    Hi,

    We are renovating at the moment and have removed suspended wooden floors to replace with concrete floors.

    Just wondering what is the best way to run pipes to radiators previously they ran under the wooden floor.

    Should I leave a channel or a cavity in the concrete for the pipes or just concrete over them?

    Any help/ideas appreciated.

    Thanks

    I think you are over thinking this, presumably you will be laying down insulation before concreteing the floor, lag the pipes properly and tape the joins anchor the pipes securely to the insulation and concrete away

    Insulate and pour away. Wrap up well

    Insulate to a higher spec than normal & ensure every joint is completely insulated that no wet concrete can into.

    Obviously, pressure test all pipework before the pour.

    Consider multilayer for the pipework also. It comes factory insulated & no joints.

    Thanks for the replies appreciate it. Just to update and give options in case anybody has similar questions. I decided to go with a channel in the screed similar to what I found on the UK websites below.
