Description
When installing over suspended timber floors, ensure the structure is secure, fixing any
loose or damaged timber & check with a suitably qualified person the floor is capable
of withstanding the additional weight & take any necessary measures to strengthen the
structure. Fill any gaps to prevent self-levelling compound from leaking through.
The JG LowFit
C
astellated
P
anel is a 16mm deep
castellated panel (0.6m² effective area per panel). It is
designed to be used with 12mm JG polybutylene barrier
pipe and self-levelling screed (typical overall system
depth 18-20mm) to provide a high output, low profile
UFH solution.
Each panel has a 50mm overlap to give additional strength and support.
In addition, the panel has a self-adhesive backing to make installation
easier and has been made with additional holes to enable the screed to
adhere to the substrate below giving a solid, stable structure.
Please Note
– These instructions are provided to give guidance on the
correct installation of the JG
Castellated
P
anel system. They are not
intended to be, or provided as, comprehensive system design guides or
complete UFH installation instructions. In all cases, installers are
reminded that UFH installations need to comply with relevant Building
Regulations, British Standards, and manufacturer’s instructions.
Installation
1.
Check Floor Levels
Before laying the
JG Lowfit Ca
stellated
P
anel, ensure that the floor is level
and without undulations or high/low spots. Check that the sub floor is flat &
level to meet SR2 flatness requirement, which is 5mm over a 2m distance. It
may be necessary to pour a self-levelling floor mixture before installation to
ensure a
suitable surface.
2.
Clean and prime
The JG LowFit
Castellated Panel
can be laid on a concrete, plywood, or
chipboard floor but in all cases the floor should be swept free of debris and
then primed using
a suitable floor primer available from a wide range of
suppliers. Once the primer has cured (follow the manufacturer’s
instructions), you can begin to lay the plastic panels.
