Polypipe Underfloor Heating and ARDEX UK have recently joined forces to produce a comprehensive installation guide for installers.
Available to download by visiting ARDEX.co.uk and PolypipeUFH.com, the guide covers everything from subfloor preparation and installation of retro-fit board and solid-floor systems, to tiling and resilient flooring installation guidance using ARDEX products.
ARDEX UK is one of the UK’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of high-performance building products for flooring and tiling. Their products have been extensively tested with Polypipe Underfloor Heating’s Overlay® gypsum panels, Overlay® Plus lightweight retro-fit boards, as well as their solid floor systems including the Red Floor Panel System, Clip Rail and Staple systems.
We also teamed up on a domestic project in Stoke-on-Trent, which featured our original Overlay system:
Emma McDonald ARDEX UK Technical Manager, said of the collaboration:
"After a long process involving extensive testing of Polypipe Underfloor Heating's warm-water systems with our products, we're delighted to be able to announce this partnership.
This is one of the first partnerships of its kind in the industry, providing a recommended system when tiling or flooring onto these kinds of retro-fit systems to help ensure problem-free installations.
The system covers everything from the prepartation of subfloors prior to the installation of these systems, right to the products needed to fix tiles or lay resilient flooring. ARDEX solutions have also been tested and are recommended for use with Polypipe Underfloor Heating systems for use in solid or screeded floors.
Whether you're installing warm-water UFH or laying a floor covering over an existing system, our partnership provides clear guidance and will help you overcome common installation problems."
Stuart Wood, Product Manager - Sustainable Heating from Polypipe Underfloor Heating said:
"We are delighted to be working with ARDEX, ensuring our customers receive the best advice on floor preparation both before and after the installation of our Underfloor Heating Systems. ARDEX have worked tirelessly with us over the last few months to create a comprehensive guide that really supports best installation practises for the industry."
