Underfloor Heating Pipe

Underfloor heating pipe refers to the tubing used in radiant floor heating systems, which circulate warm water beneath the floor surface. These pipes are typically made of materials like PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) or PE-RT (polyethylene of raised temperature).

The system works by distributing heat evenly across the floor, providing a comfortable indoor climate. Water-based systems use these pipes to carry heated water from a boiler or heat pump.

Underfloor heating pipes are integral components of radiant floor heating systems, which provide an efficient and comfortable way to heat indoor spaces. Here’s a detailed overview:

Types of Underfloor Heating Pipes

1. PEX (Cross-Linked Polyethylene):
   • Properties: Flexible, resistant to scale and chlorine, and can handle high temperatures.
   • Benefits: Easy to install, can be snaked through the flooring, and has excellent thermal properties.
2. PE-RT (Polyethylene of Raised Temperature):
   • Properties: Similar to PEX but has enhanced temperature resistance.
   • Benefits: Lightweight, flexible, and resistant to cracking.
