I'm going to install flooring and since my dear craftsmen who installed the underfloor heating have cut away the battens (to make their work easier), there are missing battens between the last two beams towards the wall. Since the bends for the underfloor heating pipes are there, I can't place new battens but need something narrower and thought of using aluminum profiles (type HEA) or something similar.
Since the battens measure 22mm, my profiles also need to be 22mm high.
Does anyone know where I can get these? (Preferably in the Stockholm area)

I've bought such items at the metal warehouse in Spånga. Apparently, it's now called Tibnor (www.tibnor.se). It's located on Finspångsgatan in the Lunda industrial area. You can find their address and phone number on their website (but it's buried deep), one of the worst websites I've encountered in recent years. Make sure to bring the exact measurements so they can cut it for you. I believe there's a risk you might have to buy a whole length (about 6 meters). Otherwise, Bauhaus also has quite a lot of aluminum profiles, but I imagine that 6 meters in Lunda costs about the same as one meter at Bauhaus.
Cutting away the spacing when installing underfloor heating is normal. However, you should place a crosswise spacer board at the wall and let the underfloor heating turn before it.
