Pipe Layout Design of Underfloor Heating

In order for underfloor heating to function efficiently, it must primarily have a properly drawn and correctly prepared underfloor heating installation schematic, which translates into reliable installation execution and proper functioning. A suitable underfloor heating schematic prevents various types of irregularities that in many cases can lead to expensive and troublesome repairs or adjustments.

 

 Underfloor Heating Layout plan

A proper underfloor heating schematic should be prepared by a professional installer who is knowledgeable about their work and can anticipate all necessary assumptions for its execution. Specialized programs and accurately taken measurements of the client’s premises are significant aids. A well-prepared underfloor heating plan includes not only technical drawings along with building plans and the layout of individual heating loops and the selection of heating systems but also guidelines for installers and a list of materials needed for installation along with detailed specifications. A well-prepared plan will help us eliminate any potential faults that may occur during operation.

 

Why is the underfloor heating plan layout so important?

Underfloor heating has many advantages but unfortunately also drawbacks. One of the main disadvantages of underfloor heating that we may encounter during its use is the need to remove the top layer of the floor and break the screed in which the heating cables are embedded. Such an extreme situation will occur in case of a heating pipe failure or when a room is inadequately heated.

The first of the mentioned cases may occur when during the installation, the installer leaves a joint between two pipes beneath the floor surface. These joints and connections are the most prone to failures and damages, mainly associated with corrosion. The danger deepens when low-quality materials are used.

The second scenario may occur when during the preparation of the schematic, or during its execution, the required number of heating loops is underestimated, leaving some part of the room without the necessary amount of heat.
