This is a popular form of central heating with self-builders. Yards & yards of pipe snake under the floor and provide gentle background warmth. They get laid under the screed, so the screed itself acts as a giant sort of radiator.
We chose Nu-heat to supply this, and our solar hot water panels. They recommended Ian Young Plumbing to fit them.
It all begins with the manifold in the utility room:
From there, the pipes go out to every room in the house. This is the ground floor, with the pipes laid over the second layer of black plastic.
The screeders will cover this on Friday. One of my tasks has been to go round the ground floor, marking the location of electric cable, water & gas pipes, and where these pipes pass through a frame, before they are all covered with screed and lost to sight.
