EASY – the insulating panel
The Flooré EASY panel is made of high density expanded polystyrene (EPS) with pre-cut grooves and is laminated with aluminium foil. A difference, in comparison to the Flooréwa panel, is that each EASY panel is equipped with straight and U-turn grooves. Furthermore, EASY has thermal insulation underneath the pipe groove.
The installation of EASY is as simple and beneficial as Flooréwa and is the natural selection if additional thermal insulation is required in the floor construction. EASY is manufactured for use of 12– or 16 mm pipes. Both alternatives have two panel thicknesses as standard, please see below.

Conditions |

The condition for using Flooréwa is that there is a plane floor construction surface onto which the panel can be set, for example a concrete or wood chip board surface. Flooréwa cannot be mounted on top of wood beams. Normally, Flooréwa is glued onto the substrate either with solvent-free universal floor adhesives or with cementitious adhesives (adhesives used for large ceramic tiles). It does not work well to install the panels floating, in other words without mechanical or chemical bonding onto the substrate, primarily due to movements when the pipe is set into the groove. |
| Facilitates the installation and lowers the loads on the floor construction. |
|
| LOW BUILDING HEIGHT |
|
| The building height of the system is restricted by the diameter of the pipe. The flooring material is set directly on the panels and will in this way minimise the total building height. Please refer to the section “Flooring”. |
|
| QUICK THERMAL RESPONSE |
|
| The short distance and small thermal resistance between the pipe water and floor surface gives quick thermal response and possibilities of controlling temperature changes. |
|
| EXCELLENT HEAT DISTRIBUTION |
|
| Thanks to the aluminium foil, heat is conducted from the pipe so that an even and comfortable heat is distributed across the floor surface. |
|
| FLEXIBILITY |
|
| During installation, the panels are easy to work on and adjust to the specific spaces. It reduces labour time. |
