do not have to be aligned precisely and makes sure that the warm water pipe, when laid - can easily be pushed into adjacent panels without the risk of kinking or damage. This significantly speeds up the installation time for OMNIE TorFloor 2®.

Omnidirectional Pipe Channel Pattern

OMNIE TorFloor 2® benefits from the original Omnidirectional pipe pattern. This pre-cut pipe channel pattern means that the pipe can be laid in a number of different directions without having to make changes to the panels on site. OMNIE TorFloor 2® panels can be laid across the room and the pipe simply and quickly inserted to avoid or work around objects such as built in furniture, pillars or awkward room shapes. Omnidirectional pipe pattern technology significantly improves installation time and reduces risk.

Up to 600mm Joist Centres

The OMNIE TorFloor 2® Underfloor Heating system can be used on joist centres up to 600mm with no compromise on the integrity of the floor deck. Both 400mm and 600mm centres can be used within the same floor, along with older imperial centres from early housing stock. This means that OMNIE TorFloor 2® can be laid as a new floor for example, across existing joists in victorian properties through to newly laid suspended floors in extensions or new-builds.

Heat Pump Ready

The OMNIE TorFloor 2® system is designed to work at very low water temperatures. This means the system is perfect for heat pumps, which are optimised to provide flow water temperatures of between 35°C and 55°C. Installing OMNIE TorFloor 2® in your next project either alongside a heat pump or with another heat source, will significantly reduce your energy bills. OMNIE will ensure that your system is designed correctly and that the heat output is sufficient for the desired indoor environment.
