Abstract

A flooring underlayment system including a plurality of layers disposed adjacently to one another. Certain embodiments may include a plurality of protrusions disposed on a molded castellation layer; a non-woven fleece layer disposed beneath the molded castellation layer; an aluminum layer disposed beneath the non-woven fleece layer; an insulation layer disposed beneath the aluminum layer; a reinforcement mesh layer disposed beneath the insulation layer; a decoupling layer disposed beneath the reinforcement mesh layer; and a self-adhesive layer disposed beneath the decoupling layer. The aforementioned layers may be adhered together via a multitude of adhesive layers. The floor heating system may improve temperature control of the floor, while reducing both thermal and acoustic energy loss into a subfloor, while further increasing the strength of the flooring underlayment system.

Abstract

A support structure for a heating or cooling system includes a plurality of projections designed to be capable of retaining one or more thermal elements positioned adjacent thereto. The projections are positioned so as to form a first set of substantially parallel undulating channels, each channel having one of the projections forming at least a part of the inner radius of each undulation, with each projection having a recess formed in a side wall thereof facing said channel. The undulations of the channel ensure that a thermal element positioned in the channel will make contact with the projections each time it has to bend around one, without requiring spacing of the projections to squeeze the thermal element. The thermal element can thus be held securely without any play (unwanted lateral movement) in a channel that is slightly wider than the thermal element. Recesses in the channels at the contact points also restrict movement in the vertical direction, thus preventing the thermal element from ‘popping out’ of the channel, while not requiring any restriction narrower than the thermal element.

Abstract

A support structure for a heating or cooling system comprises a base; and a plurality of projections that extend from said base and are capable of retaining one or more thermal elements positioned adjacent thereto; wherein each of said projections comprises a wall extending from said base, at least part of said wall having an oscillating form to increase the crush resistance of the support structure. During installation, many potential sources of pressure that can crush and/or damage the structure. For example, an installer may stand on the structure while inserting the thermal elements, or heavy equipment may apply a concentrated load upon the structure. The walls of the structure are largely responsible for crush resistance of the structure, wherein an oscillating wall has an effective thickness greater than its actual thickness and enhances crush resistance of the structure without a large increase in material.
