EcoWarm parquet: a close-up of the structure
The top wear layer is made of ALI Parquet } SuperPreMass (14 mm) or PreMass (10 mm) pre-finished
solid wood. The use of this pre-finished layer ensures
better heat conductivity than traditional multilayer parquet.
Support layer
Heating film with double protection (IP 67). The film does not require grounding and can be supplied
as necessary in an 80 to 300 Wh/m2 power range.
Insulation layer PVC sheath
Pre-existing floor
The minimum thickness required to lay the EcoWarm parquet system is 18 mm
is suitable for use in any type of civil, com- mercial or industrial building, and can be laid anywhere except in humid surround- ings, such as bathrooms, kitchens, or laun- dry rooms. By simply plugging in to the building's electric circuit, the EcoWarm par-
quet system offers the ideal solution for peo- ple who have already installed photovolta- ic systems. EcoWarm parquet by ALI Par- quets holds all the right cards to be an in- novative and energy-efficient system that ensures ideal living comfort. s
HEAT FEELS AT HOME
The EcoWarm parquet system: details and features
• Rapid heating: the special support layers inserted between the pre-finished solid wood parquet and the heat radiation film allow the room to be heated much faster than by hydraulically heated floors.
• Quick and easy installation: assembly
is performed together with the laying of the parquet
by qualified installers; electric connections must be made by certified electricians who have to sign conformity certificates.
• Particularly advisable when restructuring:
its reduced thickness eliminates the need for disassembly and waste material removal costs, avoiding noise, smells, and dust while reducing installation times
to a minimum. Thanks to this slenderness, it can also be used in just one room by inserting the respective inclined connecting strip near the doors.
• Temperature under constant control: to obtain the best environmental comfort, the temperature of the floor must never exceed 30 °C. In order to ensure correct operation and efficient management, a thermostat and thermometer must be installed in every room to measure and control floor temperature.
• Optimized performance: the use of SuperPreMass
and PreMass pre-finished solid wood parquet permits more efficient heat conductivity than with multilayer parquet.
• Anywhere but bathrooms or kitchens: EcoWarm parquet
is not designed for installation in humid areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, or laundry rooms.
• Easily matched with photovoltaic systems: the EcoWarm parquet system creates perfect synergy with photovoltaic systems.
The EcoWarm
parquet system
is the ideal solution
for anyone in search of
floor heating who does not
want a hydraulic loop heating
system or has worries about pipes leaking or breaking. Furthermore, the EcoWarm parquet system is remarkably easy to install because it is laid on existing floors and can be quickly pulled up and used elsewhere. Plus, it can
be installed in just one room in the house or office
by inserting an inclined connecting strip near the doors
to make up for the minimum thickness. The main features of the EcoWarm parquet system can be summarized below.
