2 There are several different suspended timber floor systems. In general the underfloor heating system will be installed just below the floor deck or, with our Toron System, within the floor deck. The transfer of heat from pipe to floor deck needs to be as efficient as possible to be able to maximise heat output (which also allows flow temperatures to be reduced making, for example, heat pumps more efficient). The floor deck should be laid with the long edges of the floor panels spanning supporting joists with the short edges supported on the centreline of the joist. Floor panels should not be shorter than two joist spaces and should be glued and fixed. Please refer to the British Wood Flooring Association and the floor deck manufacturer s instructions for more detail. Due to the lower mass of a suspended floor compared to that of a screed floor the warm-up time is quicker and the system is therefore more responsive. Metal web or I beam joists In most cases the flange of the joist cannot be notched (to accommodate pipe) and therefore when used with underfloor heating the serving pipe must travel through the web of the joist at the appropriate places. For proprietary suspended systems refer to the manufacturer s instructions. Acoustic Constructions For acoustic constructions please refer to robustdetails.com. For RSD constructions a floating floor treatment is used over the suspended floor. This consists of a batten with a resilient layer bonded to the underside to absorb impact sound. When using RSD constructions and underfloor heating the batten space must be preserved, the underfloor heating system or insulation must ensure the air void is maintained. Please see TX100 for our guide to underfloor heating in Acoustic Constructions.

3 TIMÓLEON DATA SHEET TI TORON FLOORING SYSTEM Toron Flooring System for Suspended Floor Constructions INTRODUCTION The Toron flooring system is a low build up structural underfloor heating system designed to work well with heat pumps. The panels have the pipe as close to the floor finish as possible. This maximises the heat output of the panels whilst minimising the temperature of the water being used. The system replaces the chipboard or plywood floor deck used in the construction, the panels having pre-routed channels to accept the continuous pipe. The Toron panels are laid on the joists according to the Timoleon design, the pipe is then installed into the channels with the ends of each circuit dropping into the joist space to be connected to a common flow and return. Once installed an aluminium strip is applied to further improve performance and provide a method for detecting the pipe. A 6mm covering ply completes the floor. INSTALLATION 1. Lay the Toron plywood or chipboard panels according to the design, starting from the corner of the room. 2. All tongues and grooves must be fully glued and the panels screwed to the top of the joists. 3. Starting at the manifold install the pipe into the channels, following the drawing. 4. Run the pipe into the joist space where the circuits are to be connected to a common flow and return. 5. Notch the joist wherever the pipe will cross and where regulations permit. 6. Pressure test prior to laying floor deck and finish. 7. Use 6mm ply or equivalent to cover the panels. Keep the system under pressure until the covering ply or flooring has been installed. Note : Please refer to installation guides for full installation details SPECIFICATION Timoleon Toron Flooring system with 22mm moisture resistant plywood or chipboard routed to accept 10mm PB pipe to BS7291. The Toron flooring panels laid over the joists at 400mm centres and with a 6mm ply or equivalent laid over. The system to be designed, installed and commissioned to BS1264. TECHNICAL INFORMATION Pipe 10mm x 1.7mm EVOH oxygen barrier PB pipe to Class S BS7291. Panel 22mm tongue and groove Plywood or Chipboard panel (2400mmx600mm) moisture resistant.

5 TIMÓLEON DATA SHEET TI FOILBOARD ECO SUSPENDED FoilBoard Eco for Suspended Floor Constructions INTRODUCTION Our FoilBoard Eco suspended system provides assured performance in timber suspended floors. The nature of the foilboard panel to transfer heat efficiently increases performance by over 30% compared to systems that do not use heat diffusers. The FoilBoard panels are laid between joists supported by brackets. This ensures that the system is in direct contact with the floor deck, maximising the transfer of heat from pipe to the deck. The panels are manufactured from recyclable wood fibre insulation. The ecologically and environmentally friendly panels are source from FSC approved sustainable forestry. The panels have a pre-bonded soft temper aluminium diffuser making the panels easy to trim and adjust on site. Once the brackets are installed the panels drop into place in exactly the right position. Battens can be used to support panels. The standard product is available in 40mm and for joists at 400mm centres however other products are available. INSTALLATION 1. Fix supporting brackets to the side of the joist. 2. Within each joist space lay a FoilBoard loop panel at each end of the run. 3. Lay FoilBoard straight panels between the loop ends, trimming where necessary. 4. Notch the joist wherever the pipe will cross, conforming to current regulations. 5. Starting at the manifold, lay the pipe into the FoilBoard according to the design. 6. Pressure test prior to laying floor deck and finish. Keep under pressure. Note : Please refer to installation guides for full installation details SPECIFICATION Timoleon FoilBoard Eco Suspended system using 15mm PB pipe to BS7291 installed into FoilBoard panels comprising of 40mm Wood Fibre Insulation with pre-bonded heat diffusers to be installed between joists at 400mm centres.

7 ENERGY CONSULTANCY FROM TIMÓLEON Tonos is the energy assessment and consultation service from Timóleon. Tonos plays a key role in helping Timóleon deliver the right long term heating & cooling solution by understanding energy performance in buildings and how we can improve it. The energy we use for heating, lighting and power in our homes produces over a quarter of the UK s CO2 emissions. Other buildings produce a further sixth. With targets set for an 80% reduction in green house gas emissions by 2050, it is now very clear that homeowners, builders, landlords and architects need to take positive action to improve their buildings energy ratings. However, current energy performance certificates (EPCs) only go so far when it comes to making changes. They report on the state of the building and provide outline recommendations. We provide an energy assessment service for Energy Performance Certificates and a consultation service. We support architects and specifiers as well as anyone who is interested in understanding a building s energy performance and how they can improve it. We can provide assessment and consultancy for: Code for sustainable homes SAP SBEM EPCs for both domestic and commercial properties
