The Warmafloor Tacker System is a new system developed for use in conjunction with the latest laminated insulation panels to provide a more secure method of pipe fixing than the clip rail system. The insulation panels are expanded polystyrene laminated with a fabric polythene re-enforcing foil. The foil is water resistant and is provided with overlaps on two adjacent sides to cover adjacent panels.
Edge insulation is laid around the area to be heated, providing a barrier against perimeter heat loss and for expansion. The Warmafloor insulated Tacker insulation panels are then laid over the complete floor area. Warmafloor PB pipework is then laid out in circuits and secured into the Tacker panel by specially designed staples, installed with a Tacker gun. These staples are fully retained by the fabric thereby preventing the pipe lifting during the screeding process. The underfloor pipe work is connected to the Warmafloor manifold, filled with water and pressurised to check for water tightness.
As soon as practical after the installation is completed the screed should be laid over the system to the required depth.
Before using the Warmafloor system or applying any floor covering the screed must be allowed to dry until full strength is reached when the system can be allowed to warm up over a period of days to allow moisture to escape.
