7mm Duo Board System (x 4 pairs) 2.88m2 For Use With Foil Coated Overlay Boards For Water Underfloor Heating
Duo Board is a free floating HDF sub-floor specifically designed for installation over floor heating to provide a smooth, stable and level base for laying off the roll carpet, vinyl and linoleum directly onto.
The DUO BOARD system comprises of two layers, a base board with adhesive surface and a top board both are laid in an overlap/brick bond fashion. (For Karndean and Amtico planks we would recommend a renovation screed as a sub floor and not Duo Boards). Expansion joints required in any 8 mtr direction.
Dimensions: 1200mm x 600mm x 3-4mm
Quantity: 1 = 4 pairs of Duo Boards, 0.72m2 each, 2.88m2 per pack
IMPORTANT: Before installation, the Duo Boards must be stored for a minimum of 48 hours at a temperature not lower than 18°C and a relative humidity of no more than 60% in the room where the Duo Boards are to be used.
PLEASE NOTE: You can not use tile adhesives or levelling compounds on these DUO BOARDS
- DUO BOARD is a quick, simple and dry solution to install with a very low thermal resistance allowing heat to transfer quickly and easily for a rapid response and maximum comfort. Made from HDF high-density fibreboard, which is engineered wood fibres that have been highly compressed. It is similar to MDF, medium-density fibreboard but is denser and much stronger.
- The base board is laid first with adhesive side facing up then the top board is then laid brick bond fashion onto the exposed adhesive surface producing a seamless surface, preventing ‘joint lines’ from showing through carpet, vinyl and linoleum floor finishes.
- When laying DUO BOARD allow an expansion joint every linear 8mtrs, the expansion joint should be between 5mm to 10mm and can be filled level with the board surface using a flexible sealant/filler.
- DUO BOARD is not suitable for use in bathrooms, wet rooms, en-suites or any other wet areas, the boards will expand upon contact with moisture.
- DUO BOARD is not a structural sub-floor for use as replacement of floor boards/decks.
