In many London homes, every millimetre of floor height counts: doors, thresholds and kitchen plinths are already set. For this full ground floor renovation in North London, we supplied a low-profile overlay system that sits on top of the existing floor.
The system
- Floor system: 20mm cement-faced XPS overlay boards
- Pipe: 16mm PERT-EVOH pipe
- Controls: Heatmiser neoAir wireless thermostat with app control
Why cement-faced overlay
A cement-faced board gives a hard, flat surface that tiles or flooring can go straight onto. It adds about 20mm plus the floor finish, compared with 65mm or more for a screed. The XPS core insulates below the pipe, so heat goes up into the room rather than into the old floor.
