Underfloor Heating Systems

The installation descriptions above are summaries only and should not be taken as full installation specifications
With all Underfloor Heating Systems, the pipe loops must be filled and under pressure during any floor laying process.

Solid Floor

These are suitable for a wide range of floor coverings and construction methods. The system is simple and straightforward to install. The most widely used underfloor heating system, performing in ooo's of homes countrywide. Due to the high thermal mass, this system has a relatively slow thermal response, but this is largely overcome by using individual room control and close set-back temperatures.

Installation

•  Edge insulation (client to supply) should be fitted against external walls to avoid cold bridging and to allow for expansion of the screed
•  Floor insulation is laid on flat level floor
•  The Pipe Rail is stapled to the floor insulation using plastic staples, at approx. 1.5m centres. The pipes are clipped into the pipe channel at the centres specified in the design.
•  Once the system of loops has been filled and pressure tested, a conventional sand cement screed (65mm min depth) or proprietary flowable screed can be laid.
•  Once the screed has been fully cured, the system can be commissioned.
•  The designed flow temperature is 45°C with maximum heat output of 100 watts/sq.m
