16mm Tekwarm Lite Low Profile UFH Board | 1200mm x 600mm | 150mm Centres for 12mm Pipe

Product Overview:
Tekwarm Lite Low Profile UFH Overlay Boards are high-quality, low-profile insulated underfloor heating (UFH) boards designed for efficient and speedy installation over a flat level subfloor. These boards boast a high compressive strength of 300 kPa, making them ideal for low profile UFH systems. With durable cement coatings on both faces, they are ready for direct application of tiles or wood flooring (on underlay). The board size is 1200mm x 600mm x 16mm, featuring grooves on one face to accommodate a 12mm diameter underfloor heating pipes, ensuring ease of installation with standard radius returns. Custom routed pipe layouts and patterns are also available.

Key Features:
- Low-profile insulated underfloor heating board
- High compressive strength of 300 kPa (kiloPascals)
- Durable cement coatings on both faces for direct application of tiles or wood flooring
- Board size: 1200mm x 600mm x 16mm
- Grooved face for easy installation of 12mm diameter underfloor heating pipes
- Suitable for new build or retrofit installations
- Standard pattern board usually available from stock

Installation Guidelines:
Timber Base: Use Tekwarm mechanical fixings and washers to secure the boards to the timber subfloor. Ensure the fixings are of appropriate length for the application.

Concrete Base: Adhere the Tekwarm boards to the concrete using a bed of combed tile adhesive (S1 or equivalent). In some cases, mechanical fixings may also be required depending on the substrate.

Finishing: In most applications, an additional board is not necessary, and flooring can be directly laid on the upper surface. Wood flooring requires a suitable underlay following the manufacturer's instructions. Flooring grade tiles can be laid on a combed tile adhesive layer. For other finishes, use a separating layer of Tekwarm Overlay Board before installation.

Suitable For: Tekwarm Lite Low Profile UFH Boards are suitable for both new construction and retrofit installations. The standard pattern board is typically available from stock, ensuring quick access for your projects.

Frequently asked questions

This is the 16mm thick board, what pipe size does it work with?

Grooved for 12mm pipe at 150mm centres. The 16mm in the name is the board thickness, not the pipe. It's the slimmest board in the Lite LP range, built for jobs where you genuinely can't afford to add more height. If you're running 16mm diameter pipe there's a separate version for that.

Is it the same board just thinner?

Same footprint, 1200mm x 600mm, 0.72 m² per board, 300 kPa XPS core, cement-coated both faces. The only difference is 16mm thick rather than 20mm. Four millimetres doesn't sound like much but in a bathroom retrofit where you're tying into the hallway level, it regularly makes the difference.

Anything different about fitting the 16mm version?

Nothing dramatic. Same fixings into timber, same S1 adhesive on concrete. Just make sure the subfloor is properly flat and level beforehand since there's less board to compensate for any variation. Press the 12mm pipe in and finish as normal.

What kind of jobs is the 16mm/12mm/150mm board the go-to for?

Bathroom and hallway renovations where the floor has to tie in flush with the rest of the house. Also kitchens where a raised threshold would be too visible. At 150mm centres it works as a primary heat source in rooms with moderate heat demand, not just a secondary option. If floor height is tight, this is the one.

Is there any reason not to use the thinner board everywhere?

The 20mm board is the better default. It sits more solidly underfoot, offers slightly better insulation, and is what most installers reach for. The 16mm board earns its place when floor height is the deciding factor. Bathroom renovations, tight threshold levels, strict build-up limits. Use 16mm where you need it, 20mm everywhere else.

I really recommend using these boards as they are very strong and easy to lay them. Price was reasonable as well compared to other shops.
