Acoustic Water Underfloor Heating
Adding an acoustic layer in a floor to reduce impact sound transfer can assist with achieving Approved Document Part E compliance in both new builds and renovation / change of use projects. However, there can be challenges when installing water underfloor heating within such floor systems. Fortunately, both the Profix® panel and the Profix® PLUS water panels are ideal products for use as part of an acoustic water underfloor heating system.
To find out more about our range of water underfloor heating systems for acoustic floors, continue reading.
Profix® Acoustic Floor Systems
The Profix® and the Profix® PLUS panels can be used as part of an acoustic water underfloor heating solution on either concrete or suspended timber separating floors.
When combined with a thin compressed rubber acoustic isolation mat, they create a low-profile warm-water underfloor heating solution delivering high heat outputs and fast response times, together with impact noise reduction.

Take a look at some of the Profix® acoustic water underfloor heating systems:
Profix® Ultra-Low-Profile Screed System for Suspended Floors
This system combines the Profix® Panel with a quick-drying cement-based levelling compound, laid over a compressed rubber acoustic isolation mat to create a very thin, high heat output, water underfloor heating solution with improved airborne and impact sound performance.
Profix® Ultra-Low-Profile Screed System for Concrete Separating Floors
This system combines the Profix® Panel with a quick-drying cement-based levelling compound, laid over a thin compressed rubber acoustic isolation mat to create a very thin, high heat output, underfloor heating solution with improved airborne and impact sound performance.
Profix® Grooved Screed Panel System for Suspended Timber Separating Floors
This system combines 18mm T & G Grooved Dry Screed Replacement Panels, grooved for either 10mm or 12mm diameter pipes @ 150mm centres, with Profix® End-Return Panels, laid over a compressed rubber acoustic isolation mat to create a thin, high heat output, primarily dry-fit underfloor heating solution with improved airborne and impact sound performance.
Profix® Grooved Screed Panel System for Concrete Separating Floors
This system combines 18mm T & G Grooved Dry Screed Replacement Panels, grooved for either 10mm or 12mm diameter pipes @ 150mm centres, with Profix® End-Return Panels, laid over a compressed rubber acoustic isolation mat to create a thin, high heat output, primarily dry-fit underfloor heating solution with improved airborne and impact sound performance.
Profix® Heat Diffuser System (Premium) for Acoustic Floors
The Profix® Heat Diffuser System (Premium) can be used to create a dry-fit acoustic underfloor heating solution on either a separating suspended timber floor or a separating concrete floor. This system pairs the Profix® Panel with Profix® Heat Diffuser Plates and 18mm T & G Dry Screed Replacement Panels for a completely dry-fit, fast-track installation. Floor build-up for this system is just 36.5mm when used in combination with a 3mm compressed rubber acoustic isolation mat.

Profix® PLUS Specifications:
Take a look at some of the Profix® PLUS acoustic underfloor heating systems:
Profix® PLUS Pipe in Flowing Screed System for Suspended Timber Separating Floors
This system combines the Profix® PLUS Panel with a either a cement-based flowing screed or levelling compound, or an anhydrite (gypsum-based) flowing screed, laid over a compressed rubber acoustic isolation mat to create a thin, high heat output, underfloor heating solution with improved airborne and impact sound performance.
Profix® PLUS Pipe in Flowing Screed System for Concrete Separating Floors
This system combines the Profix® PLUS Panel with a either a cement-based flowing screed or levelling compound, or an anhydrite (gypsum-based) flowing screed, laid over a compressed rubber acoustic isolation mat to create a thin, high heat output, underfloor heating solution with improved airborne and impact sound performance.
Profix® PLUS Pipe In Void System for Acoustic Floors
The Profix® PLUS Pipe in Void System can be used to create a dry-fit acoustic underfloor heating solution on either a separating concrete floor or a separating suspended timber floor. This system pairs the Profix® PLUS Panel with 18mm T & G Dry Screed Replacement Panel for completely dry-fit, fast-track installation in very well insulated properties, ideally those which meet Passivhaus standard, where heat losses are minimal and only relatively low heat outputs are required to fulfil the space heating requirements. Floor build-up for this system is just 41mm when combined with a 3mm compressed rubber acoustic isolation mat.
Profix® PLUS Pipe in Diffuser Plates System for Acoustic Floors
The Profix® PLUS Pipe in Heat Diffuser Plates System can be used to create a dry-fit acoustic underfloor heating solution on either a concrete separating floor or a suspended timber separating floor. This system pairs the Profix® PLUS Panel with Profix® PLUS Heat Diffuser Plates and 18mm T & G Dry Screed Replacement Panels for completely dry-fit, fast-track installation with enhanced heat output and faster system response. Floor build-up for this system is just 41.5mm when combined with a 3mm compressed rubber acoustic isolation mat.
Underfloor Heating Panel Applications
Solid Floor
Underfloor Heating
The 15mm Profix® Panel for 10mm to 12mm diameter pipes enables a high efficiency warm-water underfloor heating system to be installed on a solid floor with the underfloor heating pipework arranged in serpentine configuration.
Suspended Timber Floor
Underfloor Heating
The 15mm Profix® Panel for 10mm to 12mm diameter pipes can be installed on a suspended timber floor to create a high performance warm-water underfloor heating solution.
Acoustic Floor
Underfloor Heating
When combined with a thin compressed rubber acoustic isolation mat, the 15mm Profix® Panel for 10mm to 12mm diameter pipes can be used as an integral part of a warm-water underfloor heating solution, on separating solid floors or separating timber suspended floors, with the added benefit of impact noise reduction.
Underfloor Heating By Property Type
Underfloor heating for new builds
Warm-water underfloor heating is a cost-effective, energy efficient space heating solution for new build properties.
With their self-adhesive backing and interlocking features, Profix® underfloor heating panels are very quick to installand guarantee the UFH pipework is always positioned at the correct spacing.
Incorporating a Profix® low-temperature warm-water underfloor heating system in a new build property, powered by a heat pump, will provide a ‘future-proofed’ space heating solution complying with the requirements of The Future Homes Standard and The Future Buildings Standard.
Underfloor heating for renovations
With its large surface area, a warm-water underfloor heating system can be an ideal space heating solution for retrofit projects.
At just 15mm in height, and with the added benefit of a self-adhesive backing, Profix® underfloor heating panels offer a very thin, fast-fix solution.
The self-adhesive backing on every 15mm Profix® Panel removes the risk of mechanical fixings compromising any hidden services within the existing sub-floor and, thanks to their very low profile, result in only a minimal increase to the current floor height.
