HYDRONIC - IN SCREED
APPLICATIONS
Hydronic in-screed heating is suitable for large areas (100 m² +) and can be used in a variety of installations where a sand and cement bed is being used. In screed installations have a faster response time than in slab installations, as it is closer to the floor surface.
PIPE TECHNOLOGY
The PEX pipe is specific for under floor heating. It is a cross linked polyethylene pipe with oxygen barrier to prevent corrosion.
HEAT OUTPUT
With in-screed hydronic heating we aim for a heat output of around 100-120W/m². A combination of flow and temperature is balanced to suit the heat load requirements of a room.
INSTALLATION
The PEX hydronic floor heating pipe is installed before the cement screed, beneath any type of floor covering (generally tile). It is required that you cover the cable with a minimum of 50mm bed of screed. The PEX hydronic floor heating pipe is held on the floor by either plastic pins attached to 25mm insulation foam or clipped to a light wire mesh. (An additional reinforcing mesh will need to be installed in the screed)
