ACME ALUMINIUM SPREADER PLATE 3 GROOVE

ALUMINIUM SPREADER PLATES FOR WATER UNDERFLOOR HEATING OVER SUSPENDED TIMBER FLOORS

THESE DURABLE 500-MICRON ALUMINIUM SPREADER PLATES PROVIDE AN EFFICIENT SOLUTION FOR INSTALLING WATER UNDERFLOOR HEATING BETWEEN TIMBER JOISTS WHERE A TRADITIONAL SCREED SYSTEM IS NOT SUITABLE. DESIGNED FOR HIGH-OUTPUT SYSTEMS USING 150MM PIPE CENTRES, THEY ENABLE FAST HEAT TRANSFER WITH MINIMAL IMPACT ON FLOOR BUILD-UP HEIGHT.

SPECIFICATION

• PLATE DIMENSIONS: 1000 × 395MM
• MATERIAL: 500-MICRON ALUMINIUM
• SUITABLE FOR: 400MM JOIST CENTRES
• PIPE COMPATIBILITY: WATER UNDERFLOOR HEATING PIPE
• PIPE SPACING: 150MM CENTRES

INSTALLATION

THE SPREADER PLATES ARE POSITIONED ABOVE THE TIMBER JOISTS AND FIXED USING FLAT-HEAD NAILS OR SUITABLE SCREWS. THE UNDERFLOOR HEATING PIPE IS THEN PRESSED INTO THE OMEGA-SHAPED CHANNELS, PROVIDING A SECURE AND EFFECTIVE CONTACT FIT.

HOW THEY WORK

WARM WATER CIRCULATING THROUGH THE UNDERFLOOR HEATING PIPE TRANSFERS HEAT INTO THE ALUMINIUM PLATE. THE PLATE DISTRIBUTES THE HEAT EVENLY ACROSS ITS SURFACE, TRANSFERRING IT THROUGH THE FLOOR STRUCTURE AND INTO THE ROOM ABOVE.

THE HIGH THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF ALUMINIUM PROVIDES RAPID HEAT RESPONSE, ALLOWING THE ROOM TO WARM UP QUICKLY AFTER THE SYSTEM IS SWITCHED ON. WITH A THICKNESS OF ONLY 0.5MM, THE PLATES ADD MINIMAL FLOOR HEIGHT, MAKING THEM IDEAL FOR RETROFIT INSTALLATIONS OVER SUSPENDED OR JOISTED TIMBER FLOORS.

KEY BENEFITS

• FAST HEAT RESPONSE AND EFFICIENT HEAT DISTRIBUTION
• SUITABLE FOR HIGH-OUTPUT UNDERFLOOR HEATING SYSTEMS
• LOW-PROFILE DESIGN WITH MINIMAL FLOOR BUILD-UP
• EASY INSTALLATION BETWEEN TIMBER JOISTS
• IMPROVED HEAT TRANSFER COMPARED WITH PIPE-ONLY INSTALLATIONS
• IDEAL FOR RENOVATION AND RETROFIT PROJECTS
