Underfloor heating project

[Ajax123]

I have at last made a start on my lounge underfloor heating project and thought I would post a few pics as I go







The floor boards removed to expose joists.........

Holly smokes! No messing about there!

 

[Ajax123]

Certainly past the point of no return

Bloody hell Alan, look at the size of that Rat.. :lol:

Bloody hell Alan, look at the size of that Rat.. :lol:

Hehe.... Darwin the beagle dcided he wanted a sniff about in case there were biscuits down there...... Looking forward to phase two at the weekend. Insulation....

 

[Ajax123]

Phase one complete. Insulation going down next.

 

[Ajax123]

And we're off. Had to clear out the air bricks this opening ..... That's a pleasant job...... Not

 

[Ajax123]

I see nothing wrong with child labour...... My boy was a fantastic help today

 

[Discount Tile Supplies]

Hope ur not sticking to that wood!

 

[Ajax123]

Hope ur not sticking to that wood!

Nope. The sterling board is to go in between the joists as a sub base for the heating pipes and screed

 

[Ajax123]

Joists battened reay for steeling board subfloor and final layer of insulation going in. Soon be ready for underfloor heating pipes and 30mm of screed

 

[Ajax123]

Getting there slowly but surely

 

[Ajax123]

Phase four complete..... Next job to screw it all down then notch out joists for underfloor heating pipes....

 

[Ajax123]

Underfloor heating pipes next.......

 

[White Room]

A bit of making good on the wall Alan......

 

[Ajax123]

Yep. Problem with damp. Injection DPM was a mistake. Gonna put wood panelling on the bottom half of the wall to cover it all up.....

 

[Ajax123]

And then there were pipes.....

.









And some left overs



Ooh and a dog..

. I think hes saying "tout younsaid it would be warm daddy"

 

[Dan]

Spot on there mate!

 

[Ajax123]

Screeding next at last

 

[nybor62]

Bloody hell Alan, look at the size of that Rat.. :lol:

must have read my mind stole my thunder lol, nice 1

 

[Dan]

Screeding next at last

ooOoOOo bet you're excited!

 

[Ajax123]

Oops.... Cocked p the pipes and had to splt it into two loops.......oh well all dne and valves connected and heating switched on....





Oh and as I can't find a thermometer I use the alternative test method to heck if the pipes get warm.......






Tidy up and screed on Thursday .... Yeahhhhh!

Then I can build stuff.....

 

[Ajax123]

Tripods set up for levels and then as if by magic .........









We have screed..... Yippeeee!

 

[Gazzer]

Any idea where to get those tripods ?

 

[Ajax123]

Those particular ones are the screeders from whom I borrowed the pump. He has them made by his brother in law I think. Dave parish of screed floor limited. You can contact him through his website if you want some. Screed Floor | Concrete Floor Contractors

 

[Ajax123]

Battens all cut and screwed on to the wall and panelling has begun...... At this rate it will be done by Christmas.....


And when it's done it should look something like this which I did in another

 

[Ajax123]

Ooops!! Here's the pics



And the one I made earlier

 

[Ajax123]

Almost there ... Nearly ready for painting.......

 

[DHTiling]

Shame about the D/socket hitting into the molding.. and i would heat the floor to allow the wood to expand before you paint it.. or you will get annoyed when dark lines appear as the mdf expands lol lol ..

 

[Ajax123]

Yeah I was annoyed about the socket too.....hadn't got enough tail on the able to move it any further across...... Never mind. They won't be seen that much. Good idea about the floor..... Hadn't thought about its effect on the MDF. Ta.
