When Alex first approached us, he asked for a quote for our TileFix®-18 and UltraSlim™-15 systems for the existing property, and for screed to be laid in the new extensions. He was particularly keen on the TileFix® system because it is the only system designed to accept direct tiling with a standard tile adhesive.
The customer wanted to fit an overfloor UFH system throughout the ground floor of his property, including the kitchen, but this would not be straightforward because he also wanted different floor coverings laid on top in the various different rooms.
At Continal Underfloor Heating, we often receive enquiries from installers and self-builders who want to fit underfloor heating (UFH) as part of retrofit projects in existing buildings. One such enquiry was a request for help with the installation of UFH across the 93m2 ground floor of an old Forge in Penzance.
The owner wanted underfloor heating fitted throughout the entire property, and instructed a good customer of Continal's to install the heating system. To help their client keep costs down due to the sheer scale of the project, they decided to use a screeded system from Continal Underfloor Heating.
The original floor was being removed, so we recommended a screed system, since the installers would be able to dig down far enough to create space for the insulation, pipes and 55mm screed. Our tried-and-trusted screed system is an easy to install and cost-effective way to fit UFH using either 50mm staples, pipe ties or our SpeedTrak® system.
Continal’s OneBoard® structural system was specified as part of the construction of a two-storey newbuild property in Ash Green, Surrey. The ground floor of the property had a screed underfloor heating (UFH) system installed, but the first floor comprised of joists, so the installer needed a system that compatible with joists that would work alongside the screed system.
When one of our regular customers was asked to install the best and most efficient heating system in a café and wedding venue in Taunton, Somerset, he knew it had to be underfloor heating (UFH). The large, open-plan building comprises a 101m2 café and 415m2 reception room, which also doubles as an elegant wedding venue for couples in the Somerset area.
Continal Technical Sales Adviser Carol Jordan arranged for a video call with both the homeowner and the installer to discuss all the details of the project and make sure she understood the building’s unique requirements. Then, she recommended that Continal’s TileFix-18® overfloor system be installed on top of the insulation and concrete slab, with the pipe being laid at 100mm centres in the open-plan area, and at 150mm centres everywhere else.
