A silly question regarding underfloor heating

[Nygge72]

Hi, now I'm going to ask a silly question regarding underfloor heating that I've been thinking about.

If you embed underfloor heating in the slab, how sensitive does it become to move/add/remove walls afterward, considering the pipes?

Or will you never get down to it if you would put a wall in another place, for example?

You need to have a good understanding of where the hoses are located if you are going to screw or nail into the floor.

One should not underestimate lim

One will definitely hit the pipes if drilling and fastening a floor joist to an interior wall. If one is not "absolutely sure" where the pipes go, one should definitely avoid screwing into the floor. However, this does not mean that you cannot put up new interior walls. There are, for example, adhesives that solve the problem instead.

You can absolutely reach the pipes if you drill and screw a floor rule for an interior wall. If you don't "dökoll" where the pipes go, you should definitely avoid screwing into the floor. However, that doesn't mean you can't put up new interior walls. There are, among other things, adhesives that solve the problem instead.

And this adhesive is so strong that it equals screwing/nailing it down? I understand that it gains support from the wall and ceiling as well, which keeps it in place.

And this adhesive is so strong that it is equivalent to screwing/nailing it in place? I understand that it gets support in the wall and ceiling which holds it in place.

Yes, the right type of adhesive will hold as firmly as screws.

You don't need to drill that deep.
Use a steel rail and attach it with metal nail plug 22 mm.

Our underfloor heating pipes are embedded approximately 6 cm deep in the concrete, attached to the underside of the reinforcement mesh. The steel tracks of the walls are mounted with metal nail plugs. No matter which plug you choose, they will not reach down to the pipes.

You don't need to drill that deep.
Use a steel strip and attach it with a 22 mm metal nail plug.

Sometimes the underfloor heating is shallower than that. You're right in saying that you can drill/screw very shallow. But it's important to know how deep the pipes are. My pipes were partially very shallow. I then drilled only about 5mm. Then I made the vertical studs a few millimeters too long, so the horizontal floor beam was really tightly pressed against the floor. Then I screwed with a 5cm screw, through the beam down into the holes. This way, you don't need to drill deep at all.
