Davie P 253 Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Does underfloor heating not need to be laid in a screed of some sort? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
engineer21 5 Posted October 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 It can be but now there are lots of variations on the market, lower temp usally in screed. But now it can be laid in wooden joist floor construction, just wondering what folks here may have used Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nigel Bridgman-Elliot 14 Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 I've heard reports from folk who have it laid in solid flooring, eg. poured, that after about 20 years, it starts to leak, and is expensive to fix then.I'd be interested to hear about solutions that are easier to maintain, when, not if something goes wrong in the future with the installation.I would imagine having a large quality of thermal mass someplace would be benefical.

engineer21 5 Posted October 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Lots of retrofit solutions now don't involve wet laying, therefore simple to repair if it goes wrong Yes plan on insulating below the pipes to keep heat heading upwards, aluminium heat plates conduct the heat evenly along floor from pipes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
