I want to find out some info on installing underfloor heating to the first floor (i.e. joist construction). I know there are so many methods to install the pipework, what is your experience with the different method, what are the best and worst?
I know Osma and others do the foiled polystrene method, where the pipes run in channels in the insulation, although I have heard you need a lot of connections under the floor for this system as you need to install it with the pipes in the channels… is this correct?
I know lots of companies do the systems with heat emission plates, although some say you can hear them creaking when the floor heats up.
There is the system where you put a small biscuit screed down and lay the pipes in that, but this increases the weight on the floor which I am told increases the timber joist sizes.
Are there any good methods??!!
