Schlüter-BEKOTEC-THERM underfloor heating
The large-scale heat distribution throughout the entire room makes underfloor heating the ideal medium for ecological and economical heating.
However, in practice, it is difficult to reconcile the structural, physical, and heating requirements for underfloor heating. The specifications set out in the regulations, for example regarding screed thickness, expansion joints, reinforcement inserts, or residual moisture, have often proven to be insufficient in practice. Conventional heating screeds with tile coverings often develop bulges and cracks. This is partly because screed and tiles expand or contract differently when exposed to temperature changes due to their differing thermal expansion coefficients.
In terms of heating, the relatively large screed mass of conventional structures has the disadvantage that a lot of heat energy must first be supplied and stored. As a result, conventional underfloor heating can be slow to respond to temperature changes.
The complete Schlüter-BEKOTEC-THERM system provides a comprehensive solution to these problems and is protected by an international process patent. The name “BEKOTEC” stands for the covering construction technology and “THERM” for the heating components. The system is based on a thin-layer screed that is applied to the BEKOTEC studded panels and reduces compressive stresses in the stud grid.
