CUT-THERM® milling system

Heating system without additional installation height

CUT-THERM® is the quick modernisation solution system by EMPUR® that cuts a floor heating system into existing floors without causing damage or changing the screed level.
An experienced EMPUR® installation team uses a special floor milling machine to cut grooves for the heating pipes into the existing screed, with virtually no dust (cement or anhydride screed with a minimum thickness of 40 mm). Thus the floor lining can be placed into position immediately after the pipes have been laid into the grooves.
The grooves are cut directly into the existing screed! Thus the construction requirements are reduced to a minimum. No floor core refurbishment is required.
The CUT-THERM® installation teams carry out the following service:
  • Cutting of grooves into the existing screed at a laying distance of 12.5 cm
  • Laying of the floor heating pipes into the grooves
  • Connecting of the floor heating pipes to the manifold
  • Leakage test

The EMPUR® milling system has many uses:

  • in new and old buildings
  • in residential and commercial buildings
  • in single family houses and buildings for multiple families

EMPUR® CUT-THERM® impresses with

  • Enabling the retrofitting of a floor heating system
  • No additional installation height (zero-installation-height)
  • Professional installation by our own staff
  • Minimal construction requirements - NO floor core refurbishment
  • Virtually dust-free cutting of the grooves
  • Quick laying and construction progress
