20mm Tekwarm Foiled 400 KPA UFH Transit Board | 1200mm x 600mm x 20mm | For 12mm pipe

The Tekwarm Foiled 400 KPA UFH Transit Board is expertly crafted for high pipe concentration areas, ensuring efficient and precise pipe installation. 

Designed for use with our Tekwarm Foiled 400 KPA UFH Board, these transit boards are easy to cut and shape, making them perfect for creating corners and multiple transitional pipe runs.

Features:

• Customizable Fit: Easily cut to size for any water UFH project, ensuring flexibility in installation.
• TFF Finish: Enhances thermal reflection and eases pipe installation.
• Smooth Pipe Installation: Straight pipe runs can be laid directly into the straight transitional board. For corners, simply cut the board to create precise 45° angles, allowing for a seamless 90° turn.
• Robust Insulation: Made from 400 KPA grade Expanded Polystyrene, featuring routed grooves at 50mm centres to accommodate 12 or 16mm diameter underfloor heating pipes.
• Durable and Eco-friendly: Manufactured from CFC and HCFC-free EPS, offering zero Global Warming Potential (GWP) and low O-Zone Depletion Potential (ODP).
• Adaptable Installation: Perfect for new builds and retrofit projects. Install over solid ground floors with a suitable DPM, or adapt to other substrates when fully supported.
• Long-lasting Performance: Rot-proof, mould-resistant, and designed to maintain thermal performance for the building's lifespan.

FAQs

What are Tekwarm Foiled 400 KPA UFH Transit Boards?

Tekwarm Foiled 400 KPA UFH Transit Boards are specialized panels designed for underfloor heating systems, featuring a foil top layer to enhance heat distribution and efficiency. They are used to manage and direct the concentration of heating pipes, ensuring precise and efficient installation.

What are other names for transit boards?

Transit boards are also known as UFH (Underfloor Heating) transit panels, highway boards, transition boards, routing panels, or pipe positioning boards.

How do you cut and shape Tekwarm Foiled 400 KPA UFH Transit Boards?

These panels can be cut to size using standard cutting tools. For corners, cut the board at angles (e.g. two 45° cuts for a 90° turn) and leave a small gap to allow the pipe to bend without kinking.

What materials are used in Tekwarm Foiled 400 KPA UFH Transit Boards?

Tekwarm Foiled 400 KPA UFH Transit Boards are made from 400 KPA grade Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) with a foil top layer. This combination is lightweight, durable, and eco-friendly, being free of CFCs and HCFCs.

Can Tekwarm Foiled 400 KPA UFH Transit Boards be used in both new builds and retrofit installations?

Yes, these transit boards are suitable for both new builds and retrofit installations. They can be installed over solid ground floors with a DPM or adapted to other substrates when fully supported.

Are Tekwarm Foiled 400 KPA UFH Transit Boards environmentally friendly?

Yes, these boards are environmentally friendly. They are manufactured from CFC and HCFC-free EPS, ensuring zero Global Warming Potential (GWP) and low O-Zone Depletion Potential (ODP).

What size are Tekwarm Foiled 400 KPA UFH Transit Boards? 

The standard size of Tekwarm Foiled 400 KPA UFH Transit Boards is 1200mm x 600mm x 20mm. They feature grooves at 50mm centres to accommodate 12 and 16mm diameter underfloor heating pipes.

How do you install Tekwarm Foiled 400 KPA UFH Transit Boards?

Install the transit panels over a solid ground floor with a suitable DPM. Cut panels to the required size and shape, lay pipes into the grooves, backfill open areas with screed, and secure pipes with nail clips before pouring the screed.

Are Tekwarm Foiled 400 KPA UFH Transit Boards rot-proof and mould-resistant? 

Yes, these boards are rot-proof and mould-resistant, ensuring long-lasting performance without thermal performance loss.

How do you finish the floor after the transit boards are installed?

After installing the transit boards and pipes, and once the screed has cured, you can lay the final flooring such as tiles, wooden flooring, laminate, or carpet. Ensure the final flooring is compatible with underfloor heating.

How does using 400 KPA EPS enhance the underfloor heating?

Using 400 KPA grade EPS enhances underfloor heating by providing superior insulation and durability. The high compression strength ensures effective pipe support and heat retention, improving the system's efficiency and long-term performance.

What are the differences between using foiled and non-foiled transit boards? 

The primary difference between foiled and non-foiled transit boards is the foil top layer. Foiled transit boards enhance heat distribution and reflectivity, leading to more efficient heat transfer and potentially quicker heat-up times. Non-foiled boards are still effective but may not provide the same level of heat reflectivity.

Why choose Tekwarm Foiled 400 KPA UFH Transit Boards over non-foiled ones? 

Choosing foiled transit boards can enhance the efficiency of your underfloor heating system by improving heat distribution and reflectivity. This results in faster heat-up times and more even heat distribution across the floor, making your heating system more effective and energy-efficient.
