LDPE edge strip

Homepage Product Catalogue LDPE edge strip

The LDPE edge strip is a flexible expansion joint element used with screeds and underfloor heating systems, designed to compensate for thermal expansion, protect against stress-induced damage, and prevent the transfer of forces to walls. Its laminated film enhances durability and moisture resistance.

What is the product?

The LDPE edge strip, made of expanded polyethylene, is a key component in underfloor heating systems, serving as an expansion joint. Its application allows for the compensation of the floor’s thermal expansion, preventing tensions and cracks. Additionally, the strip features a laminated LDPE film on half of one side, enhancing its resistance to moisture and mechanical damage.

Application

The LDPE edge strip, made of expanded polyethylene, is a key component in underfloor heating systems, serving as an expansion joint that separates the floor from walls and other vertical structural elements. Installed along the room’s perimeter before pouring the screed, it allows for the compensation of the floor’s thermal expansion, preventing tensions and cracks. Additionally, the strip features a laminated LDPE film on half of one side, enhancing its resistance to moisture and mechanical damage.

Advantages

thermal expansion accommodation: facilitates the independent movement of screed and floor layers, compensating for thermal expansion and preventing force-induced damage.
force isolation: acts as a buffer, preventing the transfer of thermal and mechanical forces to walls and other structural components
laminated LDPE film: enhances moisture resistance and overall durability, making it ideal for use in underfloor heating systems where moisture exposure is common
