LowBoard 2 consists of routed lower and upper panels with a combined profile of just 18mm, making it the thinnest overlay system on the market, according to the manufacturer.  

Its predecessor, LowBoard, had a lower panel profile of 15mm but, like other overlays, LowBoard required a ply upper layer which could add at least 6mm to the overall depth of the finished design. 

LowBoard 2 is quick and easy to install and offers improved heat performance, thanks to its new design. It has a 15% higher heat output than its predecessor, and a 40% higher heat output than other unfoiled low build-up systems or alternative overlay solutions, OMNIE says.

Its lower and ‘over’ panels have pipe channels that tightly sandwich and encapsulate the warm water pipe. 

The routing follows OMNIE’s patented multi-directional pipe channel pattern, eliminating the need for separate straight and loop panels, while also ensuring the warm water pipe can be easily laid along any planned layouts. The channels are spaced 150mm apart for optimal heat output and transfer.

The upper ‘over’ panel is 6mm-thick wood fibre (or 12mm plywood for tiled applications), and the proportional pipe channel pattern places the encapsulated warm water pipe within 3mm of the floor surface. 

Bonded to the over panel is a layer of patented aluminium AL HEX foil diffuser with its distinctive hexagonal perforated design. This diffuser technology significantly improves the in-channel, foiled surface area that is in contact with the warm water pipe. The result is greater heat output, better heat transfer, and a more even heat distribution that avoids the risk of damage due to heat ‘striping’.
