Planning
ECOfloor Slim is the radiant system in plasterboard panels of only 18 mm for the construction of ultra-low-profile dry floors. ECOfloor Silm panels are pre-shaped to house hydraulic circuits and can be equipped with insulating plates on the underside. The hydraulic circuits with PE-RT multilayer pipe with 12x1,3 mm diameter are placed directly in the traces of the panels to form the radiant coils. The reduced thickness of the radiant system gives it a reduced thermal inertia, guaranteeing a quicker set-up and a faster response to regulation, both in heating and cooling.
