UFH Boards – Cement Coated XPS Insulated Underfloor Heating Boards | 1200 x 600mm | 18-20mm | 200kPa | For 12mm & 16mm Pipe

High Performance Low Profile Cement Coated XPS UFH Boards for Fast, Efficient Underfloor Heating

Why Choose Our Cement Coated UFH Boards?

Our low profile cement coated XPS UFH boards are designed to provide a fast, simple and reliable installation over a wide range of subfloors, making them ideal for both renovation projects and new builds.

These cement coated XPS UFH Boards are high compressive strength 200 kpa XPS underfloor heating insulation boards, ideally suited for low profile systems.

They have durable cement coatings on either face that are suitable for the direct application of tiles or wood flooring (on underlay). With a universal pipe layout they make for easy installation and return of your pipr loops back to the manifold.

Installation Guide

Before installation, ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, level and structurally sound. Fix the boards using a suitable flexible adhesive or the recommended fixing method for your subfloor, ensuring they are laid tightly together with all routed channels correctly aligned. Once the boards are securely installed, press 12mm or 16mm underfloor heating pipe firmly into the pre-routed channels, taking care not to kink or damage the pipe. The underfloor heating system should then be pressure tested before any floor finish is applied.

For ceramic and porcelain tiles, the cement coated surface allows tiles to be fixed directly to the boards using a suitable flexible S1 or S2 tile adhesive. Where Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT), carpet, vinyl or other resilient floor coverings are to be installed, the routed channels should first be covered with a suitable fibre-reinforced leveling compound, typically to a depth of 8-10mm or in accordance with the leveling compound manufacturer’s recommendations, to provide a smooth, stable surface. Engineered wood, laminate and other compatible floor finishes should be installed in accordance with the flooring manufacturer’s guidance.

Before commissioning the heating system, allow all adhesives and leveling compounds to cure fully. The heating should then be brought up to temperature gradually, increasing the flow temperature in stages to help protect the floor finish and ensure the long-term performance of the installation.
