HYDRONIC IN SLAB HEATING
Are you currently involved in construction or remodeling? Consider incorporating heating solutions like a concrete slab or in-screed floor heating, especially for spaces exceeding 60 square meters, such as kitchens or large living areas! Revel in the comfort of a warm environment emanating from the floor, providing a cozy ambiance without the inconvenience of dust circulation commonly associated with forced air heaters. This is particularly advantageous for individuals with allergies. In the realm of hydronic underfloor heating, you have three installation options: direct embedding in the slab, in the screed, or using diffusion plates, with in-slab heating being the most prevalent. The highly efficient hydronic in-slab installation not only delivers effective heating but also ensures economical running costs, presenting a cost-saving alternative compared to many other heating systems. Experience the benefits of warmth spreading from below, creating a comfortable and allergen-friendly living space.
INSTALLATION IN SLAB
Hydronic in slab heating is the most popular way of installing hydronic floor heating. It is a storage heating system that uses the thermal mass of the slab to store heat. This installation is typically very slow to respond and can take up to two days to heat (depending on the thickness of the slab and the amount of floor insulation used). However it is more economical to run, especially combined with proper insulation. We do recommend extruded polystyrene insulation (XPS) beneath the slab and on exposed slab edges to minimise potential heat loss. This extra step ensures the highest level of energy efficiency and cost savings. The heating pipe are preferably placed on top of the slab�s mesh with the concrete poured over the piping.

WE WILL HELP YOU CHOOSE THE PERFECT INSTALLATION FOR YOUR PROJECT
An efficient radiant heating that does not sacrifice comfort. Never feel a cold zone in your room again whilst removing harmful airborne allergens and bacteria from forced air installations. However if your property cannot be connected to natural gas, heat pumps is an alternative depending on the budget. The Benefits of In-Slab Heating With in slab heating, once the slab is heated through, the heat radiates from the floor upwards into the room. This creates a comfortable and gently heated environment with no draughts, dust or noise. Thermostats Another factor in the efficiency of your floor heating system is a high quality thermostat. This will allow you to heat specific rooms independently and program each room needs accordingly. Since hydronic floor heating is a central heating system, we recommend non-programmable thermostats for your installation. These thermostats can be linked to your home automation systems. A good quality thermostat will give greater control over temperature, zoning and timing, allowing you to make the most our of your floor heating system.
