Floor Heating

TIMBER JOIST HEATING.

Heat emission plate brings full underfloor heating to homes built on timber joists — no slab required.

Radiant warmth, no slab needed.

An aluminium heat emission plate — grooved to hold hydronic pipe — is fixed along timber joists, or on battens over Hebel Powerfloor. Pipe is laid, connected to the manifold and pressure tested, then your chosen flooring installs directly over the top. It’s a set-and-forget system: switch it on for the cold season, off when it ends.

Want more day-to-day control?

Heat emission plate is a set-and-forget system — switch it on for the season, off when it ends. If you’d rather adjust temperature room by room, day to day, radiator panels are worth a look instead.
