Does anyone have any advice re: using spreader plates upstairs? Would we be better trying to get pipes installed in screed? What are peoples thoughts please?

New build, refurb?

 

If you're building to a low energy standard then UFH upstairs may not be needed, we only have UFH on our ground floor plus electric UFH in bathrooms (to remove tile chill) and wet towel rads.

 

As our GF is timber suspended over a basement, we used spreader plates and they worked well.

 

Only issue with spreader plates is dealing with the pozi-joists at the end of every other loop. You do not want to be threading UFH pipe through the web so we brought ours over the joist top and just cut a slot in the 18mm floor deck to accommodate (pipe was 16mm diameter).

 

This slot was then covered with the final floor finish, in our case cross laid ply and resin.
