Continal Underfloor Heating has launched OneBoard Plus – an updated version of the popular OneBoard structural underfloor heating (UFH) system that offers increased performance and even faster response times.
The new OneBoard Plus system comes with a full heat dissipation foil to ensure excellent heat outputs of up to 72W/m² right across the floor, directing heat from the UFH pipe and up into the room above faster than before. As a structural system, it can be laid directly on 400mm and 600mm joists and is ideal for both newbuild and retrofit installations. The key factor is that it has been fully tested for this structural role.
OneBoard Plus has an inbuilt composite chipboard panel that replaces the normal chipboard or plywood sub-layer. This also helps to reduce floor build-up heights, creating an extremely low-profile UFH system that can be fitted almost anywhere. The panel depth measures just 22mm – thinner than the diameter of a pound coin – giving installers even more flexibility when designing and fitting UFH systems.
There are pre-routed 12mm pipe channels set at 150mm pipe centres to make it easier to lay the UFH pipes into the board, even for installers working alone. The pipe centres incorporate Continal’s flexible SUPERflex™-12 underfloor heating pipe, which is kink-resistant and offers a bend radius of less than 100mm to make installations quick and easy.
Suitable for all heat sources and floor coverings, OneBoard Plus can be combined with a wide range of control solutions including digital and manual thermostats to suit the user’s needs, as well as app-controlled thermostats so users can control their heating through their smart device.
Chris Ingram, Founder of Continal Underfloor Heating, said: “OneBoard Plus is the newest product offering from Continal. Offering even greater levels of efficiency than our original OneBoard structural floor system, OneBoard Plus enables installers to fit UFH in areas where ceiling heights are an issue, with very low floor build-up heights. OneBoard Plus is able to achieve outputs of up to 72W/m², which is more than adequate for virtually all newbuild houses under current Building Regulations.
