Profloor Levelling System
Details
The Profloor Levelling System was developed in order that a level finished floor could be laid on a cambered, stepped or uneven subfloor. The system will contribute towards meeting the statutory impact and airborne requirements of the Building Regulations depending on the subfloor construction.
The Profloor Levelling System complements the Profloor Dynamic Batten System which is used on broadly flat and level subfloors to provide impact sound insulation for party floors between flats and apartments. Profloor Levelling bases are also used for any building which requires a level finished floor to be laid on an uneven subfloor.
Types of Base
Levelling bases are manufactured from injection moulded High Grade Polymer, size 70 x 100mm in three types: L, M type with 10mm (uncompressed) foam bonded to the base. Type H is for deeper floors with the foam bonded to softwood inserts of different thickness, which fit under the levelling base.
Type L
Type M
-
Requires 33mm or 45mm thickness battens with packing
-
Floor depth minimum 63mm up to 91mm with 33mm battens with packing
-
Floor depth minimum 75mm up to 103mm with 45mm battens with packing
Type H
Battens
Softwood, straight grained, 21, 33 or 45mm finished thickness x 45mm width, preferably length 1800 mm. Moisture content should not exceed 14%. Preservative treatment can be specified but is not usually considered necessary.
Board Flooring
For domestic use, 18mm C4 T&G chipboard with batten spacing of 450mm is adequate. Boarding such as 22mm chipboard, plywood or hardwood strip can also be used with appropriate batten centres recommended by the manufacturers. Closer batten spacing may be necessary for areas with higher loading ie. communal spaces.
For Non Residential Use
Please contact the Tecline with details of intended use, loading requirements and type of boarding to be used.
