floor
A floor is the bottom surface of a room or vehicle. Floors vary from simple dirt in a cave to many-layered surfaces made with modern technology. Floors may be stone, wood, bamboo, metal or any other material that can support the expected load.
The levels of a building are often referred to as floors, although a more proper term is storey.
Floors typically consist of a subfloor for support and a floor covering used to give a good walking surface. In modern buildings the subfloor often has electrical wiring, plumbing, and other services built in. As floors must meet many needs, some essential to safety, floors are built to strict building codes in some regions.

Hi.
What would you recommend for pipe support whilst running 15mm central heating pipes parallel to floor joists?
My idea is to screw wood supports perpendicular to the joists and clip the pipes to the top, or, screw-in wood supports with 22mm holes and pass through the pipe.
When the pipe...

Looking to install a kitchen island with integral sink, this will mean installing drainage and plumbing. But will need to dig a hole through UFH, has anybody done this before?
After a CH install I've lifted the floor boards to find the central pipes unsecured and not insulated. The pipes are not even run next to anything to be secured to, and the access to the crawl space has been blocked with pipes. What's the best solution here. Should I rerun the pipes and clip...
