Solutions to the common problems in the installation and performance of underfloor heating systems
- Disadvantages of traditional ‘pipe in screed’ systems.
- Advantages of ‘non-screed’ panel-based systems.
- Load bearing surfaces – differences between the options for dry installed systems.
- Floor loadings and deflection on ‘dry installed’ systems.
- Movement joints and decoupling membranes.
- Heating between existing floor joists.
- Issues with flow & return pipework.
- Uneven substrates & dry aggregate levelling techniques –unique floor levelling methods.
- Effect of floor finishes on heat output.
- Screed systems v. dry systems – response time, running costs.
- Acoustic considerations –Part E, impact sound, airborne sound.
