This product integrates structural strength with excellent thermal performance, making it ideal for both new builds and renovation projects. It is specifically pre-routed to accommodate 16mm underfloor heating pipes, ensuring easy installation and optimal heat distribution.

Key Features

Dimensions

Size: Each board measures 1200mm in length and 600mm in width, offering extensive coverage per panel and reducing the number of boards needed for large areas. 22mm Thickness: The 22mm thickness provides structural integrity, ensuring it can support various floor finishes while maintaining strength and durability.

Material: Oriented Strand Board (OSB): Made from high-quality OSB, this board offers excellent structural stability and load-bearing capacity. OSB is known for its durability and moisture resistance, making it ideal for subfloors in both residential and commercial projects. Foil-Faced Surface: The board is faced with a 75-micron aluminium foil, which enhances heat transfer and ensures efficient energy use by reflecting heat upward into the room.

Pre-Routed Channels: Designed for 16mm Pipes: The board features pre-routed channels specifically sized to fit 16mm underfloor heating pipes. These channels are precisely spaced to promote even heat distribution across the floor. Consistent Layout: The pre-routed channels allow for easy and accurate placement of heating pipes, reducing installation time and ensuring consistent pipe spacing for uniform heating.

75 Micron Foil Layer: Enhanced Heat Reflection: The foil layer is designed to reflect heat back into the room, reducing heat loss through the subfloor and improving the overall efficiency of the heating system. Improved Heat Distribution: The foil ensures that the heat generated by the pipes is evenly spread across the floor surface, preventing cold spots and promoting faster warm-up times.

Easy Installation: Simplifies Pipe Installation: The pre-routed design ensures that pipes can be quickly and securely laid into the channels, with no need for additional fixings or adhesives. Large Board Size: With dimensions of 1200mm x 600mm, fewer boards are required to cover larger areas, reducing installation time and effort.

Structural Support: Suitable for Various Floor Finishes: The OSB board is strong enough to support a range of floor finishes, including tiles, laminate, hardwood, and carpet (with appropriate underlay), making it a versatile solution for underfloor heating installations.

Benefits

Efficient Heat Transfer: The 75-micron foil layer significantly enhances heat transfer by reflecting radiant heat upwards, reducing energy waste and ensuring the room heats up faster and more evenly.

Quick and Easy Installation: Pre-routed channels for 16mm pipes simplify the installation process, reducing labor costs and time spent on pipe layout. The large board size also helps cover more area with fewer panels.

Durability and Structural Integrity: Made from high-quality OSB, the board is moisture-resistant and strong enough to act as a subfloor, supporting a variety of floor finishes without compromising the structural integrity of the installation.

Versatility: Suitable for use in both residential and commercial applications, the board provides a robust solution for underfloor heating systems in living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and offices.

Optimized Energy Efficiency: The foil facing reduces heat loss and maximizes heat reflection, improving the overall energy efficiency of the underfloor heating system and lowering heating costs.

Applications

Residential and Commercial Buildings: Suitable for installation in homes, offices, and commercial spaces where water-based underfloor heating systems are desired.

New Builds and Renovations: Ideal for both new construction projects and retrofit installations due to its structural strength and low build height.

Floors with Various Finishes: Can be used under a wide range of floor finishes, including tiles, wood, laminate, and carpet, making it a versatile option for different flooring types.

Summary

The 1200mm x 600mm x 22mm Pre-Routed Foil Faced OSB Board is a robust and efficient solution for water-based underfloor heating systems. Its 22mm thickness provides excellent structural support, while the 75-micron foil facing ensures superior heat reflection and distribution. With pre-routed channels designed for 16mm pipes, the board offers easy installation and consistent heat output, making it an ideal choice for both residential and commercial applications where energy efficiency and durability are essential.
