ACME ALUMINIUM SPREADER PLATE DOUBLE GROOVE

ALUMINIUM SPREADER PLATES FOR WATER UNDERFLOOR HEATING OVER SUSPENDED TIMBER FLOORS

500-MICRON (0.5MM) ALUMINIUM SPREADER PLATES PROVIDE AN EFFECTIVE SOLUTION FOR INSTALLING WATER UNDERFLOOR HEATING BETWEEN TIMBER JOISTS WHERE SCREED INSTALLATION IS NOT POSSIBLE. DESIGNED FOR STANDARD OUTPUT SYSTEMS WITH 200MM PIPE CENTRES, THEY OFFER EFFICIENT HEAT TRANSFER WITH MINIMAL FLOOR HEIGHT INCREASE.

SPECIFICATION

• MATERIAL: 500-MICRON (0.5MM) ALUMINIUM
• PLATE SIZE: 1000 × 395MM
• SUITABLE JOIST SPACING: 400MM CENTRES
• PIPE SPACING: 200MM CENTRES
• APPLICATION: SUSPENDED AND JOISTED TIMBER FLOORS

INSTALLATION

THE SPREADER PLATES ARE INSTALLED ABOVE THE TIMBER JOISTS AND SECURED USING FLAT-HEAD NAILS OR SUITABLE SCREWS. THE UNDERFLOOR HEATING PIPE IS INSERTED INTO THE OMEGA-SHAPED CHANNELS TO PROVIDE A SECURE FIT AND MAXIMISE HEAT TRANSFER.

HOW THEY WORK

WARM WATER CIRCULATING THROUGH THE UNDERFLOOR HEATING PIPE TRANSFERS HEAT INTO THE ALUMINIUM SPREADER PLATES. THE PLATES DISTRIBUTE THE HEAT EVENLY ACROSS THEIR SURFACE, TRANSFERRING WARMTH THROUGH THE FLOOR STRUCTURE AND INTO THE ROOM ABOVE.

THE HIGH THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF ALUMINIUM PROVIDES A FAST HEAT RESPONSE, ALLOWING ROOMS TO REACH COMFORTABLE TEMPERATURES QUICKLY AFTER THE SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED. WITH A THICKNESS OF ONLY 0.5MM, THE PLATES ADD MINIMAL FLOOR BUILD-UP, MAKING THEM IDEAL FOR RETROFIT INSTALLATIONS OVER TIMBER JOIST FLOORS.

KEY BENEFITS

• EFFICIENT HEAT DISTRIBUTION ACROSS THE FLOOR AREA
• FAST RESPONSE AND RAPID WARM-UP TIME
• MINIMAL IMPACT ON FLOOR HEIGHT
• SIMPLE INSTALLATION BETWEEN TIMBER JOISTS
• SECURE PIPE LOCATION WITH OMEGA-SHAPED CHANNELS
• IDEAL FOR RENOVATION AND RETROFIT PROJECTS
