You will benefit from the best performance of any underfloor heating system using a solid floor, with the pipes buried in a screed on top of floor insulation. You can achieve a maximum heat output of 100 W / m2 in concrete floors compared to only 70 W / m2 in timber suspended floors. […]
An explanation of how the manifold & mixing valve work Here at Underfloor Heating Systems Ltd we use the Reliance Water Controls (RWC) pump mixing valve to lower the water temperature from the boiler to the underfloor heating system. But what exactly is a manifold mixing valve and why does every underfloor heating manifold need […]
Provided a high quality system has been chosen and installed correctly, new underfloor heating systems should not have any problems. However, as the first two conditions of this statement are not always strictly adhered to, niggles can occasionally crop up. The best way to combat any potential issues with your underfloor heating system is to […]
Below we have compiled some useful guidelines to help answer some common questions about the installation of water underfloor heating; Flow Rate To calculate the flow rate for each underfloor heating loop, take the loop length and divide by 40. For example, 100 m loop length/40 = 2.5 l/min flow for the underfloor heating loop. […]
