Floor Constructions

Maincor underfloor heating is suitable for use with a wide range of floor constructions including:

Solid Floors
The Underfloor Heating pipes are laid onto insulation board placed over a solid concrete base. Screed is then poured over the top of the pipes. This construction is typically used on ground floors or beam and block floors.

Suspended floors
Maincor offers two solutions for suspended floors, both involve suspending the pipework between the joists to heat the room.

	Mainfoil System – which uses a bubble aluminium foil which laps up and over the joists to create a sealed air void. The aluminium foil reflects the radiant heat up to the underside of the floor, which in turn heats the room .
	Maincor Aluminium Heat Emission Plates – these are supported by the joists (400mm c/c). The plates are grooved so that the underfloor heating pipework can be fitted. The plates diffuse the heat for even heat distribution across the floor.
