Underfloor Heating Overlay Boards for Carpet & Vinyl
The underfloor heating overlay boards provide a strong and stable floating subfloor above compatible electric underfloor heating film.
Designed for dry installation, the Dual Overlay System allows heating film to be used beneath floor coverings such as carpet, vinyl and linoleum without requiring a traditional wet screed.
Each pack covers 2.88m² and creates a complete overlay system with a total build height of only 7 mm.
Designed for Electric Heating Film
Heating film requires a suitable protective and load-distributing layer when used beneath soft or flexible floor coverings.
The Dual Overlay System creates a smooth and stable surface above the heating film, allowing compatible finished flooring to be installed while protecting the heating system beneath.
It is suitable for use with compatible:
-
Electric underfloor heating film
-
Warmset underfloor heating systems
-
Infrared heating film systems
Always confirm compatibility with the specific heating system and finished floor covering before installation.
Suitable for Carpet & Vinyl Flooring
The overlay system allows compatible electric heating film to be used beneath a wider range of floor coverings, including:
-
Carpet
-
Luxury vinyl flooring
-
Linoleum
-
Other compatible floor coverings
The finished flooring manufacturer’s requirements for electric underfloor heating must always be followed.
Two-Layer Overlay System
The system consists of two board layers:
Base Board – 3 mm
Installed as the lower protective overlay layer.Top Board – 4 mm
Installed above the base board to complete the stable floating subfloor.Together, the two layers create a total build height of approximately 7 mm.
Each board incorporates a contact adhesive layer to help create a secure two-layer construction.
2.88m² Pack Coverage
Each pack contains:
-
4 × 3 mm base boards
-
4 × 4 mm top boards
Individual board dimensions are:
600 × 1200 mm
One complete pack provides approximately 2.88m² of coverage.
Stable Floating Subfloor
The Dual Overlay System creates a smooth and stable laying surface above the heating film.
This helps:
-
Protect the heating system
-
Distribute loads across the floor
-
Create a stable surface for finished flooring
-
Allow heating film beneath carpet and vinyl
-
Keep additional floor build-up relatively low
-
Avoid the need for a wet screed installation
Dry-Lay Installation
The system uses a dry installation method, making installation cleaner and faster than floor constructions requiring screed or other wet compounds.
Once the heating system has been correctly installed and tested, the base and top boards are laid according to the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
The finished floor covering can then be installed over the completed overlay system.
Technical Performance
The boards are manufactured from MDF with a contact adhesive coating.
According to the product specification:
-
Density: 770 kg/m³
-
Fire Classification: B2
-
Thermal Resistance: 0.07 m²K/W
-
Total Build Height: 7 mm
The relatively low-profile construction makes the system particularly useful for renovation and retrofit underfloor heating projects.
