Designing your layout
Designing the ideal room layout for an MHP installation and selecting the required products couldn't be simpler. Follow the steps below or use the online product selector tool at www.ufch.com/mhp
Select panel width
Step 1:
The spacing of joists and the available gap will determine which MHP panel width will be most suitable for each project. Select the MHP width nearest to the gap width, ensuring that this does not encroach on the space for other services. The 490mm width panel will normally be fitted in the wider joist spacing used by composite joists and I beams.
Select panel length
Step 2:
The span of the joists in each room will determine which MHP panel length should be selected. The span is defined as the free space from wall to wall that needs to remain uninterrupted by trimmers or other services. Ideally, install MHP panels prior to other services whenever possible. Use the table below as a quick guide to suitable arrangements of MHP panels leaving a 200mm gap for pipe connections.
Planning your room arrangement
Step 3:
Calculating the amount of floor area to be covered by will be determined by the required heat output and will take into account areas of the floor that do not require heating, such as under built-in wardrobes, baths & shower cubicles. The diagram below illustrates a typical layout that might be considered.
