What this work involves
Start with available height, subfloor and finish. Not every floor is suitable for cutting channels. Coordinate the system and controls for each room.
- Heat demand and source
- Floor suitability
- System and height
- Manifold, controls and routes
- Finish and commissioning
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Defer vulnerable final finishes until investigation and disruptive repairs are complete.
What the drawing needs to explain
Create a phase drawing with three colours: repair now, improve later and investigate first. Mark where phases meet, such as roof edges, service routes and finished floors.
How to review the result
Check both completed work and preparations for the next phase. Record which connections are deliberately temporary and when they will be reassessed.
Cost factors for this service
System, area, repairs and installation changes influence the price.
Bring this to the discussion
Plans, heat source, floor construction and finish preference.
Questions about the work
Is every floor suitable?
Structure, height, finish and heating demand must be compatible. The heating and flooring specialists should coordinate their requirements.
The design situations here illustrate choices; they are not completed projects or a diagnosis of your property.
