The VLo Ultra-12 Low Build System – A Versatile Hydro System

The Ultra-12 is an upgrade of Warmup’s popular Total-16 Low-Profile System. It is the perfect choice for both off-plan projects and for retrofitting in home refurbishments, adding only 18mm to the floor height. Offering a screedless installation, the durable and lightweight VLo Ultra-12 features in-built insulation, making it a great all-rounder for use in all UFH room types.

The Ultra-12 also features an aluminium diffuser for even heat spread and its cleverly designed panels have innovative decoupling attributes too, which helps protect the final floor finish from any potential damage caused by lateral subfloor movement. This makes this system perfect for use with tiled and floating floors.

The VLo Nexxa-12 Castellated System – Ideal for Insulated Floors

The VLo Nexxa-12 Castellated System is ideal for renovation projects that either already feature sufficient levels of floor insulation or new high-quality insulation material can be purchased and fitted alongside the system. Allowing a quick installation, the Nexxa-12’s heating pipe can be fitted by hand within the unique castellated panels which allow an optimal and individualised heating layout before a layer of screed is applied. This means you can specify exactly where you require heating, easily navigating fixed objects in the room such as bathtubs or large floor cabinets.
With fast response times and excellent heat output with low water low temperatures, the VLo Nexxa-12 is suitable for use with all floor finishes and is a great way to bring the luxury of underfloor heating to your home.

The VLo Econna-12 Joisted Floor System – Perfect for Period Home Renovations

If you’re undertaking a period home refurbishment project, then the VLo Econna -12 would be an excellent choice. The Econna-12 has been designed for use with timber suspended and battened floors, leaving the void between them free for insulation material and other plumbing and electrical services.
The system allows quick installation times due to its dry installation method and one-piece panel design. The 22mm slimline panels feature a built-in layer of diffusion foil which helps to facilitate an even and consistent heat distribution, ensuring no hot or cold spots. The Eccona-12 is also TRADA tested and certified for its structural performance.
