Who's responsible for what
Warmboard Australia supplies Warmboard panels, the panel layout and pipe loop plans drawn by the Warmboard design team, and product and installation advice. We are not builders, plumbers or engineers.
- Structural design:
Your structural engineer specifies the floor framing, joist sizes and fixing, and approves Warmboard-S where it forms the structural floor. - Building work:
Your licensed builder lays Warmboard-S over joists to the engineer’s details and is responsible for the building work and its compliance. - Plumbing and heat source:
Your licensed plumber designs the plumbing connections, installs the pipe, manifolds and heat source, and commissions the system. - Building approval:
Your building surveyor or certifier confirms the work meets the National Construction Code and local requirements. - Floor coverings:
Your flooring installer lays the floor covering to its maker’s instructions for heated floors.
Our layout plans and advice are based on the information you give us. Please check them against your project’s documents before work starts.
