Hi,

When putting CH into a house with concrete floors what is the best way to go
about it.

Run the pipes along the skirting?
Microbore in conduit?

What do people tend to do.

TIA,
Rick


Underfloor plastic heating pipe in the concrete :-)

Otherwise suit yourself. Its unwise to lay copper actually IN the screed
at lest without it being in a insulating and expanddable foam sleeve

Running pipes in an uninsulated floor - even in a conduit - wastes
heat..but looks neater.

Your choice mate.
