Wet Underfloor Heating

The feeling of well being is something we should not take for granted. Feeling warm and comfortable in our homes helps to maintain the felling of well being and promotes good health. There are numerous ways to experience warmth but only a few that guarantee real comfort. If you know what you want you can buy online at our www.underfloorheating1.co.uk e-commerce website which also offers comprehensive information about wet underfloor heating.

With an underfloor heating system the heat surrounds you. The source, hidden away under the floor, is invisible and ideal for modern living. Warm water is pumped through a continuous loop of plastic pipe (no joints under the floor eliminate the potential for connections leaking) placed under either a solid or timber floor. Your living areas are free from radiators giving a clean interior design and maximum usable wall space. Furniture can be positioned without the constraint of radiators. The room is an even comfortable temperature with no cold spots. Ceramic and hard finish floors feel warm and welcoming.

Individual room temperature control can be provided with hard wired or wireless programmable room thermostats. Now you can experience the ultimate in comfort with an under floor heating installation that really will make a difference to your home and your heating bills!

Build design considerations & calculations for Wet Underfloor Heating

The design and calculations for a wet underfloor heating system in a solid floor should be conducted in accordance with BS EN 1264 and the details given on these pages are based upon this standard. The design of a underfloor heating system in a new build is a straightforward process consisting of 5 main steps:

  • Calculate heat losses and amount of heat required for each room or zone
  • Determine water flow temperature and pipe spacing
  • Determine manifold location
  • Calculate number of circuits required
  • Plan pipe layout

Calculating the capacity of a Wet Underfloor Heating system

Calculating the output of a wet underfloor heating system correctly involves:

  • Setting the temperature of the water flowing through the pipes
  • Choosing the optimal pipe spacing in each zone
  • Determining the number of circuits necessary to heat the rooms

It is necessary to obtain the following information about each of the zones to be heated:

  • Maximum hourly losses or thermal load
  • Heat output for underfloor heating
  • Floor Finishes and Coverings
  • Floor surface temperatures when fitting Underfloor heating
  • Peripheral areas
  • Type of flooring screeds or timber to be laid and its thickness
  • Controls
  • Heat sources
  • Manifold Position & Circuit Lengths
