Onoff Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Have a look here at the bottom of the link at the installation bit if you want to add legitimacy to the idea. I used the red Polypipe panels btw as did I think @PeterW Not sure if I would again as I reckon I'm au fait enough now to clip straight to the pir but it's damn quick and easy! Pretty cheap too. https://www.polypipe.com/housing/polypipe-underfloor-heating/solid-floor-systems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oz07 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) @Roz how has this progressed? Any pressure tests since installation. As an aside, how come dpm detailing is so finicky then you can go and bang ufh staples in? Edited September 19, 2019 by Oz07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not ever had an issue, but with liquid screed they put a much thinner ( 1200 ) membrane over the lot to keep it leak free. With concrete it's not as much of an issue as the water tends to separate out and the concrete stays put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HughF Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) This was ours, a little over 10days ago. 125mm concrete, on 240mm pir. puffed it up to 5 bar for the pour. I would have preferred to use pex-Al-pex, but I didn’t have quite enough in stock and I was battling against time on this one, my wife and I threw it down after work one evening. That’s continal pe-rt, in 16mm. My builders did theirs in slab too, I think the accepted wisdom is changing nowadays.

gavztheouch Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 (edited) I’m planning on doing heated structural slab it’s about 7m by 15m 250mm deep in an isoquick foundation system. Did you guys have to put control joints ie shallow cuts in the slab to prevent cracking in unwanted places?

Makes much more sense doing the slab this way. Did the contractors who did the slab also power float it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flanagaj Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) What was your cost/M2 for the concrete poor and power float? Edited March 5 by flanagaj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamJones Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 We went self compacting concrete, no power floating required. £150/m3 for the concrete (TopFlow). £1100 for the install. 100m2 @ 100mm = £2600 ex vat installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 We had a 170m2 200mm slab put down and powerfloated with a graphite coloured dry shake on the top, came in at about 4k ex-vat IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
