Spreader Plates
Spreader Plates are simple and quick to install. The aluminium plate is fixed to the joists with nails, screws or clips. Pipe is then laid into the pre routed grooves and the floor boards are then placed directly on top.
Spreader plates are an easy and cost effective method to installing underfloor heating into an existing suspended floor. The aluminium spreader plate evenly distributes the heat across the floor, whilst the insulation projects the heat up into the room.

Clip Staple.
A Clip Staple system attaches 16mm pipe to a foil faced insulation board. It's quick to install, whilst offering great flexibility on pipe routing to fit all room shapes.
Clip Staple is a simple and cost effective installation method, offering flexibility on pipe routing to suit all room shapes. It achieves excellent heat output because pipe is laid directly onto a foil covered insulation board, and the concrete/screed acts as a conductor and energy store - projecting the heat up into the floor covering over a prolonged period.
Clip Rail.
A Clip Rail system attaches 16mm pipe to a foil faced insulation board using ready made pipe spacings.
Clip Rail is a simple and cost effective installation method. The self adhesive backed strip with regular pipe spacings enables a quick installation process saving time and money. This system achieves excellent heat output because pipe is laid directly onto a foil covered insulation board and the concrete/screed acts as a conductor and energy store, projecting the heat up into the floor covering over a prolonged period.
Castellated Panels.
If pipes cannot be fixed into insulation, the Pro Crate system is an ideal choice. The pipe can easily be clipped into place using the ready made pipe spacings. The Castellated Panels is self adhesive backed to provide a secure floor fixing.
Castellated Panels floor panels are easily cut to the room shape, forming a simple grid for the quickest possible pipe laying with a precise guide for minimum bending radius. The pipe is securely set at the required centres, preventing movement when screeding.
