What is joisted underfloor heating?

Joisted underfloor heating consists of lifting your floor boards, notching the joists beneath them, and running warm water pipe through either Aluminium Spreader Plates. You can then run the floor heating at temperatures of 50 – 55°C and enjoy the unparalleled comfort with out needing to add any build up height to your project.

Joist Underfloor Heating Considerations

There are some things you might consider before committing to a joisted underfloor heating system.

Installation. If your project is a retrofit or a new build, you may have issues with accessibility.

Heat Up Time & Efficiency. The efficiency of your system will depend on the insulative resistance of the material covering your joists (chipboard, floorboards) as well as the floor finish (carpet, wood, etc). Which can cause longer heat up times and in some cases it is necessary to use higher running temperatures. This causes lower efficiency and controllability.

For easy access and maximum control & efficiency, it may be preferable to use our:
