INTRODUCTION 1

1 INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this document is to give guidance to inspectors and other

personnel engaged on the assessment or quality control of underfloor
heating installations, and to allow them to assess installations in a
repeatable and consistent manner.

The document is arranged in a manner that provides all the necessary

information in a logical and user-friendly way. The document includes
enough detail and data for the user to adequately assess the quality of the
installation, and consists of the following sections:

Basic principles
Here the essential principles of underfloor heating are addressed to
promote an understanding of the technology.

System design
The key points associated with an underfloor heating system are detailed
here, including system components and arrangements. The purpose of
this section is to allow the inspection personnel to quickly identify all of
the various elements that constitute a complete underfloor heating
system.

Installation
Relevant site and good practice issues will be dealt with here to help
ensure that any important points are thought of before they become a
problem on site.

It will also provide useful information for other members of the

professional team in terms of interfacing with their particular disciplines.

A series of checklists is included covering the various design and

inspection phases. If followed by the inspection staff, consistent
assessment should be achievable.

 2 BASIC PRINCIPLES

2 BASIC PRINCIPLES
2.1 UNDERFLOOR With conventional radiators, the heat output is a product of the amount
HEATING -
SYSTEM
of surface area of the emitter or radiator and the average temperature of
DESCRIPTION the water flowing through it. Therefore, for a given radiator size, the
output can be varied by changing the mean water temperature.
This is the principle applied to underfloor heating where the size of the
emitter, in this case the floor, is so large that the mean water temperature
can be reduced to below that commonly used in radiators and still
provide the required heat output.

The modern underfloor heating system works by passing low

temperature hot water through pipework embedded in, or attached to,
the floor. Heat is then radiated from the floor to warm the objects in the
space. There is also a small component of heating by convection from
the floor which warms the air within the room.

The rate of heat output from the system is determined by:

• mean water temperature
• spacing and diameter of pipework
• floor finish
• floor construction.

The mean water temperature and pipework spacing can be varied to

provide the required space temperature overcoming issues such as
excessive heat loss or unfavourable floor finish, and would have been
carefully considered by the system designer.

System components
The major components of an underfloor heating system are:

• The heat source

• Circulating pump
• Heat distribution to the manifold
• Flow and return manifolds
• Underfloor heating circuit pipework
• Insulation

The heat source

Traditionally this has been a boiler, producing the low temperature hot
water for the system. Modern high efficiency condensing boilers are
ideal for underfloor heating as the low water temperatures allow the
boiler to work in condensing mode for most of the time, thus increasing
the efficiency even further. However, careful thought must be given
when making boiler selections for underfloor heating systems, as not all
units are compatible. Some boilers cannot cope over a long period due
to internal corrosion by low return water temperatures, and small
temperature differences between the flow and return can cause control
problems and excessive cycling.

BASIC PRINCIPLES 2

More recently, however, other sources have become available which are
ideally suited to providing the low-grade energy required, such as
ground-source heat pumps.

Circulating pump
The circulating pump circulates the hot water produced by the boiler, or
other heat source, around the system and is similar to those used in most
types of heating system.

Heat distribution to the manifold

The heated water from the heat source is conveyed to the individual
manifolds via copper, steel or plastic pipework. This element is common
to most heating systems, with only the medium and the materials
differing.

Flow and return manifolds

These manifolds, or headers, take the low temperature hot water from
the heat distribution system and distribute it around the underfloor
circuits. These are generally manufactured from de-zincified or
nickel-plated brass.

From the manifolds, individual pipework coils are run and laid in the
floor to provide the heating to the space, each coil constituting a separate
controllable circuit. For larger rooms or spaces, more than one circuit
may be required.

The length of the manifold will depend on the number of circuits being
provided, and manifolds can serve anywhere from two to twelve circuits.
In larger commercial applications, several flow and return manifolds will
be needed. Also, depending on the layout of a building, it may be
advantageous to have more than one pair of manifolds, even though
there may only be a relatively small number of circuits.

Underfloor heating circuit pipework

This is the pipework used to form the coils in the floor, which carry the
low temperature hot water to heat the floor, and should meet the
performance requirements of BS 7821[1] and DIN 4726[2] as appropriate.

The major pipework types commonly used in modern underfloor

heating systems are:
• cross-linked high density polyethylene (PE-X)
• polybutylene (PB)
• metal/plastic multi-layer composite pipe.

Another material which has been used is santoprene, a rubber-based

material produced in the form of three, small-diameter tubes joined
together. However, this pipe has no oxygen barrier and does not satisfy
the performance requirements of the standards referred to above.

UNDERFLOOR HEATING SYSTEMS - AN ASSESSMENT STANDARD 3

© BSRIA AG 13/2001
 2 BASIC PRINCIPLES

Each pipe loop or circuit should be laid in a single length, with no

joints – particularly in the floor. Balancing of all the circuits on a
particular manifold can be made more simple by having all the circuits
the same length. Fine-tuning of the flow rates in each is then done on
the circuit balancing device on the manifold.

Insulation
This is generally applied beneath the circuit pipework to prevent
downward heat loss, thus maximising the heat output into the room.
It is also very important to provide edge insulation around the perimeter
of the area where underfloor heating is installed. This will avoid the
transference of heat into the vertical structure and away from the area to
be heated. It also allows for an amount of expansion of the slab.

Materials and recommended thicknesses vary between manufacturers and

systems, but typically 30-50 mm of a rigid polyurethane, polystyrene or
polyisocyanurate insulation is used. The mechanical properties of
insulation are also important for reasons other than thermal performance.
It must be appropriate for the flooring system, and use of the building.
The advice of the architect or structural engineer should have been
sought during the design stage.

Expanded polystyrene requires a vapour barrier over it as its structure is

porous and can absorb moisture from the screed laid onto it. This
vapour barrier must be completely sealed to prevent screed penetrating
any joists and getting under the insulation.

The method of fixing the pipework in place must be selected so as not to

destroy the integrity of the vapour barrier.

SYSTEM DESIGN 3

3 SYSTEM DESIGN

The detailed design of the underfloor heating system will generally be

carried out by the specialist supplier/installer, often in conjunction with a
specification from the design team engineers.

As part of their design, the specialist/installer should provide detailed

installation drawings for their staff on site. These drawings will show the
individual pipework circuits as well as the location of manifolds and
other equipment. Positions of thermostats should also normally be
indicated.

The inspection staff should satisfy themselves that the relevant approved
drawings have been prepared and checked by the appropriate person
before any installation work on the underfloor heating systems
commences on site. Guidance on the design information to be checked
prior to starting the installation is included in the appropriate checklist at
the back of this document.

The standards that apply to the design (and soon the installation) of
underfloor heating installations include:
• BS EN 1264-1: 1998 Floor heating - Systems and components Part 1.
Definitions and symbols 3
[ ]

• BS EN 1264-2: 1998 Floor heating - Systems and components Part 2.

Determination of the thermal output[4]
• BS EN 1264-3: 1998 Floor heating - Systems and components Part 3.
Dimensioning 5
[ ]

• DIN 4725, Part 4: 1992 Hot water floor heating systems; design and
construction (plus Amendment A1, December 1994)[6]
• DIN 4725: 2001 - Floor heating, systems and components - determination
of thermal output, pipe coverings larger than 0·065 m 7 .
[ ]

The following standard deals with installation:

• BS EN 1264-4: 2001. Floor heating - Systems and components Part 4.
Installation 8 .
[ ]

Wherever possible the inspection staff should try to ascertain if the design
has been carried out in accordance with these standards, and which other
design information has been used.

3.1 TYPICAL Although underfloor heating may be installed in almost any kind of
ARRANGEMENTS
construction, the three most common types of floor construction found
are:

• solid ground floor

• floating floor
• timber/intermediate floor.

UNDERFLOOR HEATING SYSTEMS - AN ASSESSMENT STANDARD 5

© BSRIA AG 13/2001
 3 SYSTEM DESIGN

Solid ground floor

Although there are a number of variations employed by different
manufacturers to suit their particular materials and systems in the
installation of underfloor heating, the basic philosophy is the same for all
solid floor types.

Figure 1: Typical screeded floor construction.

A layer of insulation is laid on top of the concrete slab to provide the

degree of insulation required for the adequate performance of the heating
system, by reducing downward heat losses, but also to satisfy any
demands of the Building Regulations. It also acts as a levelling layer to
which the pipework is fixed. Alternatively, the structural slab, with the
underfloor heating pipework cast within it, can be laid directly onto
insulation. This does away with the need for a screed topping, subject to
warm-up time considerations.

The underfloor heating pipework is then laid onto the top of the
insulation and fixed by a number of methods including fixing rails or
individual clips. A third method is to fix the pipe to a steel mesh which
is embedded within the screed. All these methods can be used
individually, or in any combination to suit a particular application as
required.

A layer of screed is then laid on top of the pipework to form the heat
transfer medium, and to level and strengthen the floor ready for the final
floor finish of carpet, tiles or stone. With a screeded floor system it is
essential that the screed is allowed time to dry out thoroughly and that
such time is allowed in the construction programme. Failure of screed
due to insufficient moisture control can result in very expensive and
disruptive remedial works.

With this type of flooring, edge insulation is required to avoid cold

bridging with the structure, permitting heat to be drawn away from the
floor and reducing the efficiency of the system.

6 UNDERFLOOR HEATING SYSTEMS - AN ASSESSMENT STANDARD

SYSTEM DESIGN 3
Floating floor
Floating floor installations are generally achieved by laying a pre-formed
high-density polystyrene panel on top of the prepared base, either an
existing flooring system or a new construction. The pipework is laid
into the pre-formed profile, with or without metal heat distribution
plates to distribute the heat over a wider area, and the floor decking –
generally chipboard or finished timber or laminate – is laid on top.
Although the decking sections are glued together, they are not fixed to
the insulation but left to ‘float’ on top of it. If carpet is to be used, this
can be laid onto the chipboard decking.

Figure 2: Typical floating floor construction.

There is an alternative arrangement to the use of pre-formed insulation

panels, aimed at making use of more of the surface area of the tube for
heat transference. The contoured insulation is replaced with flat surface
insulation material, and a 25 mm layer of sand and cement infill added.
This provides a degree of thermal mass (as with a solid floor construction)
and greatly increases the heat transfer characteristics of the floor.
However, with this type of construction, the implications of the
additional weight imposed by the infill need to be considered and taken
into account in the overall construction design.

UNDERFLOOR HEATING SYSTEMS - AN ASSESSMENT STANDARD 7

 3 SYSTEM DESIGN

Timber intermediate or suspended floor

As with solid floor construction, there are a number of different ways of
achieving a suitable underfloor heating installation within a suspended
floor.

Figure 3: Typical intermediate/suspended floor construction.

A number of systems involve fixing the pipework to the underside of the

flooring system, and often using metal spreader plates to distribute the
heat more widely. Insulation is installed below the pipework to limit the
downward heat flow. Other systems operate by battening over the top
of the floor joists and laying the pipework in the void that is created.
Otherwise, such systems are very similar to the arrangements described
earlier.

The reduced output generally available from underfloor heating installed

in a timber intermediate flooring application can be improved by adding
a layer of sand and cement between the battens as described in the
previous section. However, the same warnings regarding additional
weight apply.

3.2 DESIGN CRITERIA Prior to commencement of the installation, the detailed design
information produced by the specialist supplier/installer should be
checked against the information or criteria provided originally by the
designer to ensure that what is being installed will suit the purpose for
which it is intended.

The design team should certify that certain criteria have been adhered to
during the detailed design, and the inspection staff should check the
appropriate checklist to see that this has been done. Some of the main
criteria are:
• internal and external temperatures
• U-values
• ventilation rates
• individual zones

SYSTEM DESIGN 3

• floor surface temperatures

• pipe spacing
• floor finish
• system water temperatures
• system water flow rates.

3.3 SYSTEM SIZING - From the information provided by the design team, or agreed with the
GENERAL
client where the specialist is employed directly, the underfloor heating
specialist supplier/installer will carry out the design.

The inspection staff should try to ascertain whether or not the design has
been checked by the client/design team, and that the installation can
begin.

3.4 SYSTEM As well as detailed pipework layouts, the information provided should
SCHEMATICS
also include drawings showing the rest of the pipework in the system.
However, this latter information may not be provided by the underfloor
heating specialist as this may be outside their work package.

There are a number of ways to configure an underfloor heating system,

and some of the most common are shown in the schematic diagrams
below. Such diagrams must be provided by the person responsible for
the detailed design of the system, and they must be approved by the
authorised person before any work commences. This authorisation
should be demonstrated by completion of the appropriate sections of the
checklists.

Typical examples of arrangements for typical domestic and commercial

applications are shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5:

INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE 4

4 INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE

As with all forms of heating, a successful underfloor heating system relies

on supplying and installing all the correct components in the proper
manner. Unlike other systems, however, certain key actions have to be
carried out at very specific stages in the construction process which
cannot be easily rectified or amended should they later be found to be
incorrect.

4.1 PRE- The actual installation process will run more smoothly if careful thought
INSTALLATION
ISSUES
is given to the process throughout the design and specification stage.
These should have been dealt with by the design team early in the
project. This will also make the inspector’s job easier because of
consideration at the appropriate stage in the project.

Design issues
It is easier and cheaper to resolve as many issues as possible at the design
stage rather than once on site, and typical points include programming
and builders’ work requirements.

Programme
• make sure that there is sufficient time allowed in the construction
programme for the works
• be aware of the implications that an underfloor heating installation
will have on the general programme. For example, the entire floor
area must be free of operatives from all other trades while the
pipework is installed
• before the pipework is laid the building should be protected from
[3,4,5,8]
inclement weather, as required by BS EN 1264
• the programme should also be arranged to have the screed laid as
soon as possible after the underfloor heating pipework has been
installed
• heavy traffic over the installation should be avoided.

Builders’ work requirements

Any special builders’ work requirements should have been covered at
design stage, with the items detailed in the tender and the contractors
made aware. Examples include holes through walls at low level for the
passage of pipes, locating and fixing manifold cabinets.

Client issues
The client will have agreed certain key elements with the designers prior
to the design having been completed. These will be details such as:
• final floor finishes or coverings
• location of manifolds
• forms of control
• positioning of any items that need to be fixed to the floor.

 4 INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE

Contractor issues
It is important for the contractor to understand the basic principles of the
underfloor heating installation so they are able to integrate it properly
and efficiently into the overall construction process. They will need to
give extra thought to the sequencing of the works on site to avoid delays
and lost production while the pipework is being laid, as the area having
the pipe installed needs to be free of all other staff, and damage to the
pipework once installed by arranging for the screed to be laid as soon as
possible after the installation of the pipework.

The contractor will also need to be made aware that the heating must
not be used to dry out the structure as soon as it is installed. Instead,
there is a lengthy running up period to actually bring the system into use
and this needs to be allowed for in the site organisation. This period also
includes for drying out of the screed, as discussed in Section 3.1.

The responsibilities of the main contractor, as well as the underfloor

heating specialist, need to be made clear and agreed. It is important that
any work or support that is required by the underfloor heating specialist
is provided either by the specialist themselves, or by the main contractor.
One of the most common sources of dispute on site is where particular
items of work have not been carried out and both parties assumed that it
was being done by the other.

General issues
Other general issues that need to be checked and closely monitored
during the installation works are:
• the use of the correct tools for working with the particular pipe and
fittings
• there should be no joints in the pipework that is to be covered
• there should be no kinks or creases in the pipework
• if there is a risk of freezing before the system is due to be fully
operative but has water in it, the underfloor heating specialist and
contractor must agree with the design team a suitable method of
preventing damage due to freezing. This may be achieved by
providing some additional local heating to raise the ambient
temperature, draining some of the water out of the system to allow
room for expansion or adding anti-freeze
• pipework should not overlap.

4.2 GENERAL The actual installation process followed by the underfloor heating
INSTALLATION
PROCESS
specialist may vary from project to project, for example taking into
account the different construction arrangements, contractual agreements
and work packages.

The typical steps in the installation process are:

Provision of information
Make sure that sufficient information is provided by the underfloor
heating specialist. Final detailed design is done by the specialist and is
their responsibility, so make sure that you are satisfied with the
information they put forward. Things to check include:

12 UNDERFLOOR HEATING SYSTEMS - AN ASSESSMENT STANDARD

© BSRIA AG 13/2001
INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE 4

• number and locations of manifolds – these should have been agreed

during discussions with the underfloor heating specialist prior to
placing the order
• which area is served from which manifold
• arrangement of controls – this may involve more than just the
underfloor heating specialist and it is vital to ensure that all necessary
controls are compatible
• approval of the underfloor heating specialist’s calculations and
designs, particularly the heat losses where that is their responsibility
• ensure that all pipe layout drawings are fully dimensioned, and check
them with the latest available architect’s plans.

Working drawings
Check the drawings that the underfloor heating specialist has produced
for working to and check the pipe routes carefully for possible conflicts
with other building elements.

Preparation
Make sure that the main contractor is aware of all the interfaces with the
other trades and that all the preparatory work has been done. This may
typically include holes through walls, laying of insulation (where not
provided by the underfloor heating specialist) and that all other trades are
out of the area and the space has been cleaned.

Installation of insulation
Make sure that the correct type and thickness of insulation has been used,
including the edge insulation. The edge insulation acts as an expansion
element as well as thermal protection. The insulation may be supplied
either by the underfloor heating specialist or the main contractor. It is
critical to check this as the main contractor or other members of the
design team may have agreed a change to the specification, for some
reason, which may affect the performance of the system. This should be
double-checked before the underfloor heating specialist starts work.
[3,4,5,8]
Expansion joints must also be allowed for, with BS EN 1264 stating
that they should be provided every 8 metres across the floor. Other
standards that may be applicable are DIN 18560 Parts 1-7[9] and
BS 8204 10 .
[ ]

With a suspended floor system, make sure that the insulation is installed
correctly and that it is adequately supported, with all joints sealed and a
vapour barrier installed where the insulation used may be porous.

Installation of underfloor heating pipework

Connect the pipework to the manifolds before laying the pipework.
Make sure that the pipework is laid in strict accordance with the layout
provided by the underfloor heating specialist. Pipework should not be
laid within 100 mm of the perimeter of the space to allow for the later
fixing of any carpet edging strips.

Pipe should be laid straight and shall not have any kinks or creases.
There shall be no joints within the pipework.

UNDERFLOOR HEATING SYSTEMS - AN ASSESSMENT STANDARD 13

© BSRIA AG 13/2001
 4 INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE

For suspended or intermediate timber floor systems it may be beneficial

for the contractor to mark out the positions of elements, such as internal
walls and partitions, sanitary fittings, kitchen cabinets, etc to help ensure
that the pipework is laid in the correct positions.

In structural slab systems, once all the pipework has been installed on the
mesh, raise the mesh on spacers to give 40 mm cover over the pipework.

Pipework fixings
Ensure that the correct pipe clipping system is used, and that any clips are
fixed at the appropriate distances recommended by the manufacturer.
(See Section 3.1 Typical arrangements). When using anhydrite screeds,
it is essential to fix the pipework securely so that the pipework cannot
float above the screed.

Filling and testing

When all the zones have been completed, the system can then be filled
and tested. The tests should be witnessed and the appropriate paperwork
and certification completed. Typical test pressures are 1·5 times the
working pressure of the system, or 3 bar, whichever is the greater.
This may vary between materials and manufacturers. Any leak will be
evidenced by a fall in the reading on the system pressure gauge. If testing
overnight, remember that the change in diurnal temperature may also
cause the pressure to drop and so may appear very low first thing in the
morning. Certificates must be obtained for all tests, and signed by all
agreed parties.

Commissioning, balancing and start-up

This may vary between systems, but the basic steps are:
1. fill all pipework with water
2. purge all air from the system
3. operate the underfloor heating system pumps
4. balance the circuit valves to the design flow rates
5. switch on the heat source
6. raise the system temperature – this is generally done slowly to avoid
excessive drying out of the flooring, typically by increasing the
water temperature in the system by approximately 5ºC per day,
starting from a temperature of 25ºC or 15ºC above the temperature
of the unheated floor screed, whichever is the higher, as detailed in
[8]
BS EN 1264, Part 4 . During this period the system shall operate
24 h/day if the weather compensation controls are functional
throughout
7. check the temperature drop across each circuit and rebalance if
necessary. This may not be possible if the commissioning takes
place in the summer months
8. check the correct operation of the control system (this may be done
by the underfloor heating specialist or another trade, depending on
who installed it). This should include checking the correct
operation of all control valves, thermostats, actuators, time control
devices including the night set-back function, and outside weather
compensation devices

INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE 4

9. check the flow and return temperatures. Again, this will depend on
the weather conditions at the time
10. check room temperatures
11. produce the commissioning report
12. check working drawings, modify as necessary and produce a
detailed set of record drawings.

4.3 MAINTENANCE In terms of regular maintenance, the requirements of each component

will be different according to the use of materials, the construction and
the function.

The parts that are common to all heating systems, such as boilers and
circulating pumps, can be maintained as they would in any low
temperature hot water system.

To facilitate the maintenance work, the inspection staff will need to be

aware of the arrangements made for draining down etc. These should
have been designed into the system.

Inspection staff will also need to carry out periodic checks for any leaks
around the manifolds and also to monitor the temperatures of the circuits
and compare these with the commissioning data.

4.4 THERMOGRAPHIC A very effective way of checking the quality of an installation, and also
SURVEYS
providing a record of the position of pipework within the floor, is to
have a thermographic survey carried out.

This can indicate not only the routes of the pipework but also provide
accurate information on floor surface temperatures to enable a quick
comparison with the design. This can highlight the causes of poor
performance of a system, as can be seen in Figure 6, which demonstrates
excessive floor surface temperature.
