Installation Read this entire document first! Pipe distance for concrete floor is c/c 200 mm to c/c 250 mm and for timber suspended floors c/c 200 mm. Pipe to be 100 mm from the walls. Always go with flow to the cold spots first. See hand sketch for typical layout. Max loop length is 110 m. Max loop length is 110 m. If the pipe comes in a 200 m coil, it is sometimes much easier to work with the pipe if cut in half, ie 2 pcs of 100 m coils. Also we recommend two people for fitting the pipe, one person that holds the coil and another person to clip the pipe into the insulation. Fix the pipe to the insulation with the clips provided. You need approximate 1 to 2 clips per metre of pipe. The manifold and control pack should always be located centrally in the building. The PRT room thermostat timer controls the pump. Note, see system layout provided in this document for typical layout. Also, see wiring diagram provided. The system needs to have independent control from the boiler, ie S-plan system with a two port valve. Try to use all the pipework supplied. You will usually have waste. The pipe is marked every metre so you know when it is time to go back to the manifold.

Firebird Products Ltd are market-leading manufacturers of heating products with a proven track record built on the global supply of heating systems. Established in Ireland in 1980, the Firebird name has become synonymous with performance, quality and innovative design. At the forefront of technology, Firebird are committed to providing cost-effective, energy-efficient heating solutions that not only meet, but easily exceed today’s stringent legislative requirements. Historically an oil-fired boiler manufacturer, the product range has been expanded to include air source heat pumps, biomass boilers & stoves, solar thermal systems and underfloor heating systems. @firebirdboilers www.firebird.uk.com 3 Underfloor Heating Systems Underfloor heating is not a new concept and dates back to Roman times when hot gasses from a fire or furnace passed through a network of flues under the floor of the building. From the 1960’s onwards, various modern systems have been introduced which include expensive to run electric underfloor heating and steel pipes, which had expensive material costs. In 1975 plastic underfloor heating pipe was introduced into the UK which greatly reduced the material cost and allowed wider access to this highly efficient way of heating. Suitable for both new build and renovation projects, Envirofloor underfloor heating systems are ‘wet’ underfloor heating is the most efficient way suitable for a wide range of ground and upper to provide space heating as it is up to 25% more floor constructions.

  • Underfloor Heating Installation Guide Installation and Maintenance Guide Installation and Maintenance Guide
    UNDERFLOOR HEATING INSTALLATION GUIDE INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE CHAPTER 8 - UNDER FLOOR HEATING (UFH) 8.1 General Guidelines Thermal resistance of wood varies with the species but is in the order of 0.13m2 K/W. Wood naturally reduces heat transfer through the whole floor construction and thus wood flooring should only be considered over an UFH installation with full prior consultation with the heating engineer. Please also note that most Ted Todd engineered floors are supplied with a moisture content (MC) of between 8% - 10%. After a period of time under an UFH installation the MC of the wood may drop to 6%-8% or lower. This could cause some shrinkage in the floor boards. Similarly, if the UFH system is switched off after installation (such as in the summer) the M/C of the floorboards may rise again causing some width expansion. For this reason, the MC of the wood floor must be carefully checked before installation and if necessary, extra acclimatisation should take place. Similarly, allowance should be considered for some expansion of the wood in case the heating system is switched off and the site’s humidity rises again. All of our engineered floors are suitable for installations with UFH systems. You must check with the manufacturer of the UFH system to ensure that the system can be properly controlled to ensure the maximum temperature of the timber floor (at any point) will not exceed 27°C. All installations of Ted Todd wood floors over UFH systems must be accompanied by the installation of the Ted Todd Fidbox monitoring system allowing the temperature and humidity of the wood floor and sub-floor to be monitored and recorded.

  • Solar Thermal from Timóleon
    Introduction to Solar Thermal from Timoleon to Solar Thermal from Introduction Solar Thermal from Timóleon 2014 TN21 Solar Thermal Timóleon Solar Thermal Systems are able to collect the sun’s energy so that it can be used for both heating and hot water. All Timóleon hot water systems enable the homeowner to benefit from RHI payments as well as making significant savings on their energy costs. Energy from the sun Solar thermal is very effective as an alternative energy source. In the UK we receive up to 1200kWh (units) of solar energy per square metre of land each year with Contents energy available even on a cloudy day. Compare this to the annual heating and hot water consumption of a 3 bed house of about 10,000kWh and it is clear that solar can make a significant saving to the energy costs if collected and efficiently used. Introduction to Solar Thermal pages 2-3 The energy collected from solar thermal can be very useful however during the spring, autumn and winter this is often at a low temperature. For this to be useful the underfloor heating needs to run at low water temperatures and have a control Hot water system that is able to make intuitive decisions based on how cold it is and the pages 4-7 temperature of the stored water. This delays the need to use a boiler or heat pump until there is no useful energy available from the solar panels. Timóleon’s SunCylinder does just that, enabling up to 40% of the total house heating load Heating / Hot Water to come from solar thermal energy.

  • Guidelines for Using Hardwood Floors Over Underfloor Heating (.Pdf)
    GUIDELINES FOR USING HARDWOOD FLOORS OVER UNDERFLOOR HEATING While Abovo Wood engineered hardwood floors are ideally suited to both underfloor and regular radiant heating systems, there are a few simple rules that every hardwood floor owner has to follow in order to achieve product longevity. GAPPING AND CHECKING It is worth noting that all wood floors will have some movement due to moisture variation. Temperature and its changes do not harm the wood floor directly, however, it does affect its moisture content. As the temperature goes up, the moisture content in boards generally goes down and vice versa. Therefore, setting high room temperatures can lower the moisture content in wood floors and cause gaps between the boards. Engineered hardwood flooring is designed to be stable and resistant to moisture variations, however, some seasonal gapping between boards is normal and to be expected. Always inform your contractor or the company that installs your underfloor heating system that you are planning to have engineered hardwood floors and ask for their instructions and recommendations too. SIMPLE RULES Temperature Humidity 1. Starting underfloor heating – When just starting 1. Prior to installation, the sub-floor must be underfloor heating, be extra cautious. dried for about 2 weeks.
