This Is How It Works: Do-it-yourself Wall Heating with Ready-to-install Drywall Panels

Installation instructions

The FLEXIRO dry construction wall heating is a system kit designed for the simple, quick and clean conversion of existing wall surfaces into panel heating and integration into the existing heating system.

The ready-to-install plasterboard panels with integrated 10 mm heating pipe, plug-in connections and connection to the existing heating system via RTL boxes make the installation of water-bearing wall heating a rewarding project for do-it-yourselfers and installers. The following illustrations show the main installation steps of our drywall system in a test installation of approximately 3 m². Detailed installation instructions are supplied with the kits.

To conclude

Despite the simple design of the wall heating system and the ease of installation, we must point out that, as the manufacturer, we can only guarantee correct delivery from the factory and not installation and connection by third parties. Please also observe the current standards and regulations for heating systems.

FLEXIRO wishes you every success with the realisation!

Yes. Before the plasterboards are fitted, the arrangement of the heating pipes can be clearly seen on the back. A normal cavity box for holding a light switch has a diameter of 68 mm. The heating pipes have a distance to each other of approx. 90 mm. The opening for the switch should be pre-drilled from behind before mounting the drywall elements.

A standard 12 mm thick plasterboard is generally used for FLEXIRO drywall heating. For damp rooms, drywall construction recommends an impregnated gypsum plasterboard GKBI. More detailed information on sealing and possible alternatives can be found at www.homedit.com/bathroom-drywall. For some time now, we have also been offering GKBI wet room plasterboard for wall heating kits in dry construction.

If the ceiling height is not sufficient for a standard installation of the wall heating, the drywall panels included in each kit can be installed horizontally.
