22mm Chip-R Foil Faced 22 x 600 x 240mm (12mm @150mm C/C)

Brenton 22mm Foil-Faced Structural Underfloor Heating Panel (for 16mm Pipe)

Upgrade suspended timber floors with a high-strength 22mm foil-faced underfloor heating panel designed to combine structural performance with efficient heat delivery. This engineered chipboard panel provides a practical, single-layer solution for supporting floor loads while evenly distributing heat from warm water pipework.

Key Features and Advantages

Structural Floor and Heating Layer Combined
Designed to function as both a structural decking panel and a heat transfer surface, reducing installation stages and eliminating the need for additional spreader plates.

Efficient Heat Distribution
A bonded aluminium foil layer reflects heat upward across the floor surface, improving heat spread and helping rooms reach temperature more quickly with lower system demand.

Precision-Machined Pipe Channels
Factory-cut grooves at 150mm centres securely hold standard 16mm underfloor heating pipe, including smooth curved returns to simplify pipe installation and reduce installation time.

Durable Flooring-Grade Construction
Manufactured from 22mm P5 moisture-resistant chipboard, suitable for domestic and light commercial applications. The tongue-and-groove edge profile on all sides ensures tight joints and a solid, uniform floor deck.

Suitable for Common Joist Layouts
Compatible with typical timber joist spacings (generally up to 600mm, subject to building regulations), making the panels suitable for new builds, refurbishments, and extension projects.

Reduced Floor Height Impact
The integrated design minimises overall floor build-up, making it especially useful where maintaining finished floor levels is essential.

Installation Guidance

Panels are fixed directly to timber joists using suitable flooring screws, with chipboard adhesive applied to all tongue-and-groove joints to prevent movement and eliminate squeaks. Once installed, the surface provides a strong and level base ready to receive a wide range of floor finishes, including laminate, engineered wood, carpet, and tiled systems (subject to manufacturer-approved primers or screeds where required).
