Overview
Our Snug Low-Profile Groove Board system makes underfloor heating achievable when floor height is an issue, at just 18mm thick. Our easy to follow, unique board and pipe layout designs speed up your installation time.
Tiles can be laid directly on top of the boards, removing the need for screed, and speeding up the overall time of the project. This system is ideal for retrofits and renovations.
What’s unique about the Low-Profile Groove Board Snug system?
- It’s 45% cheaper than castellation mats and levelling compound.
- It saves valuable floor height. On average it’s 3mm lower than using a low-profile castellation system with 16mm pipes and levelling compound.
- It’s fast. Because it doesn’t need levelling compound, you don’t have to wait for anything to cure, so you can just tile straight on top.
- Our low-profile groove boards hold heat so it slowly radiates into the room, making the system extremely energy efficient and spreading heat more evenly.
- Our Snug Support low-profile ends are the most versatile on the market and make it easier to install pipes in narrow halls than with castellation mats. Plus, they’re installer friendly, letting pipework turn easily within the room for fast, simple, stress-free fitting and removing any need to cut them.
- Our Snug low-profile end supports and low-profile groove boards often allow for direct installation of your chosen floor finish, potentially eliminating the need for levelling compounds or ply boards. However, this will vary depending on the specific flooring material.
