Under floor heating and electric boiler

Back in February 2011 I posted a blog about underfloor heating something that we have decided to use in our bathrooms but of the electric type. Also in an October 2010 blog I wrote about an electric boiler which could be used to in conjunction with a piped hot water UFH system. Now I can report on project that incorporates both.

Even better this current project that I am working on. It has a piped UFH system and the Contractor has cleverly incorporated a temporary heating rig utilising an electric boiler to help dry out the floor screed. The rig is connected directly into the header pipework and can be moved around the building as required to other headers so over a period of time the screed is helped to dry out slowly. The building is not yet watertight and is waiting for the windows to be fitted which will over the next week. The temperature through the screed has to be carefully controlled to prevent the screed from drying out to fast and cracking.

Below are are a couple of photographs showing the floor before screeding together with the temporary boiler arrangement. Hopefully you can work from the photographs how the rig works without explanation. However, if you need more information please leave a comment and I will get back to you
