Dual Board Overlay System for Underfloor Heating
The Dual Board Overlay System is an innovative dry-lay, floating subfloor solution designed specifically for use over Foil Heaters or similar underfloor heating systems. Created to provide a stable, low-build-height base, this dual board system enables quick, clean installation under carpet, linoleum, vinyl, and other floor coverings, delivering excellent thermal performance and comfort.
Key Features
- Consists of two self-adhesive layers: a baseboard (approximately 3mm thick) and a top board (approximately 4mm thick) which bond together for secure, stable flooring
- Combined total thickness of around 7mm, maintaining a low profile suitable for retrofit and new build applications
- Dry lay system that floats over the subfloor without needing mechanical fixing
- Stable and smooth surface instantly ready to receive finished floor coverings such as carpets, luxury vinyl tiles (LVT), and linoleum
- Pre-applied contact adhesive on both board surfaces ensures a strong, permanent bond with minimal installation effort
- Staggered, overlapping joints between baseboards and top boards enhance structural stability and prevent reflective floor imperfections
- Compatible with ECOFILM underfloor heating systems, allowing effective transmission of radiant heat with minimal thermal loss
- Boards measure 600mm x 1200mm, with four baseboards and four top boards included per pack, covering approx. 2.88 m²
- MDF construction with a high contact adhesive coating for durability and ease of installation
- Density approximately 770 kg/m³, providing robust structural support while remaining lightweight
- Thermal resistance of roughly 0.07 m²K/W contributing to efficient heat transfer
Installation Overview
- Boards must be acclimatised in the installation room for at least 48 hours at above 18°C before fitting to ensure optimal adhesion and performance
- A polythene moisture barrier (minimum 200 micron thickness) should be laid over the subfloor before installation to prevent moisture ingress and protect the adhesive layers
- Baseboards are laid first with the protective plastic film facing upwards and cut to fit as needed; film is only removed after trimming is completed to protect adhesive
- Top boards are placed adhesive side down, overlapping the baseboard joints to create a strong, stable surface with staggered edges
- Boards can be tapped into place with a rubber mallet to secure the bond, but should be positioned accurately as the adhesive bond is permanent
- Floor heating system must be switched off during installation and only reactivated once any finishing adhesives or floor fixings have fully cured
- Floor sensor installation groove is provided in the top board layer for accurate temperature control of heating systems
Benefits of Combining with Heat-Pak Overlay System
The Heat-Pak® system is a fast-track, pre-fabricated overlay designed for use over floor heating installations. It offers:
- Exceptionally stable, free-floating subfloor system with a super smooth surface ideal for gluing down resilient floor coverings including vinyl, cork, rubber, and carpet
- Low thermal resistance (TOG of 0.7), enabling heat to pass quickly and efficiently to the floor surface for fast warm-up and energy savings
- Quick, dry installation without need for setting or drying times, allowing subsequent floor finishes to be laid immediately
- Composed of high-quality MDF board layers bonded with permanent adhesive for strength and longevity
- Reduces installation time while ensuring optimal protection and performance of electric underfloor heating systems
