Underfloor heating pipe between the joists of a suspended timber floor

How underfloor heating is applied between the joists of a suspended timber floor. IMPORTANT NOTE: If using this method you should check with your architect or structural engineer as to the suitability of this technique. We cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage to property due to the increased weight loading and stresses on the joists due to notching.

This project was already at an advanced stage when we were consulted about the heating. In a suspended timber floor construction the pipes would normally be fitted on top of the joists but on this occasion this was an existing building and the door heights and stairs were fixed. However, we devised a method whereby the pipes could be laid between the joists on trays. The project's joiner fitted the trays and our installer notched the joists to allow the pipe to be passed between the spaces.
