UNDERFLOOR HEATING CEMENT COATED GROOVED BOARDS FOR 16MM PIPE DOUBLE RETURNS

The R-XPS overlay panel is a lightweight construction board designed for use with tiles, cement based screeds and synthetic renders. 

It is manufactured from a FR high density extruded polystyrene with a reinforced cement coating on the top and bottom surfaces providing excellent impact and compressive strength. 

The R-XPS panel can be cut using conventional tools and has good bonding properties for direct tile application using flexible cement based tile adhesives.

R-XPS panels can be bonded or mechanically fixed to a floor surface which should be clean and flat. Ideal for use in wet areas such as bathrooms and where there is exposure to moisture. 

For soft floor finishes, it is essential to cover the panel with a minimum of 10mm thick flexible, cement based levelling screed or with a suitable thickness plywood of at least 6mm.

 For wood panelling and wood laminate, the panel should be covered with a minimum of 7mm thick flexible, cement based levelling screed. Some wood panelling may be applied direct dependent on suitable thickness and quality.

The R-XPS panels are not suitable for laying directly onto joists and must have a supporting floor surface such as plywood, floor grade chipboard or similar. Large washer mechanical fixings are recommended in appropriate positions.

Panels can be bonded to most floor surfaces which must be clean, flat and dry. A suitable water resistant primer is advised in conjunction with a classification C2 S1 Adhesive.
