The Staple system has been developed primarily for the installation of underfloor heating pipe coils over screeded sub-floors, with the pipework itself being held in place using barbed clips, which bite into the insulation. The Timoleon Gridded Insulation boards feature an aluminium foil surface that offers enhanced retention characteristics as well as a convenient grid guide, which assists in achieving a regular pattern at the specified 150 mm centres. The Foilboard Batten system’s panels are intended to fit between timber battens and feature soft-temper aluminium heat diffusers. enquiry number 900 New commercial boiler raises temperature at Bristol College From Alpha Heating Innovation Electric Boiler meets heating needs at de-commissioned Nuclear Power Station From Atlantic Boilers Leisure Centre reduces running costs with the Evomax from Ideal Commercial Boilers Leading British manufacturer Ideal Commercial Boilers has supplied five Evomax 80kW high efficiency condensing wall hung boilers to New Forest District Council, which have been installed at Totton Health and Leisure Centre, Southampton.
