LK HeatFloor 22 is an eco-labelled sub flooring that is load bearing and designed for joists with centres between 400 mm and 600 mm. The HeatFloor 22 replaces standard 22 mm sub flooring and is often installed at an early stage of construction and before the floor heating is installed.
HeatFloor 22 is pre-routed and the grooves must be laid at 90º to the joists. Aluminium heat distribution plates are fitted prior to pipe installation. The floor heating pipes are easily pushed into the aluminium grooves; the plates ensure heat is spread evenly across the entire floor surface. Final flooring is then “floated” above.
LK Heat Distribution Plate 16/20 is used when secondary spaced boarding is required. The system is ideal for those who wish to renovate an older house with joists that have varying centre distances. With this installation method, the installation height is 28 mm.
There is one additional installation method – the construction is set between the joists; here installation height is 0 mm.
In both methods, the heat distribution plate is installed in the gaps between the secondary boards and is fixed to them. The pipes are pushed into the plate’s grooves. The final flooring is then laid in place over the installation.
LK Joist Plate 16/20 is used on floor joists spaced at 600 mm centres only and where a load-bearing floor (such as solid wood flooring) will be fixed directly to the joists.
The joist plate is fixed and laid so that the pipes run between the joists.
Once the pipes are laid in the joist plate grooves, the final load-bearing floor can be installed in direct contact with the floor heating. The total installation height depends on the thickness of the final flooring.
