Underfloor heating works really well with lower running temperatures. When designing underfloor heating systems to work with lower a temperature source, it is important to get the wpm² (watts per meter squared) right. This system included pipe spacings of 150mm with a flow temperature of 40°C, this will average out around 100 wpm².
When building a new extension, most people's first choice for heating is underfloor heating. With so many benefits, it's hard not to consider it the only option. This 40m² extension in Cardiff is designed with open plan in mind. We fitted 200 micron overboards as the floor had already been screeded, we then connected it up to the original heating system. We also installed smart Heatmiser thermostats for the underfloor heating and existing radiators so the entire heating system can be controlled through the owner's phone.
This underfloor heating system is over 15 years old, it was installed in a stunning property in Newport Wales. The customer reported to us that some of the rooms wern't getting warm at all. After investigating we found that the system had never really been serviced and the manifolds had become clogged up. We decided that the best course of action would be to remove the old maniolds, power flush the system and install new manifolds. Now the system is working like it was brand new with even flow rates going to every zone.
We were asked to provide an underfloor heating solution for a 250m² full house renovation in Bristol. We decided to go for a between joist system as the existing floor height couldn't be raised. As the heating was being provided by an air source heat pump we installed Wunda spreader plates with 150mm pipe centres, the underfloor heating pipe was 16mm pert-al-pert. The homeowners are very energy efficient so we also included Heatmiser thermostats in every room to minimize usage whilst maintaining warmth in the desired rooms. The homeowners also provided ample coffee and Kit Kats which was very much appreciated.
Our customer moved into a lovely property in Penarth, South Wales. They wanted to add a new staircase to allow for a loft extension, unfortunately the existing underfloor heating manifold was in the way. We decided that the best thing to do was to move it over to the left. We also included a full underfloor heating service and flush as the system hadn't been used for a while.
This underfloor heating system was installed in a small extension in Cardiff, the rest of the house is still being heated with the existing radiator circuit. We updated the existing thermostat to a modern touchscreen smart thermostat to match the underfloor heating thermostat.
120m² Underfloor heating installation in Cardiff. Castellated panels on top of 100mm floor insulation with pert-al-pert pipe spaced at 150mm being fed from a 10 port stainless steel manifold. All completed in 2 days for 2 very happy customers.
It's always good to catch up with customers, this install was completed in a new build property in North Cardiff. The floor had 100mm of Kingspan insulation with castellated panels securing 16mm pert-al-pert pipe with 150mm spacing. Each room has it's own Heatmiser wireless thermostat offering comfort and efficiency. The system is still working as well as when it was installed. When we service systems we flush out each individual underfloor heating loop, check the controls and clean out the filters. It's important to keep your heating system maintained whether it's underfloor heating or radiators.
We were asked to install underfloor heating in an existing property in Newport. The issue was they could only allow 30mm to install underfloor heating. The solution was 20mm 200 micron overboard. Overboards can be laid directly onto an existing sub floor. The underfloor heating pipe sits in the pre cut channels then the new floor can be installed directly on top of the overboards. The aluminium face spreads the heat evenly allowing a warm floor throughout the property.
