INSTRUCTION MANUAL
XP-Pro Insulation Board
ProWarm™ XP-Pro Insulation boards are specifically designed for use with our underfloor heating mat systems on concrete/screeded floors. They should not be use on timber substrate floors with a ceramic tiled finish. They offer a balance between cost and durability and are a less expensive alternative to our Tile Backer Boards.
XP-Pro Insulation Boards are also used as a high quality insulation for our underwood heating systems on any substrate floor. Available in 6mm, 10mm, 20mm, 30mm & 50mm thickness.
ProFoam™ Insulation Board
ProWarm™ economy insulation boards are specifically designed for use with our
underwood heating mat systems.
These boards are the most cost effective solution for underwood systems and
also act as an underlay for your wooden floor, they’re available in 6mm
thickness only.
Even if not used with underfloor heating these boards are the most cost
effective high quality underlay for wooden floors.
Not Suitable for undertile heating.
Tile Backer Board
ProWarm™ Tile backer insulation boards are high quality extruded polystyrene
panels which are covered with a fibreglass mesh on both sides, for use with
our under tile heating cables and mats (not suitable for our underwood
systems). Available in 6mm, 10mm, 12.5mm, 20mm, 30mm & 50mm thickness.
ProWarm™ Tile Backer Boards are ideal for two primary purposes; as a superior
waterproof surface to fix wall or floor tiles and as a first class heat
insulation for underfloor heating systems. (When used on walls a Minimum
thickness of 10mm must be used, mechanical fixing at 300mm centres required).
XP-Pro and ProFoam™ Boards are suitable for various floor coverings on screeded / concrete floors
UNDERTILE MAT & CABLE SYSTEMS
*using Tile Backer & XP-Pro Boards**
Concrete / Screeded Floors – Ensure floor surface is free of dust and debris
and primed with suitable primer (in kit), prior to bonding boards in place
with a good quality Rapid Set Flexible Floor tile adhesive (check
manufacturers guideline’s). Use suitable notched floor tiling trowel to apply
the adhesive to the floor and bed boards using a straight edge.
For tiling either directly over tile backer boards or to embed electric
underfloor heating system use a Rapid Set Flexible Floor Tile Adhesive. Ensure
that all heating mats are fully embedded within the tile adhesive or Level it
one self levelling compound.
NOTE: Do not use solvent based or pre mixed adhesives. A single part latex levelling compound may be applied to embed the heating system prior to tiling if desired.
Timber Floors – Tile backer boards must be secured in place with flexible tile adhesive and in addition fixed with screws and washers at every 300mm centres. If the timber floor shows signs of movement, then you must secure the floor or reinforce the floor first prior to fixing down the Insulated tile backed boards.
Priming – Please ensure all boards are primed with a suitable Acrylic based primer (As per manufactures guidelines) Ensure primer is completely dry before fixing the tiles with a flexible tile adhesive.
- XP-Pro Boards can only be installed on concrete/screeded floors using a cement based tile adhesive
UNDERWOOD FOIL SYSTEM using ProFoam™ or XP-Pro
Any substrate floor – Boards to be loose laid in a staggered brickwork fashion, boards can be taped together if required to prevent movement whilst laying the heating mats.
