Plated Floor Underfloor Heating Systems
For suspended timber floors, aluminium diffusion plates are fitted between the joists and nailed or stapled in place. With joist centres of 400mm, a plate 388mm wide is used, having two channels along its length, on 200mm centres. Underfloor pipe is run in the plates in a snake pattern, with the pipe turning between the joists at one end and through the joist at the other. |

The aluminium heat diffusion plates should be fitted to standard joist centres on 400mm. Once all the underfloor heating pipe work is fitted, this is again pressuretested with water to ensure any damage resulting in a leak is immediately obvious. |
