The development of ground floor constructions: part 7 (underfloor heating)

Abstract

Summarises the evolution of underfloor heating in buildings. Examines the main types of underfloor heating systems in ground floors. Discusses the pros and cons of this method of heating buildings. Shows that with the introduction of flow‐applied screeds and plastic piping, as well as improved installation and control procedures, underfloor heating is making a comeback in a growing number of new‐build schemes in the UK. However, this study indicates that it will be many years before universal confidence in the system is achieved.
