Battened Floor
Battened floor construction is typically used in an existing property when a solid wood floor is required (although this can be laid to other constructions simply). Its key feature is that it uses the dry mix as the thermal mass around the pipes, rather than a structural screed, and the increase in floor level is minimal.

It is also possible to substitute the 50 x 50mm battens for 25 x 25mm battens, using thin insulation (typically 8mm), and then infill with dry mix. This method however is not considered to be adequately insulated but it does allow an even smaller increase in floor height and may be suitable if your floor is already insulated in a lower layer.
