Under
Floor Heating
The benefits of Underfloor
central heating is becoming widely known to the self build market, builders
and keen DIY enthusiasts alike.
Underfloor
central heating (UFCH) gives "invisible" warmth - ideal for
modern living, giving clean interior design and maximum usable wall
space. UFCH is safer and cleaner than radiator systems as there are
no hot surfaces, and dust and air movement are minimised. UFCH also
has the benefit of low maintenance with no requirement to paint radiators.
Where radiator central heating systems work primarily by creating convection
currents of hot air supplemented by some radiated heat, underfloor central
heating systems work primarily by heat radiation supplemented by some
convection. As the floor radiates heat uniformly over its surface there
is uniform heat distribution - no hot or cold spots - consistent comfort.
And best of all, a warm floor - even the best radiator systems can leave
you with cold feet.
We offer three configurations of underfloor central heating suitable
for new build, retrofit, or any type of construction.
All are compatible with standard central heating boilers and are especially
suitable for use with condensing boilers which give maximum efficiency
at low output levels.

Ideal
Comfort Conditions
Research has shown that ideal comfort levels are achieved when feet
are a few degrees warmer than the head, exactly what underfloor heating
produces, even heat distribution across the entire floor ensures no
cold spots in rooms.

Maintenance
and Running Costs
Maintenance
of underfloor systems is minimal as the heat element will not corrode
or scale. The only metal components being DZR brassware and stainless
steel.
As underfloor systems operate with a flow temperaure of around 50 degrees
centigrade, the use of condensing boilers can deliver efficiencies of
upto 98%.
The three basic methods of installing under floor heating are:
|
|
|
Solid
Floor System Design
UFCH can be permanently built into solid concrete or screeded floors.
Insulation is built into the floor as required by Building Regulations
directly beneath the unique Polyplumb screeded floor panel. The
heating pipe is simply "walked in" and is permanently
covered by screed. Floating wooden or stone / tiles or standard
carpet / vinyl floor covering may be used. |
|
|
Suspended
Floor System Design
UFCH can be installed simply between the joists of a suspended floor,
either from above or from below. Alternatively UFCH pipes can be
laid between battens above the joists. Standard tongue and groove
floor board is laid above the system and any floor covering may
be used. |
|
|
Floating
Floor System Design
UFCH may be installed in floating floors above an existing solid
or timber floor. Pipe is simply "pressed in" to the preformed
heat emitter plate which sits in grooves within the floating floor
insulation panel. Standard tongue and groove floor board is laid
above the system and any floor covering may be used. |
