Install Process
Wunda Rapid Response Overfloor® was recommended to the home owner by the heating engineer who had already installed it for a previous customer. It was scheduled in to the extension build first fix taking 5 days to install from start to fully commissioned and working.
Rather than installing a screed system in the new area of the home and retrofitting Rapid Response® in the existing areas, Wunda recommended fitting Rapid Response® throughout the ground floor. Ensuring consistent controllability.
This was done by screeding up to the height of the existing space in the extension. Providing a level subfloor throughout the new and old spaces to lay the Rapid Response® underfloor heating system.
Firstly the manifold was assembled and fixed to an interior garage wall as specified by the Wunda design team.
Using the layout plan provided by Wunda the boards were first ‘dry laid’ and cut as required to ensure the plan matched the floor layout. The 22ltr Wunda Spray adhesive canister and lance were used to fix the boards to both the concrete and wooden sub-floors.
Following the pipe layout plan, the pipe was run into the channels on the boards to create the required loops for the zones to be heated.
Once the system was pressure tested, the panels were primed and then tiled onto directly.
Heat-up times are fast because the warm water pipes are just beneath the final floor finish.
