By reducing downward heat loss into the substrate, it directs more warmth up into the room, improving the efficiency of the heating system by up to 50% while keeping the overall floor build-up height to a minimum — ideal for both new-build and refurbishment projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoosts underfloor heating efficiency by reducing heat loss into concrete and screed substrates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimal build-up height, making it ideal for tight refurbishment thresholds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% moisture and rot proof, suitable for bathrooms and wetrooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight, easy to cut and work with on site\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for professional installers, electricians and tilers fitting electric underfloor heating cable, mesh or foil systems beneath tile, screed or floating floor finishes. Suitable for use in kitchens, bathrooms, wetrooms and living spaces where a heated floor is being installed over a concrete or screed subfloor.
