Application

Particularly suitable for retrofits and off-plan sales into new builds where floor height is at a premium.

Description

The VLo Ultra-12 is a lightweight and robust underfloor heating system. The range comprises of five panels, maximising usability for the installer, with each panel purposely designed to hold the pipe securely across the entire floor.


Designed for use with Warmup’s 12 mm PE-RT pipe that inserts directly into the board channels for quick and easy installation, the system has been created with speed and efficiency in mind.


The straight panel with omega profiled 150 µm aluminium diffuser channels ensures maximum surface contact between the aluminium diffuser and PE-RT pipe; optimising heat output, reducing heat up times whilst also minimising heat loss through increased insulation.


The aluminium surface of the heating panels is covered with a securely bonded, fibreglass reinforced fleece, providing an ideal surface for tiling, removing the need for specialist primers.


Features and benefits:

  • Low profile floor finish.
  • High system performance.
  • Robust and efficient panels.
  • Quick and easy installation.
  • Lightweight.
  • Maximum user usability with five panels.
  • Optimises heat output and minimises heat loss.
  • Low running costs.
  • Used with traditional boilers and heat pumps.


System components:

  • PE-RT Pipe - Warmup PE-RT (Polyethylene of Raised Temperature Resistance) pipe. The pipe guarantees leak free performance with a smooth internal structure for improved flow, reduced pressure loss and deposit formation. 
  • Warmup Primer (ACC-PRIMER) - A ready to use, bond enhancing and solvent-free single component primer for the preparation of absorbent and non-absorbent floors and walls with or without surface heating.
  • Pipe bend supports (WHS-P-BEND12) - Used for supporting pipes to make a smooth 90-degree turn where needed and provides a rigid bend which changes the pipes direction without causing excessive bending.
  • Pipe clips (UK-WUK-HY-ACC-PIPECLIPS12) - The robust pipe clips feature a press in to secure and press in to release design making mounting of the pipe easy. They link together to form a single rail and secure pipes at 25 mm centres, neatly aligning them to the manifold ports.
