FIXING SYSTEM
Underfloor fixing systems will either suit a new screed floor, a joisted floor, or you may need to consider an overlay solution for an existing floor.
Below we have some of the options available from Black Underfloor, the market is constantly evolving and if you have a specific requirement/project you would like to discuss in more detail please contact us direct.
SOLID FLOORS
- STAPLES IN INSULATION
-
Commonly used for new, screed floors
-
Cost effective as plastic staples can be pushed by hand over the pipe into the insulation
-
Freedom of design (not restricted by pre-grooved products)
-
Edge Insulation can be supplied to reduce perimeter heat loss and to act for screed
expansion -
A staple gun is available to ease the install
- CLIP TRACK
-
To guide pipe runs you can also use clip track which has an adhesive layer to bond to the
insulation and has pre-determined pipe centres
JOISTED FLOORS
- DRY MIX BETWEEN JOISTS
-
Can be used between standard joists
-
Cost effective as no requirement for underfloor specific fixing systems
-
Good output as involves a thermal mass
-
Can also be used on any level floor construction as an overlay
JOISTED FLOORS
- PLATES BETWEEN JOISTS
-
Can be used on standard or engineered joists
-
Sizes available to suit standard joist centres
-
The plates fix between the joists with grooves for the UFH pipe
-
Available as fit from above or fit from below
