Installation

Installing Underfloor heating is simple from a customers point of view. Just make sure that there is:

Adequete floor insulation.
- On the ground floor we recomend a minimum 50mm of polyurethene Floor Insulation or equivalent. ( Kingspan TF70 is an example)
Space for pipe & finished floor.
- It is usual to have 75mm of finished/power-floated floor above the insulation.
The floor build-ups we recomend are simple, economical and effective.

The Ground Floor

A 100mm layer of Aerobord or 50mm Polyuretane(TF70) is laid over the radon barrier and sub-floor & covered with a vapour barrier.
Pipe is laid without a joining on this.
75mm of power floated floor covers the pipe.
Any floor covering can be fixed( floated/glued) to the concrete.
