Install Process
Removing the Kitchen Island: The installation began with the removal of the kitchen island to clear the workspace and provide access to the floor.
Taking Up the Kitchen engineered wood Floorboards: Next, the homeowner wanted to keep the original flooring, so the existing kitchen floorboards were carefully taken up. Each floorboard was numbered to ensure they could be accurately re-laid over the new Wunda Rapid Response® underfloor heating system.
Laying the Wunda Rapid Response Underfloor Heating Boards: Using the layout plan provided by Wunda Group, the underfloor heating boards were laid out across the kitchen floor. This step was crucial for ensuring optimal heat distribution.
Installing the Underfloor Heating Pipe: The underfloor heating pipe was then installed, following the precise layout to ensure efficient heating performance.
Installing the Underfloor Heating Manifold: The manifold, which controls the flow of water through the heating pipes, was installed next. This component is essential for regulating the system and ensuring even heat distribution.
Re-laying the Flooring: After the heating system was fully installed, the numbered floorboards were re-laid over the underfloor heating boards. This step restored the kitchen’s original appearance while incorporating the new heating system.
Throughout the installation, the homeowner followed the comprehensive factsheet and instructional videos provided by Wunda Group, ensuring that every step was executed correctly and efficiently.
Conclusion: The Wunda Rapid Response® Underfloor Heating system was successfully integrated into the kitchen renovation, providing a modern and efficient heating solution. The careful planning and execution of the installation process ensured a high-quality result, enhancing the comfort and functionality of the kitchen space.
“DIY-able underfloor heating…Like a lot of people I thought underfloor heating meant digging deep underground and burying a system in layers of concrete, making a mess and taking ages but here’s how I fit my own overfloor system” – @AlexDodman
