Wavin Plastics - OSMA UFH proves popular
Underfloor Heating (UFH) can be used to heat any room – whatever its
shape, size or function. This energy efficient method provides a
comfortable form of heating that spreads warmth evenly throughout
the room, leaving walls free from radiators.
Wavin Plastics – a leading UK provider of water management solutions
– offers a number of OSMA Underfloor Heating systems to suit any
application. Karly Taylor, spokesperson for Wavin Plastics explains:
“There are some decisions you need to make first, such as which
system you require, which will depend on your floor type,” says
Karly. “If you have a screeded floor you can opt for either;
Staples, System Plates or Pocketed Polystyrene systems. If you have
a timber floor, you will need to use Foiled Polystyrene or Modular
Chipboard.
“There are two typical pipe patterns for laying UFH pipe – spiral or
serpentine,” adds Karly. “Each system has a recommended pipe layout
so you can look at the room you’re installing it in and decide which
works best for that room shape or size.”
The spiral, or snail, pattern follows the room shape in a spiral to
the middle. Pipe is initially laid at 400mm centres and then
reversed out to leave pipe spacing at 200mm centres. Both the
Staples and System Plates options can adopt this pattern.
The serpentine pattern takes a route up and down the length of the
room with loop turns at each end. The parallel pipe should be at
200mm centres. All OSMA UFH systems can use a serpentine pattern.
Karly explains: “Both spiral and serpentine patterns can be used
effectively in flats / apartments where UFH is being installed
throughout the property and also in extended layouts, such as adding
a conservatory or utility to existing rooms.
