EPS 16 – LK Slotted Board EPS 16 is designed for laying over a load-bearing floor. This exceptionally low construction height system is made up of slotted insulation boards, 16 mm thick, with an aluminium heat distribution plate, 0.5 mm thick, factory fixed. The heat distribution plate covers the entire surface of the insulation board. The slotted board, turning board and feeding board are made of high density EPS and provides extremely high resistance to short and long term compression.
Requirements – LK recommends the use of “weather compensation” control of flow temperature for optimum efficiency and that manifolds are balanced in line with LK design data. The settings should be recorded for future reference. The plates must be laid load bearing floors only. Suitable floor structures are solid floors or suspended floors of minimum 22 mm floor grade chipboard fixed to joists spaced at a maximum of 600 mm. Where ceramic tiles are to be used over suspended floors cross batten at 300 mm.
