Heating afloat on "Fingal"

I have recently installed underfloor heating in "Fingal of Caledonia", a 38m barge which cruises the Great Glen. This was part of a 3 year refit program.



A combimix manifold was used in this project coupled with intelligent controls with no weather compensation.



The floor was laid using the standard technique for domestic suspended timber floors. 9mm ply was placed over the floor joists with the heating pipes fastened directly ontop. A 25mm dry sand/cement screed was then laid, with the final floor covering of 19mm chipboard.
