STRUCTURAL CONCRETE FLOORS
Warmafloor systems can be incorporated within load bearing structural floors in a variety of applications from warehouses to sports complexes.
Over a compacted and level hardcore bed insulation panels of the required density and thickness are laid and covered with vapour barrier. Edge insulation is incorporated around the area to be heated and a wire fixing grid is then laid over the entire area.
The Warmafloor PB pipe work is secured by pipe ties to the pipe-fixing grid to the required configuration and spacing.
Where required additional structural reinforcement is incorporated to obtain optimum performance.
The Warmafloor PB pipe work is connected to the Warmafloor manifolds, filled with water and tested as previously described.
Concrete is then laid to the required depth and strength, dependent upon the design criteria of the slab.
Floor finishes both with screeded concrete and structural floors can include tile, wood, paving slabs, marble etc.
Practically any floor covering can be used with Warmafloor underfloor heating.

FLOOR EXPANSION JOINTS
The underfloor heating pipe coils are laid to suit the layout of the rooms within the building or areas, Larger areas should be generally sub-divided by expansion joints or crack inducers, which can then be sealed after screeding with a flexible filler.
Occasionally the underfloor heating pipe work may have to run across the expansion joints, where they must then be covered with an insulation sleeve. This cover should be a minimum 300mm long, to avoid any disturbance to the pipe work. (For specific advice always refer to screeding contractor or architect).
