At this year’s Installer Show, Schlüter-Systems (stand H20, Birmingham NEC, 27-29 June 2023) will be focusing on their impressive range of underfloor heating solutions which comprise both electric and hydronic (water-fed) systems. The new DITRA-HEAT-PS is a peel and stick version of the company’s established electric system. The membrane enables simple, clean and quick installation of electric underfloor heating with a thin layer of pre-applied pressure sensitive adhesive on the underside.

It is a great solution when tiling on P5 or green chipboard; and will work with other substrates provided they are rigid, even, load bearing, clean and dust-free. In addition, Schlüter-Systems will demonstrate Schlüter®-BEKOTEC-THERM, the water-fed underfloor heating solution with low construction height. The modular system results in an energy-efficient heated floor system with low water supply temperatures. The team will be conducting practical demonstrations throughout the show. The sales and technical teams will be on the stand to answer queries and there will be lots of samples to see and take away. www.schluter.co.uk
