Floor build up for electric underfloor heating.

This diagram shows a typical build up on a concrete subfloor image credit. Underfloor heating is mostly used in ground floor rooms but in reality there is a system to suit any type of floor construction. Electric underfloor heating is usually placed on top of a layer of floor insulation to ensure the heat travels upwards rather than down. The floor is now ready for the underfloor heating pipework installation.

Floor insulation is laid over the whole area and joints are taped to prevent the ingress of screed between the insulation boards. Wet systems are most easily installed where it s possible to take up floors or where new floors are being constructed so is likely to suit new extensions conservatories and new open plan kitchen cum living areas. Electric underfloor heating is best described as a radiant heating system. View our other product ranges.

Stone and ceramic tile finishes are at risk of developing cracks from screeds drying out or as the underfloor heating pipes expand and contract. Floor build up and room type.
