ProWarm™ High Density Fibreboard, Chipboard Overlay Panel

High Density Fibreboard (HDF) and Chipboard Overlay Panel is a durable and versatile solution designed for use with Profloor foil-faced OSB boards in wet underfloor heating systems. Ideal for both retrofit and new construction projects, this panel combines high strength and stability with excellent thermal performance, providing a stable surface for various floor finishes. Below are the key features:

Key Features:

• Material Composition: The panel is made from High Density Fibreboard (HDF), which is known for its strength and rigidity. Composed of compressed wood fibres, HDF is denser and more durable than traditional MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard), offering excellent load-bearing capacity that supports floor coverings over underfloor heating systems.
• Overlay Design: The panel acts as an overlay, providing a smooth, stable surface for floor coverings such as laminate, engineered wood, vinyl, or carpet (with appropriate underlay). This design protects the heating pipes below while ensuring even heat distribution across the floor.
• Enhanced Heat Transfer: The density of the fibreboard and chipboard materials ensures efficient heat transfer from the underfloor heating system, optimising energy usage and delivering consistent warmth throughout the space.
• Low Build Height: With a thin profile, the panel is ideal for installations that require minimal impact on floor height, particularly beneficial for retrofit applications where space may be limited.
• Compatibility with Heating Systems: Specifically designed for use with water underfloor heating systems, this overlay panel allows for efficient heat transfer through to the floor surface above.
• Pipe Protection: When installed over underfloor heating pipes, the panel provides a protective layer that shields the heating system from damage while ensuring even heat distribution.
• Easy Installation: The panels feature printed pipe channels on top and marked screw positions, allowing for straightforward installation by aligning with the pipes on the Profloor foil OSB board.
• Versatile Application: Easily cut to size, the overlay panel can adapt to various room layouts.

Benefits:

• Enhanced Heat Distribution: The dense structure of HDF and chipboard ensures even heat transfer from the underfloor heating system, resulting in quicker warm-up times and improved energy efficiency.
• Durability and Strength: The combination of HDF and chipboard offers excellent structural support for floor finishes, ensuring long-lasting performance under heavy foot traffic or in high-use areas.
• Low-Profile Solution: With its slim build height, this panel minimises the impact on overall floor levels, making it perfect for retrofit projects where maintaining ceiling height or door clearance is crucial.
• Versatility: Compatible with a variety of floor finishes, the panel suits multiple applications, from residential living rooms and kitchens to commercial spaces.
• Protects Heating Systems: The overlay panel serves as a protective layer for underfloor heating pipes or cables, preventing damage from above while ensuring optimal thermal performance.
• 10-Year Warranty: Enjoy peace of mind with a comprehensive 10-year warranty.

Applications:

• Residential and Commercial Spaces: Suitable for both home and commercial installations, particularly where underfloor heating is in place.
• New Builds and Renovations: Ideal for both new construction projects and retrofit installations requiring low-profile floor height.
• Floors with Various Finishes: Can be used under a wide range of finishes, including vinyl, laminate, engineered wood, and carpets (with the appropriate underlay).

Summary:

The High Density Fibreboard (HDF) and Chipboard Overlay Panel is a practical and efficient solution for underfloor heating installations. It provides a durable, smooth surface for various floor coverings while ensuring optimal heat transfer and protection for the heating system beneath. With its low-profile design and ease of installation, it is perfect for both new builds and retrofits, delivering reliable performance and enhanced energy efficiency in residential and commercial applications. Each board measures 1200mm x 600mm.
