16mm Cement Faced UFH Board 12mm Pipe

Description

The Tekwarm Lite LP 16mm UFH Board is a cement faced, pre-routed XPS300 underfloor heating board for 12mm pipe at 150mm centres. At just 16mm thick it suits height-restricted retrofit work, and the durable cement coatings on both faces take tiles directly or wood flooring on a suitable underlay.

Each 1200 x 600 x 16mm board covers 0.72 m² and is grooved on one face with 3 straight runs and radius curves at the top and bottom. Suitable for new build and retrofit over a flat, level sub floor.

Timber sub floors: mechanical fixing is mandatory

On timber, the boards should always be fixed with Tekwarm mechanical fixings and washers of a suitable length for the application.

Match the pipe size to the groove

This board is routed for 12mm pipe at 150mm centres only. Other finishes require a separating layer of Tekwarm Construction Board.

Direct tiling, no overlay needed

For most applications no additional board is required: tiles bed onto the cement-coated surface and wood flooring goes on a suitable underlay.

Key features

Low profile build-up

At 16mm thick, the board keeps added floor height to a minimum, which suits retrofit and height-restricted projects.

Pre-routed for 12mm pipe

Grooved on one face for 12mm pipe at 150mm centres with 3 straight runs and radius curves at the top and bottom.

Cement coated both faces

Durable cement coatings on each face give a stable surface for direct tiling or wood flooring on underlay.

High compressive strength

Made from 300 kPa XPS, giving a firm, durable surface under finished floors.

Timber or concrete base

Fix to timber with mechanical fixings and washers or bed onto concrete in combed S1 tile adhesive (or equivalent).

New build and retrofit

Speedy installation over a flat, level sub floor, suitable for both new build and retrofit installations.

Frequently asked questions

Which pipe does this board take?

This board is routed for 12mm diameter underfloor heating pipe at 150mm centres. Do not use a different pipe diameter in these grooves.

Can I tile directly onto the board?

Yes. The durable cement coatings on both faces are suitable for the direct application of tiles. Lay flooring grade tiles on a suitable combed tile adhesive layer.

Can I lay wood flooring on it?

Wood flooring can be laid on the upper surface using a suitable underlay, following the flooring manufacturer's instructions.

What if I am using a different floor finish?

For most applications an additional board is not required. Other finishes need a separating layer of Tekwarm Construction Board before they are installed.

How should the boards be fixed?

On timber, always fix with Tekwarm mechanical fixings and washers of a suitable length. On concrete, bed the boards in combed tile adhesive (S1 or equivalent); mechanical fixings may also be needed depending on the substrate.

Are other pipe layouts available?

Other routed pipe layouts and patterns can be produced by the manufacturer. Contact us with your requirements and we will check what is possible.
