Installation: FAQs


How should underfloor heating be installed?

Underfloor heating systems should be installed in a manner considered to be acceptable to building control and the local water undertaker.

If domestic supplies are to be installed in close proximity to underfloor heating, they should:

  • Be installed as a single run of pipework without any inaccessible joints below the underfloor heating insulation.

  • To prevent heat transfer or loss any supply pipework should be laid with a suitable gap maintained between the hot and cold systems and both wrapped in insulation.
