When refurbishing older buildings or renovating spaces, achieving effective underfloor heating without a substantial increase in floor height can be a challenge. That’s where HORSTAD’s Low Profile Castellated Underfloor Heating System comes into play. Designed specifically for projects where floor build-up needs to remain minimal, this system provides a smart, flexible solution for efficient heating while maintaining floor levels.
What is the Low Profile Castellated System?
This innovative system uses a 12mm underfloor heating pipe set within a specialized castellated plastic panel. Once the pipe is secured, it’s covered with 20mm of reinforced levelling compound, forming a durable layer that supports most common floor finishes.
Key Benefits of the Low Profile Castellated System
Ideal for Refurbishments: Refurbishment projects often present unique constraints, especially regarding floor height. With only a modest 20mm layer of compound above the panel, the low-profile design of this system helps maintain existing floor levels.
Versatile Installation: This system can be installed directly over a structural and level sub-floor, such as concrete, or over chipboard flooring. Additionally, an insulation layer can be added beneath the panel, helping to maximize energy efficiency by reducing heat loss through the sub-floor.
Compatible with Various Floor Finishes: Whether you prefer timber, vinyl, or carpeted finishes, most types of flooring can be applied directly over this system. For tiled floors, however, we recommend a de-coupling membrane between the tiles and the heating layer. This membrane absorbs lateral movements and helps prevent hairline cracks in the grout, keeping tiled surfaces looking pristine.
Why Choose HORSTAD’s Low Profile Castellated System?
HORSTAD’s low profile castellated system is engineered for both efficiency and reliability. By keeping the system close to the floor surface, it reduces the time needed to warm up the space, making it an energy-efficient choice for heating. This system’s durability ensures it withstands the demands of everyday life, providing a stable and lasting solution for underfloor heating in refurbishment projects.
Is the Low Profile Castellated System Right for Your Project?
If your project requires efficient heating with minimal floor build-up, HORSTAD’s Low Profile Castellated System offers the ideal solution. This system combines the benefits of modern underfloor heating with a design specifically tailored for retrofit and refurbishment settings.
