There are certain ingredients that change the way your underfloor heating system will operate. For example, concrete screed floors will behave differently from others and give you better performance.

It's unusual in the UK to see concrete floors on upper levels or on joisted floors. Aluminium spreader plates are often used on first floors and above. These react differently because you're not heating a thermal mass within the floor.

Because of that, you'll need a higher water temperature flowing through those circuits to achieve a reasonable output of heat to your property.

What you don't want to do is mix different floor constructions from the same underfloor heating system manifold. That's because concrete screed floors react differently versus other floor constructions.

The floor covering that you ultimately choose is another element that’ll greatly affect the underfloor heating system’s performance since coverings will have different thermal resistance levels.

By keeping all these various elements of underfloor heating systems in mind, we can help you choose the best system based on your floor type, whether that be screed floors or something else.
