Can I use NORIT-TE 20 in a bathroom?
Yes, up to water exposure class W1-I according to DIN 18534, such as a bathroom floor in a home, with suitable waterproofing. Not under a walk-in shower with a floor drain; that falls into class W2-I.
Do I need to screw the boards?
No. You glue the boards in the groove and click them together. Screws or staples are not needed.
How many boards do I need?
One board covers 0.72 m². With approx. 10 % cutting waste, calculate: area × 1.1 ÷ 0.72. For 40 m² that is 62 boards. In addition, allow on average approx. 1 m of edge insulation per m² and one 1 kg bottle of NORIT-TE adhesive per approx. 40 m².
Is NORIT-TE 20 combustible?
No. The board has fire class A1 according to EN 13501-1: non-combustible.
Can I use underfloor heating?
Yes. NORIT-TE 20 then lies as the screed on a NORIT-TE Therm GF element, for example NORIT-TE 25 Therm GF, or on a dry-build underfloor heating system such as JUPITER IDEAL. A Therm GF element can also be used without an extra screed; it is then screed and underfloor heating in one. Ask us for advice on the build-up that suits your project.
Which NORIT-TE Therm GF elements are available?
Three: NORIT-TE 20 Therm GF (pipe 12 mm, push-fit joint), NORIT-TE 25 Therm GF (pipe 16 mm, push-fit joint) and NORIT-TE 30 Therm GF (pipe 12 mm, click joint).
Are there thinner or thicker boards?
Yes. NORIT-TE 15 is 15 mm thick and has a push-fit joint. NORIT-TE 25 is 25 mm thick and has a click joint. The right thickness depends on your build-up; feel free to ask for advice.
