Abstract

A plate on which pipes of a floor heating system can be installed includes an abrasion-proof molded cover foil of relatively tough synthetic material and an insulation sheet of synthetic foam material, arranged below the cover foil, whereby the cover foil contains holding devices, molded in one piece as clamping fingers projecting from the foil material, for securing the pipes of the heating system. The insulation sheet is provided with protruding plugs which can be inserted into the hollow clamping devices of the cover foil, whereby the cover foil and insulation sheet are held together at least temporarily. There is also provided ribs for stiffening backs of the clamping fingers.
