I am about to do some building work (opening up an arch between two rooms) that requires I completely replan the layout of my down stairs. As I will have everything in a state of flux, I am thinking about putting down underfloor central heating.
I already have some in my new kitchen on a solid floor. I am well impressed with it hence considering it for the rest of the ground floor - be nice not to have radiators all over.
It is a 1910s house with wooden floor boards sitting on joists. Below the joists is quite a large cavity.
There are airbricks in the outer walls that I will have to consider. I want to heating the space and then letting it escape - do I seal up the airbricks
Is it possible/sensible to lay underfloor heating in this type of cavity environment - as opposed to laying on something solid.
Do I clip the pipes to the joists. Is there some neat insulation board that I can suspend below the pipes to reflect the heat up into the room.
Water pipe or electric mat?
Has anyone heard of such a thing. I am being daft.
Thanks for any thoughts.
