Complete solution for underfloor heating pipe placement

Opting for underfloor heating instead of traditional radiators in his conservatory has enabled Chas Smith, a retired export manager from Chippenham, to use his conservatory all year round – including on the coldest day of the year.

He had installed the OSMA UFH system plates design from Wavin Plastics the 4×3 meter space in just five hours, including laying the polystyrene insulation.

Chas says: “I decided to go for a stand alone underfloor heating installation because I didn’t want to have to connect the system to the main boiler for hot water, as that would have meant I’d need temperature control valves on all the other radiators in the house. This was the simplest solution without doing any major work or upgrading the existing system.”

The OSMA UFH system plates concept is a cleverly designed complete solution for underfloor heating pipe placement. Vacuum-formed tough plastic sheets have an upstanding grid of integral clips to hold the OSMA UFH pipe in place. The system plates lie on top of the insulation and clip together.

The system plates are versatile and easily trimmed to size to fit the room space. Full and half turns are held securely and even diagonals can be included if needed. The system gives full flexibility for layout and spacing and protects the pipe while the screed is laid. The pipe is held in place even while it’s walked over!

Flooring tiles over the underfloor heating keep the conservatory at an optimum temperature.
