Wet Underfloor Heating Systems Suspended Floors

Wet which is so called because hot water is pumped through pipes in the floor or dry which is the name used for electric systems that run off the mains.

Wet underfloor heating systems suspended floors.

Wet underfloor heating is often recommended for use with suspended timber floors and the tectora joisted batten system is a perfect solution. We have 3 different solutions for installing water underfloor heating pipes in between joisted suspended floors pipe spacing to be 200mm apart or less. This means you need to select a conservatory style kit or a multiple room kit standard room kits are designed with the pipe spacing at 250mm centers which would mean you would not have enough pipe in the kit. Underfloor heating comes in two types.

Wet underfloor heating systems are an effective way of incorporating a heating system into a joisted floor construction for both new build and refurbishment situations. Wet systems are fed off hot water often heated by a boiler but also work well with renewables such as solar panels or heat pumps. Warm water underfloor heating ufh in a suspended timber floor offers all the benefits associated with this form of heating without adding height to the overall floor construction. There are 3 main ways to install a ufh system within a joisted floor.

This system utilises the void between the floor joists as a space for the water underfloor heating pipework and insulation panels. Typically this doesn t in any way affect the floor build up height which could be considered the main advantage. Wet ufh systems can be installed within suspended or joisted floors in a number of different ways. Underfloor heating can be installed on any suspended timber floor with wooden joists whether on ground or upper floor levels.
