Stainless steel at the core.
316L stainless steel carries the water. A thin PE outer cover protects the tube. It is a materially different construction from an all-plastic pipe.

A MORE CONSIDERED CHOICE
What’s beneath
makes a difference.
Underfloor heating is a long-term part of your home. We build our systems around Ridgeline’s flexible corrugated stainless steel tube.

UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL
A different kind of tube.
Clear facts. Real installation.
A specification that considers the whole system.
Corrugated. And flexible.
The corrugated form gives the tube its flexibility. See how it handles in the installation comparison below, across three fixing methods.
The full design matters.
Heat output depends on the complete floor, tube spacing, water temperatures and room conditions. We start with your project’s requirements.
INSTALLATION FILM / 03:11SEE THE DIFFERENCE
Less theory.
More real installation.
Watch Ridgeline alongside plastic tube across clip-down, castellated and aluminium spreader-plate installations.
A demonstration of these installations, not a guarantee of installation time on every project.A FLOOR-FIRST APPROACH
Three ways to build it in.
Clip-down & screed
Tube clipped to suitable insulation before screeding. Castellated panels provide an alternative fixing approach.
Insulated overlay
Routed foil-faced boards support the tube as part of a specified floor assembly.
Tiled overlay
A Heatbacker board approach, with the supporting layers and tile finish confirmed for your project.

Your floor finish and available height guide the specification.
INSULATED OVERLAY
ResoTherm XPS-R 300
A routed insulation board approach for an overlay floor. We specify the facing, routing and covering layers for your chosen finish.

TILED OVERLAY
Resonate Heatbacker
A coated, routed board approach for a specified tiled floor. We confirm the substrate, board and tile-system layers together.
Manufacturer’s range image shown. Board thickness, routing and any waterproofing are specified for your project.
Choose Heatbacker for my quote ↗These images show Resonate’s board families. Your quote confirms routing for Ridgeline U17’s 17.2 mm outside diameter; a standard 16 mm board is not an automatic substitute. Board selections are quoted separately from the clip-down core pack.
