ROUTED & STRIP FOILED CHIPBOARD PANEL

Independently tested structural underfloor heating panel which replaces the floor deck used in constructions on a joisted or battened floor and provides a high output as the pipe is as close to the floor finish as possible. Manufactured from P5, P6 or P7 tongued and grooved chipboard, the panels have pre-routed channels to accept 12mm continuous pipe (supplied by others) and are factory fitted with aluminium diffuser strips to provide improved performance and a means of detecting the pipe. The panels are laid on 400mm or 600mm centre joists or battens in industry standard brick pattern. The pipe is installed by piercing through the soft temper aluminium diffuser strips. The flow and return pipework for each circuit drop into the joist space and are fed to and from the manifold as a continuous system beneath the floor level. The panels then require a minimum 6mm flooring grade ply screwed and glued to complete the structural deck.
