underfloor heating

Anderson Floor Warming underfloor heating is a low temperature system using heated water circulating in PE-Xa pipes installed within the floor construction. Heat is transferred from the pipes to the floor, then, predominantly by gentle heat radiation, to the room. The entire surface of the floor gives off heat, which means that heat emission per square meter remains low.

Our qualified and experienced in-house technical design team can advise on the system most suitable to your project, and provide free estimates. On order, we provide full system specifications and detailed layout drawings. Anderson Floor Warming's qualified engineers can install your underfloor heating, or our design team can provide technical assistance for those preferring self build.

Anderson Floor Warming can provide underfloor heating pipe fixing systems to suit all types of floor construction including screed floors, concrete, battened, timber suspended and floating floors. We offer assistance on choosing the most suitable pipe fixing method to suit your floor construction and can provide CAD / PDF details on request. Technical advice on the most suitable floor screeds and coverings for your application are also available.

1 Pipe-in-Rail can be used indoors and outdoors and laid in screed or concrete construction. The pipe clip rail eliminates the need for wire mesh and is suitable for 12mm to 22mm o.d. Pex pipes. Rails can be laid on any type and thickness of insulation.
2 Pipe-in-Staple provides a much greater degree of choice of pipe layout and spacing. Anderson Floor Warming's staples are available for Pex pipes 16mm to 20mm o.d and will fix in standard, medium and high density rigid board insulation, eliminating the need for expensive laminated boards. Automatic staple guns are available for self installers.
3 Pipe-in-board - Pre-formed plastic castellated boards retain the pipe at variable centres without the need for specialist tools.
4 Pipe-in-plate is suitable for timber joist and battened floors. The aluminium grooved plate retains the pipe and diffuses the heat into the floor. The plates are available in twin or triple grooves for 400 and 600mm joist centres. Plate systems are ideal for first floor timber joist construction and for renovation on timber floors.
5 Pipe-in-Twist-Clip . Twist clips screw into medium and high density rigid board insulation, fixing Pex 16mm o.d pipes. Twist clips, like staples, can be fixed into any position, which provides a much greater degree of choice of pipe layout and spacing, without the need for specialist tools. This makes twist clips a popular choice for budget conscious builders for smaller areas. Twist clips are often supplied with Pipe-in-Rail systems as additional fixing for pipe runs to and from the manifolds.
6 Slotted Wood 22mm System . This system comprises of an environmentally approved chipboard floor which is shaped to contain the pipes and distribution plate. This board is laid to span joists, actually forming the structural floor, giving cost, program and health and safety benefits, as well as better heat output than using plates below a standard timber structural floor.
7 Slotted Board 16mm System - This system is for laying on load bearing floors, giving exceptionally low construction height. The system is made up of grooved insulation panels, 16mm thick, with an aluminium heat distribution plate, 0.5mm thick factory fixed. The heat distribution plate covers the entire surface of the insulation panel. The grooved panel, turn panel and feed pipe panel are made of high density EPS and provide extremely high resistance to compression.
