Standard room?
Conservatory?
A Standard room would be classed as a living room, kitchen or bathroom within a normally insulated property.
The pipe spacing for most standard rooms is 250mm to pipe centers, this will give you a heat output of around 115w pm2
A conservatory is classed as a high heat loss area and requires more heating pipe per meter than standard rooms.
The pipe spacing for conservatories and areas of high heat loss is 200mm to pipe centers, this will give you a heat output of around 140w pm2
If your project is more than one room but you still require a low cost off the shelf water underfloor heating system then our multiple room kits are perfect for you.
Multiple room kits include all the pumps and correct sized manifolds to install in many rooms.

Water Underfloor Heating
Water Underfloor heating works simply by pumping a controlled flow of warm water from a heat source such as a boiler (or other renewable heating such as an air source or ground source heat pump) ,through a special heating pipe within the floor. We use Pex-Al-Pex pipe which is the best available on the market at present. Because the surface is very large, no radiators are required and very low waters temperatures will provide warmth even on very cold days.
The Underfloor Heating Store will supply you with a complete package of water underfloor heating materials and optional CAD designed layout drawings. Each water underfloor heating kit is supplied with full instructions and electrical layout drawings.

Water Underfloor Heating Installation Checklist
All water underfloor heating system installations should be carried out by a competent installer - please click here for details of our approved installation service. Installations must conform to relevant Building Regulations, Water Bylaws and normal Building Standards. The installer must read instruction manuals very carefully and testing and final operation of the water underfloor heating system rests with the installer. Any gas installation work must be carried out by a Gas Safe register Approved installer.
Pipe Spacing is very important and must be noted during install. The Underfloor Heating Store supply over the normal amount required in both our kits and bespoke systems to allow for mistakes and long runs back to manifold positions etc. We do this because it makes like much easier when installing.
We recommend that expansion edge insulation strips are installed. The system must be pressure tested before any screed is laid.
The area around the installation must be clean and free from building debris before installation takes place.

Water Underfloor Heating Screed
There are many different types of screed that can be installed over a water underfloor heating system. The Underfloor Heating Store also offers a full floor screeding service across the UK.
We recommend that the subfloor does not contain steps or cracks and must be free of building debris. We do not recommend laying pipe directly onto a concrete subfloor - our insulation boards will enable the system to operate at a much greater efficiency or Kingspan or Selotex boards should be installed over concrete before screeding.
A Screed depth of 50 - 70mm is normally suggested however a much lower depth screed can be used over the water underfloor heating pipes if fibres are used to reinforce the screed.
Anhydrite screeds or pumped screeds are fine to be used with heating pipes.
Manifolds
Water underfloor heating - dealing with different floor types
We suggest that the water underfloor heating pipes have no air gaps between them and the final floor surface. Certain types of laminate flooring now come with an insulating backer board and these will not be suitable as they prevent the heat from rising through the floor.
The best type of flooring to have over a water underfloor heating system is Ceramic Tiles or other stone products.
Linoleum or Vinyl can also be used but the maximum thickness is 5mm.
All carpets are fine to use with water underfloor heating (we also offer an electric solution for carpet underfloor heating). The maximum thickness of carpet should not be greater than 12mm. We recommend that a good quality heat transferring underlay is used such as Duralay or similar - this allows the transfer of heating from the subfloor through the carpet.
Solid wood floors are normally fine to use with water underfloor heating but you must check with the supplier first. Some wood floors have a high moisture content which can cause them to warp if they dry out too quickly. We suggest that the screed is allowed to dry out properly before the flooring is installed.
