Glenfintaig Estate

Underfloor heating system designed, supplied, fitted and commissioned at Glenfintaig Estate.

This job was a combination of installing underfloor heating in both a new extension and retro fitting in an existing part of the house.

Intelligent controls were used with full weather compensation.

A non standard method was used for the floor design. Although the floor was suspended timber joist, we decided to maximise the amount of thermal mass available, instead of using the standard 25mm. Chipboad was secured inbetween the joists as low as possible. Floor insulation was then put down and the heating pipes were secured to the insulation. This left 50-65mm space for a wet sand cement screed to be poured and leveled with the top of the joists.

This technique allows a larger thermal mass to be installed and no overall rise in floor level.
