Diffuse, the fully accessible radiant raised floor Diffuse is the only dry radiant raised floor completely accessible, that does not require cement screed. Lightweight, easy and quick to install, Diffuse is immediately walkable and has a very low thermal inertia, which allows a fast response in terms of both heating and cooling. The innovative radiant raised floor Diffuse by Nesite was designed to optimize the highest thermal efficiency, without sacrificing the characteristics of the raised floor: complete accessibility to the underfloor, modularity and maximum flexibility, aesthetic versatility....

The system Removable modular finishing panels which compose the walking surface, consisting of a core made of various materials (inert and inorganic) of very high density. The top covering material can be very different, allowing a wide range of finishings, for the maximum aesthetic freedom. 1 Thermal radiation system in aluminum sheet, which allows the uniform distribution of heat. Patented radiant system that, in combination with the thermal radiant system, allows the uniform distribution of heat and guarantees the perfect thermal insulation of the underfloor. Pre-shaped to allow the placement...

Finishing panels They are the removable panels that determine the aesthetic appearance of the floor. Can be composed of two types of core (inert or calcium sulphate) and have a wide range of coverings. Nesite’s Twin Floor panels, in particular, with sintered material core coupled with ceramic or natural stone and only 26 mm thick, are recommended not only for their excellent mechanical resistance and impermeability, but also for their excellent conductivity, which guarantees the Diffuse system maximum thermal efficiency. Available in a wide range of colours and types of finish. Radiant panels...

Diffuse is the maximum evolution of radiant raised access floors. It consists of special panels made of a sandwich formed by a patented aluminium shaped radiant body, enclosed between a lower polystyrene insulating layer and a top finish panel. The special shaping of the aluminum foil allows the perfect fit of a multilayer pipe, thus enabling a high thermal efficiency. The pipeline supplies the Diffuse system with water at a low temperature (up to 35 ° C in heating and 17 ° C in cooling) coming from a thermal plant. The aluminum foil acts as a diffuser of the thermal power and ensures an homogeneous...

Main advantages Radiant raised floors able to ensure good heating in winter and cooling in summer have very important advantages with respect to ventilation systems carrying out the same functions. Especially in the service sector, nowadays it is essential having a versatile accessible system, able to air condition large rooms evenly, giving them maximum flexibility for the distribution of space and easy regulation. In addition, the response speed of the system, the high thermal efficiency and the resulting reduced energy consumption are also very important elements. The endless choice of finishes...

Heating comfort With a radiant floor heating system operating at 26 °/27 °C you can obtain a homogeneous heat diffusion which leads the entire area at temperatures close to 22 °C in a very short time. The heat is evenly distributed over the entire surface of the floor and is not concentrated in certain points. The result: high and healthy comfort level. With Diffuse, people get the maximum comfort thanks to the optimal distribution of temperature. The temperature in the room, indeed, is the closest possible to the ideal curve for the best comfort of human bodies. With Diffuse, people can move...

Cooling comfort Diffuse ensures a high degree of comfort also in the cooling phase. In this case the thermal plant will be composed of a heat pump unit capable of delivering both warm and cold water; in case of cooling the average water temperature will be of 17 ° C. When used in cooling, it is advisable to use the radiant floor system in combination with a dehumidifying and air exchange system. Advantages for the respiratory system When air is less warm, it is also less dry, and that goes all for the benefit of the respiratory system. In fact, the excessive heating of the air (typical of ventilation...

Energy saving Thanks to the time response and the low temperature of supply, it is possible to save up to 15% energy more than a traditional floor on screed. Moreover, thanks to the possibility of maintaining the air temperature at about 2 ° C lower than a ventilation system, with equal comfort, in an area varying in height from 3 to 5 meters, it is possible to reach an energy saving from 20 to 40%. Speed of response and optimal functioning A floor heating with cement screed takes several hours before being able to reach the desired temperature in the room. With the dry system it is possible...

Operation with lower flow temperature In dry systems, the flow temperature is approx. 5 ° C lower than in screed systems. This leads to significant energy saving. In case of use with a heat pump, for each lower degree there is an increase of about 2.5% of the COP. In this situation you can get an increase of 12% of the COP, that is, for example, a passage from COP 4 to COP 4.48 with the same heat pump. Fast installation Thanks to the constructive principle of dry systems, it is not necessary to wait for the drying time of the screed. It is possible to install the floor system, complete with the...

Distribute the pedestals for module 60x60 cm approximately and connect them by snapstringers on lower heads. Level the pedestals with theodolite laser, or bubble level and levelling rod, and apply the gaskets on stringers. Lay the “active” (with locations for piping) radiant panels aligned on the middle of the pedestal row. Complete the laying of “active” panels on all the pedestal rows. Install the pipes in the cavities of the “active” panels and connect them with the manifolds. Lay the “neutral” radiant panels to close the underfloor cavity and to complete the radiant layer.
