Hi Russell,

 

Can you elaborate on this please. What grade of EPS and staples did you use?  I'd prefer to avoid PIR if I can for future projects. 

Eps 100.  40mm barb staples, cheap rubbish gun from e bay.

You can't staple to EPS, hence EPS at the bottom.  If you are splitting use 50mm PIR minimum.  Otherwise your staples will pull out.

 

you can staple UFH to EPS no problem at all, just have to use more.

You can get longer staples too, 60mm iirc. 
 

Boom. There goes the dynamite ?

Two things I have learned from the photos in this thread:

1. No one has used those plastic strips that multiple loops are fixed to. Is it 100% single staples these days?
2. Foil backed PIR with a large printed grid pattern shows through the thin clear plastic sheet and provides a reference to keep pipe laying square.
