Control of underfloor heating using thermal imaging camera, insulation?

But that's how it is - I haven't seen it for the first time. Nevertheless, more were laid than indicated in the calculation

Why should I have a heater under our refrigerators? Why under areas that are completely sealed off?

As I said, that did not refer to areas where a bed or sofa is located, but rather rigidly planned areas.

And where is the work in that?

Hi,

with something like this:

Or am I allowed to ask the BT to hand over the plans of the underfloor heating to me?

I have to admit, I’m chuckling a bit: Why the hell should it be forbidden to ask your BT for that? Unless there are blueprints for an atomic bomb in there... Although you can find such blueprints in any scientific library, so that would actually not be critical either.

Seriously, just ask them nicely. It may be that, depending on the BT model, you don’t have a right to the plans, but sending them to you as a PDF by email doesn’t cost the BT more than a coffee break’s worth of work.

Whether they’ll be much use to you is another question. You don’t actually know if the pipes are laid exactly like that in reality.

From everything I’ve been told so far, the underfloor heating is usually installed across the entire floor area of the room. So also under cabinets, etc. Otherwise, you simply don’t reach the necessary floor area. Unlike Sebastian, it’s installed completely even in the dressing room in our case. We only have about 3 sqm of free floor space there, which would be too little.

Best regards,

Andreas

Hi,

Why should I have a heater under our refrigerators? Why under areas that are completely sealed off? As I said, this did not refer to areas where a bed or sofa is located, but relatively fixed-planned areas.

In principle, I agree with you to some extent, at least in kitchens and dressing rooms the furniture placement is really to be considered fixed and there you can probably lay more pipes in the center of the room and fewer or none at all under the furniture at the edges.

But: doesn't that increase the risk of cracks in the screed? Then you heat it very unevenly after all?

Best regards,

No, because it doesn’t heat up suddenly - I could not find a single crack after the screed program. Now nothing should crack anymore anyway. In the dressing room, we have a bit more space, so the cutouts were possible - although only the niches were affected. There are also places where shelves/cabinets will go, where snakes also lie.

And where is the work in that?

There is no work involved.
I just find it pointless to leave areas empty - better to heat evenly right away.

You said it was work - hence my question. I just find my method sensible - but that was never the question.
