How does CircoFloor work?
From an adjustable structure to a floor that suits your room.
-
Set the height
Lay the structure and adjust it level at the required height.
-
Add insulating fill
Fill the structure with EPS or cork to suit your chosen build-up.
-
Fit boards and finish
Secure suitable boards and install your floor finish according to the instructions.
Which build-up suits your floor finish?
Your floor finish helps determine which boards you need. Start with the finished floor you have in mind.
Gypsum fibre boards
For tiles and other finishes in suitable combinations. Match the board build-up to the finish and loads.

Dry underfloor heating
Combine CircoFloor with a suitable dry heating system, such as Uniwarm or Fermacell Therm25.
View underfloor heating and coolingThe right build-up depends on the base, available height, loads and floor finish.
- No screed drying time
- Precisely height adjustable
- Demountable and reusable

Technical details and performance
Get started with CircoFloor
What determines my floor’s performance?
The base, height, fill, supports, boards and finish together determine performance. Always compare complete floor build-ups.
- Insulation: the Rd value varies with the fill and height. Use the insulation tables for your chosen build-up.
- Acoustics: specific tested build-ups achieved 26–30 dB ΔLw. This measures impact sound improvement on a concrete reference floor, not a guaranteed result in every room.
- Load capacity: assess point loads, distributed loads and self-weight for the complete floor. A capacity figure for the structure alone is not enough.
- Environmental impact: the comparison of up to 4.9× concerns material impact against the specified PUR reference. It does not apply to every complete floor. Disassembly and reuse can reduce material waste.
- Finishes: laminate, click vinyl, engineered wood, carpet, cork, tiles and natural stone are possible in suitable build-ups. Follow the requirements for the selected boards and flooring.

Frequently asked questions about CircoFloor
How much build-up height do I need?
The system height is 8.8–21.8 cm: 8.8–15.8 cm with short feet and 14.7–21.8 cm with long feet. Add the thickness of the boards and floor finish. Also allow for services and variations in the base level.
System heights and specificationsCan CircoFloor be used with underfloor heating?
Yes, with a suitable dry underfloor heating system, such as the documented Uniwarm or Fermacell Therm25 build-ups. Match the heating, boards and finish. Floor cooling also requires a suitable installation and controls.
View underfloor heating and coolingHow soon can I continue working?
There is no wet screed to dry. Once the structure, fill and boards are correctly installed, continue according to the chosen finish’s instructions. Total time depends on area, preparation and build-up. Adhesives, levelling compounds or finishes may still need time to dry or cure.
Read the full installation guideHow much will my floor cost?
The price depends on area, system height, fill, boards, finish and delivery. Compare equivalent complete build-ups; there is no fixed saving per m² for every project. Use the calculator to estimate materials and request a price including delivery.

From lofts and renovations to terraces and temporary spaces: find all applications below, grouped by use. Choose a build-up suited to the base, loads, moisture conditions and finish.
The documentation and tests cover specific interior floor build-ups. For other uses, we can help assess whether CircoFloor suits your project.
Homes and interior floors
Insulated interior floors
A dry build-up as an alternative to sprayed PUR, EPS screed and sand-cement screed. Choose the fill and boards for the required performance.
Converting lofts into usable rooms
Build a light floor and adjust its height. First check the existing floor’s capacity and the requirements for the new use.
Floors on timber or steel structures
A light build-up with options for acoustic decoupling. Match the boards and supports to the supporting structure.
Floors on CLT or timber frame structures
Combine a dry floor with suitable acoustic decoupling. Sound performance depends on the complete build-up.
Floors on timber joists
A height-adjustable floor without wet screed. Have the joists, deflection and support assessed.
Bathrooms and laundry rooms
With boards suited to the room and correctly designed waterproofing, including joints, connections and penetrations.
Comfort and service space
Acoustic intermediate floors
For build-ups addressing impact and airborne sound. Measured ΔLw values concern impact sound in specific tested build-ups; they are not a general guarantee for every intermediate floor.
Acoustics and tested build-upsDry underfloor heating with heat spreader plates
A heated floor without wet screed. Choose a suitable dry heating system and match the boards and finish to it.
View underfloor heating and coolingRaised office service floors
To create space below the floor for pipes, ventilation ducts and cables. Plan access zones and match the build-up to office loads.
Concealing pipes, ventilation and cables
Bridge height differences and services with suitable support. Provide access wherever inspection or maintenance is needed.
Renovation and reuse
Circular renovation floors
Use removable components that can be reused later. Consider disassembly when choosing boards and finishes too.
Renovations with large height differences
Adjust the system height between 8.8 and 21.8 cm. Add boards and floor finish; the preparation needed depends on the existing floor.
Listed buildings and heritage
A demountable floor may suit a reversible renovation. Match fixings and connections to the building and heritage requirements.
Rented properties
A floor that can be moved during relocation or refurbishment is possible if the boards, finish and fixings are also suitable for reuse.
Fast renovations
No wet screed drying time. After correct installation, continue according to the instructions for boards, adhesives and finishes.
Temporary and modular spaces
Events and temporary buildings
A floor that can be installed and dismantled again. Have the required loads, safety and use conditions established beforehand.
Modular units, site cabins and office units
An adaptable build-up with reusable components, matched to the unit’s construction and use.
Pop-up shops and showrooms
A reusable floor for a temporary fit-out. Choose a finish and load capacity suited to visitors and furnishings.
Light workshops and hobby rooms
With a suitable wear-resistant surface. Check point loads and vibrations from benches or equipment for the selected build-up.
Terraces and roof terraces
Terraces with 60 × 60 cm Staenis click tiles
A demountable terrace using suitable click tiles. Coordinate the base, drainage and edge finish.
CircoFloor for your terrace or roof terrace
View the click tiles (Dutch webshop)Roof terraces on EPDM or PVC
With removable tiles and access for maintenance or inspection. Check roof loads, protection of the waterproofing and drainage.

Special applications on request
These applications require a separate technical assessment. The performance of a tested interior floor does not automatically apply.
Intermediate floors with fire resistance requirements
For example, with aerated concrete fill and Fermacell boards. The required fire resistance must be demonstrated for the complete construction.
Damp basement floors
Choosing a vapour-open or water-resistant build-up requires assessment of moisture, condensation and waterproofing. CircoFloor alone does not solve a damp problem.
Green roofs
A potential lightweight, removable substructure on flat roofs. Assess saturated weight, drainage and roof protection with the relevant construction partners.
Driveways with drainage and rainwater storage
A project-specific use requiring prior assessment, particularly of vehicle and point loads, the base and drainage.
Thawing platforms for cold stores
A Euro-pallet-sized concept with CircoFloor layers between pallet layers, without adjusting screws and with fixing screws. The intended use, such as thawing or melting butter, requires separate validation of function, loads and hygiene.
