Suitability
This increasingly popular type of floor can be laid
onto any existing base and is an alternative to a screeded
floor. The floating floor reduces the weight of the
building structure, provides a better insulation against
sound and gives a softer floor effect when compared
to screeded floor. For more information on Floating
Floors please 
View Fact Sheet
The Pre-grooved polystyrene panels are cut as necessary
and laid butt-jointed onto the base to cover the entire
floor area. Heat emission plates are pressed into the
pre-formed grooves in the polystyrene panels spaced
at 300mm centres. The pipe is then walked into the plates.
Heat
Output:
The maximum heat output of a floating
floor system is 70w/m² This output should be checked
against the heat losses of the building given by the
Architect and/or consulting engineer. This is particularly
important in refurbishments and rooms with large glazed
areas and/or high ceilings.
