    Wet under floor heating up cycle

    We've also stated that "As the system is used for first time, the mixing valve must be set to minimum setting to let the moisture in the screed to dry out. The temperature should be increased by 2 degrees every day until the mixing valve is set at 45°C (about 5 days)." If this procedure is...

    Newbie Looking For Advice on Expansion Gaps With UFH System

    With our Gypsum the boards would be fixed down to the timber however leaving a expansion would be fine to do if they're was any concerns by installer. Our boards don't have decoupling properties so we recommend if an installer is going to use one then put a skin of Flexible SLC over our panels...

    Newbie Looking For Advice on Expansion Gaps With UFH System

    Unfortunately I can't comment on the EPS Panels with Tiles on top as it's not a solution we recommend to use as the panels themselves are not solid, we recommend them to only be used with a Wood or Laminate floor finish. However with our Gypsum boards which is a solid fibre board, we recommend...

    Wet UFH to screed or not to screed ?

    Everything really depends on what you want out of your system, the most efficient wet ufh system you can install would be the standard inscreed system on top of a insulation. However for this system you need to have a minimum of 100mm, 50mm insulation and 50mm liquid screed. If you don't want...

    EPS boards just aren't up to the job when it comes to tiles. If your customer is looking for something that has minimum floor build up and keeps the levels low then your only option is a gypsum panel. Soild panel which is mechanically fixed to the sub floor

    Thermostat explanation required - Please help me

    You can have either wired or wireless thermostats, both would need to be connected to the Central Wiring Center above the manifold. The wiring center is pretty much the brains of the UFH, this is where all wires terminate. Thermostats can either be Air sensor or Floor sensor, or both, we...

    Just moved in. Properties only form of heating is electric underfloor!! COST?

    Just from having a read through the thread I noticed you mentioned you've got chipboard down but the heating is installed within concrete? If this is the case then this is where the heat is being trapped which is why your rooms aren't feeling warm. Electric UFH shouldn't have anything placed...

    In your opinion, best system for 45 SQM.

    Id say a 160w/m2 with Insulation board would be perfectly suitable for this project, I'd zone it up as the 3 individual zones as well just so they've got a little more control over each area.

    Electric UFH in a shower tray?

    You can put Electric UFH on top of the shower tray however you need to leave a gap to the drain to stop you heating any waste water that could settle causing a smell. The same rules apply when covering the cable, it requires a 6-8mm compound over the top.

    Topps tile ufh and hardiebacker

    If they're having a decoupling membrane in the system then I'd recommend to go with a decoupling heating option like our HeatBase, that way you could have a thicker backerboard giving a better subfloor to work with. 12mm Backerboard HeatBase Decoupling Tile

    Underfloor heating probe

    The thermostat has the sensor built in the bottom of the thermostat so therefore a bathroom is a no go as it's also only rated IP31 which isn't suitable for moisture.

    Underfloor heating probe

    Cheers @Paul C. If a Floor Sensor fails unfortunately you have to replace it or use a specialist thermostat. The floor temperature has to be registered, if not you run the risk of over heating the floor and burning out the cable as there is nothing to monitor the cable. The air sensor isn't...

    Suspended Timber Solution

    It's information we've been provided. However we do advise customers to check with their structural engineer that it can handle the weight if they choose this option.

    Suspended Timber Solution

    Are you ripping up your floor boards? If you are then it gives you two options, either a Spreader plate or a screed infill section. A spreader plate is a aluminium plate which is fixed on top of the joists with 2 x 16mm pipe channels grooved into it. These have insulation placed below and a...

    Sensor settings - air only

    One degree a day until you've reached 25 degrees and then you can set it at the temperature you desire. Great to hear another happy customer! Look forward to the next phone call

    Sensor settings - air only

    Its to stop the floor from over heating itself, the temperature difference between the floor and air could vary by up to 5 degrees sometimes, depending on where the thermostat is placed. Our Electric UFH in our office and tea room are both ran off the floor sensors only and kept under 22 degrees.

    Sensor settings - air only

    There isn't really a maximum, however anything above 30 is going to be uncomfortable on your feet when walking on the floor. UFH is best ran at low temperatures constantly.

    Sensor settings - air only

    The air sensor should only be used with a water system when they have a tiled floor finish as they're aren't going to exceed the maximum temperature a tile can take. However if it's a wood or laminate then it can only have a max floor temperature of 27 degrees which is where the floor sensor...

    Electric UFH and tanking

    As above, we recommend all our customers to lay the UFH then SLC then tank. Make sure the heat element is kept away from the drain as well, if not it'll heat up the waste water and cause a funny smell.

    Does anybody know what this wet system is?

    Looks like a screed infill system where insulation is placed beneath the joists and then pipes placed onto that and then screeded level with the joists. But it seems they've skipped the insulation part and just laid it onto wood. Looks like they've already had a cut in the pipe or something from...
