Electric Underfloor Heating On Suspended Timber Floors Construction

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.

Electric underfloor heating on suspended timber floors construction. By utilising the space in the joist void with effective insulation underfloor heating maximises heat output and allows an even distribution of heat across the entire floor space. Profloor end return panels are used with the profloor pre grooved panels to allow the underfloor heating pipes to run back into room offering an easy installation of water circulation heating systems in timber suspended floor structures with no greater spacings of 400mm centres. The process for installing underfloor heating and insulation on a solid concrete floor can be found here. Its foil wrapped heating wires offer unparralled thermal conductivity into the wooden flooring allowing rapid heat up times and efficient and consistent heat distribution.

The foil heater system is an electric heating mat that offers quick installation beneath wood flooring and other floating floor types. Underfloor heating can be fitted in both concrete and timber suspended floors but for other floor constructions for example we also offer a floating floor solution please contact us. View foil heater system. Floor construction before choosing underfloor heating many factors need to be considered.

Wet underfloor heating is often recommended for use with suspended timber floors and the tectora joisted batten system is a perfect solution. Underfloor heating can be installed on any suspended timber floor with wooden joists whether on ground or upper floor levels. Process of installing underfloor heating on a suspended timber floor in this section we look the installation process for a wet underfloor heating system although in practice you could also install an electric dry system. This system utilises the void between the floor joists as a space for the water underfloor heating pipework and insulation panels.

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.
