Gyvlon Screed

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.

Enhanced Performance for Underfloor Heating Systems

THERMIO® MAX FD E2C delivers a range of performance advantages specifically engineered to optimise underfloor heating systems

Rapid Thermal Response: The screed’s thermal diffusivity is up to 80% higher than traditional cement-based screeds, enabling significantly faster heat-up times and improved responsiveness to thermostat adjustments.

Improved Heat Distribution: Exceptional thermal emission performance with value increase of up to 40% ensures more efficient and uniform heat transfer across the floor surface, enhancing overall comfort and maximising system effectiveness.

Optimised System Efficiency: The superior thermal conductivity of THERMIO® MAX FD E2C allows heating systems, including boilers and heat pumps, to operate more efficiently, supporting energy savings of up to 80%, particularly when paired with renewable heat sources.

Optimised Comfort, Performance and Efficiency

THERMIO® MAX FD E2C combines advanced thermal conductivity, rapid drying, and early covering capability within a single screed solution. It is ideally suited to projects requiring high-performance climate control, fast-track delivery, and long-term energy efficiency, making it a preferred choice for specifiers, engineers, and installers alike.
