Underfloor Heating Floor Construction
At Continental Under Floor Heating we believe in floor constructions that use readily available materials and familiar construction techniques.
This means you don't need specialist contractors to construct your floor and lay the under floor heating pipe work. You also don't need to buy expensive fitting systems.
A lot of the work also happens at first fix stage, which means there is less making good after second fix.
Insulated Under Slab
Insulation Under Slab is becoming more common. By insulating below, the slab becomes part of the thermal mass of the property.
Insulated Over Slab
Insulation Over Slab is one of the most common methods of installing UFH. It can be used for new builds, and renovations with an existing slab where the final floor height can be raised.
Beam and Block
Beam and Block floors are ideal for the installation of UFH. Their greater usage for intermediate floors in Europe (rather than wooden joists) has helped to establish UFH.
Over Joist
Over joist is commonly used in new builds, or in renovation where the floor level can be raised.
Between Joist
Between joists is commonly used in renovations where the floor level cannot be increased.
Single Pour Slab
Single Pour Slab is commonly used in industrial applications. The pipe is tied to loose laid reinforcing mesh, which is then raised and supported prior to the concrete pour.
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).
