Project Details

GFRP Mesh for Underfloor Heating Reinforcement

PRODUCT

REBARMAT® GFRP Mesh
– Non-metallic, corrosion-resistant glass-fiber reinforced polymer reinforcement

Dimensions

Mesh spacing: 100 × 100 mm
Bar diameter: Ø4 mm
Sheet format: 1.0 × 3.0 m (or supplied in rolls where required)

Location

Netherlands
Interior residential spaces

Used for

Reinforcement of concrete screed with integrated underfloor heating

Typical applications: living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms

Primary functions:
– Crack control due to thermal expansion and contraction
– Crack control due to shrinkage during curing
– Load distribution in thin concrete layers
– Long-term durability without corrosion risk

Installation

Installed above insulation layer and beneath heated screed

Installation notes:
– Does not damage or react with PEX / PE-RT heating pipes
– Can be cut on site without sparks or special equipment
– Maintains position during concrete pour

Why GFRP instead of steel

No corrosion – ideal for warm, humid screed environments
Non-conductive – does not interfere with heating system efficiency
Lightweight – easy handling on site, faster installation
No thermal bridging – maintains uniform heat distribution
No magnetic interference – compatible with smart home sensors

Slab characteristics

– Screed thickness: 30–70 mm
– Concrete class: according to EN standards for interior floors
– Compatible with cement-based and anhydrite screeds

Reference standards

EN 1264 (water-based underfloor heating systems)
EN 13813 (screed materials)
EAD-based GFRP reinforcement principles

Sustainability

– Long service life
– Reduced maintenance
– Corrosion-free lifecycle
