THERMIO® MAX FD E2C
GUARANTEED HIGH PERFORMANCE OF UNDERFLOOR HEATING
THERMIO® MAX FD E2C® is a specialist screed engineered to maximise the efficiency of underfloor heating and cooling systems. It is specifically formulated to complement low-temperature systems, delivering enhanced thermal performance alongside reduced construction timelines.
Advanced Technology for Fast-Track Delivery
The incorporation of FD (Faster Drying) and E2C (Early to Cover) technologies enables THERMIO MAX FD E2C to meet the demands of time-critical projects:
- FD (Faster Drying): Reduces drying times by at least 50%, accelerating access for follow-on trades and earlier floor covering installation
- E2C (Early to Cover): Allows the application of bonded floor finishes from approximately 2% residual moisture content, supporting programme certainty

THERMIO® MAX FD E2C is uniquely positioned as a screed with BBA-certified thermal performance, providing assurance of its in-service efficiency and reliability. By integrating COOL-TEC® technology, THERMIO® MAX FD E2C provides year-round thermal comfort, optimising performance in both heating and cooling modes.
