Suspended floors Heating Systems

Suspended floors require the space between the joists to be filled with insulation once the underfloor heating has been installed. This prevents downward heat loss either into an externally ventilated void or to the room below.

You fix a heat transfer clip onto the top edge of the joist, providing a cradle for the underfloor heating pipe work to fit into. At this stage, the clip is separate from the aluminium conducting plate which can be positioned freely to match your underfloor heating layout. When the pipe work has been installed and the insulation fitted, and you are ready for the floor deck to go down, the aluminium conducting plates need to be laid across the top of the joists. These aluminium sheets connect all the heat transfer clips, drawing the heat away from the pipe work, dispersing it across the floor to provide an even floor temperature.

Once the pipe work is installed to our specification, then the system should be filled with water and pressure tested.
