Designed for installation between joists, our AluPlate™ fit-from-above are flexible enough to be able to be installed between battens over joist. While this does mean there is a slight increase in the height of the floor, it is only minimal. Between joists however, there is no change in floor height whatsoever.
One of the side effects of being one of the longest established underfloor heating specialists in the UK is that, here at Continal Underfloor, we get one or two phone calls a month from people who bought some bits from an online discounter, or a salesman, promising them the cheapest prices.
Does underfloor heating work with carpets? That is one of the most common questions plumbers and builders are asked (along with "which carpet is best for underfloor heating") and we are then asked, by people that want the luxury and efficiency of a warm water underfloor heating system.
Ease of installation, low running and maintenance costs, compatibility with renewable energy sources and its 'invisible' nature have all contributed to the UK's growing love affair with underfloor heating (UFH).
As many householders take the decision to improve instead of move the issue of extending their underfloor heating arises and the installer must be aware what needs to be considered.
