Insulative panel
An underfloor insulative panel 300 comprises at least one channel 309 provided in a surface of said panel for accommodating a conducting element 310. The channel comprises a heat transfer material 324 extending from within said channel to the surface of said panel. The thickness of the heat conducting material increases along the side walls from the base of the channel to the surface of the panel, it may be cement-based and preferably extends over the entire surface of the panel. A fibre glass mesh may be embedded in the cement to reinforce the panel. The channel is preferably shaped with two convex curves before being filled with the cement. The channel preferably also has expansion strips 328 to ensure contact. Tiles 322 and adhesive 320 can be placed directly on the panel. Also claimed is a method of manufacturing an underfloor insulative panel a temperature control system, and kit of parts. In use the panel is used in an underfloor heating system to insulate the subfloor, carry the pipes and transfer heat evenly across the floor.
