ARDEX, which describes itself as one of the UK’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of high-performance building products for flooring and tiling, has partnered with Polypipe Underfloor Heating to provide ‘a trusted solution for its water-fed underfloor heating systems’.

Says the company, ‘ARDEX products have been extensively tested with Polypipe Underfloor Heating’s Overlay gypsum panels, Overlay Plus lightweight retrofit boards, as well as their solid floor systems including the Red Floor Panel System, Clip Rail and Staple systems.’

ARDEX and Polypipe Underfloor Heating have joined forces to produce a comprehensive installation guide.

Available to download by visiting ARDEX.co.uk and PolypipeUFH.com, the guide ‘covers everything from subfloor preparation and installation of retrofit board and solid-floor systems to tiling and resilient flooring installation guidance using ARDEX products’.

Emma McDonald, ARDEX UK technical manager, said: ‘After a long process involving extensive testing of Polypipe Underfloor Heating’s warm-water systems with our products, we’re delighted to be able to announce this partnership.

‘This is one of the first partnerships of its kind in the industry, providing a recommended system when tiling or flooring onto these kinds of retrofit systems to help ensure problem-free installations.
‘The system covers everything from the preparation of subfloors prior to the installation of these systems, right to the products needed to fix tiles or lay resilient flooring. ARDEX solutions have also been tested and are recommended for use with Polypipe Underfloor Heating systems for use in solid or screeded floors.

‘Whether you’re installing warm-water UFH or laying a floorcovering over an existing system, our partnership provides clear guidance and will help you overcome common installation problems.’

Stuart Wood, product manager – sustainable heating from Polypipe Underfloor Heating said: ‘We’re delighted to be working with ARDEX, ensuring our customers receive the best advice on floor preparation before and after the installation of our underfloor heating systems.

‘ARDEX has worked tirelessly with us over the last few months to create a comprehensive guide that really supports best installation practices for the industry.’
