Underfloor Heating FAQs
What is the ideal pipe spacing for underfloor heating?➕
Typically 150mm for standard rooms, 100mm for high heat loss areas (bathrooms, conservatories), and 200-300mm for low heat loss zones. Our calculator determines optimal spacing based on your room specifics.
How does floor construction affect pipe spacing?➕
Concrete screed spreads heat efficiently (wider spacing possible). Timber/dry systems need tighter spacing (150mm or less) due to lower thermal conductivity.
Do I need to sign up to use this tool?➕
No signup, no email required. 100% free tool with unlimited calculations.
What flow rate do I need for UFH?➕
Flow rate depends on heat demand and ΔT. Our calculator gives you precise L/s per circuit to balance your manifold.
Can I use this calculator for retrofit projects?➕
Absolutely. Enter existing room dimensions and desired floor temp to verify or optimise current spacing.
What's the maximum pipe spacing allowed?➕
Maximum 300mm for low heat loss areas. Wider spacing creates uneven temperature distribution (more than 5°C variance).
Can Speedy Jet Plumbers install UFH systems?➕
Yes, we specialise in wet underfloor heating installation, manifold setup, and system balancing across the UK.
What heat output should I expect per m²?➕
Typical UFH outputs range from 70-100 W/m². Our calculator shows expected W/m² based on your spacing and water temperature.
