underfloor heating
Underfloor heating and cooling is a form of central heating and cooling that achieves indoor climate control for thermal comfort using hydronic or electrical heating elements embedded in a floor. Heating is achieved by conduction, radiation and convection. Use of underfloor heating dates back to the Neoglacial and Neolithic periods.
Hi, Looking at putting electric UFH down in the kitchen onto an uninsulated concrete floor. Plan to use 6mm insulation boards under the mat, but my question is do I need to lay a screed down over the mat before then laying the tiles + adhesive? Most of the UFH manufacturers offer the choice of...

Hi, we have travertine tiles all over ground floor that are slowly disintergrating and developing hundreds of holes.
The UFH is wet and buried in a concrete slab (I think) to give a good thermal mass but would it be better to tile over as this would just add a bit more mass or lift them all and...

Hi everyone
please can you share your thoughts on this. I received this email from the project manager/contractor from this job we completed a while ago:
Dear Mike,
I was contacted by customer as the under floor heating that youinstalled in his bathroom in September 2014 had stopped working. I...
I'm looking for a bit of advise. I have fitted wet rooms before using tray formers and i have laid electric underfloor heating before, but never combining the two. Im looking to see what you guys think of my plans.
The existing floor is a timber floor. I plan on putting kingspan insulation...
Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone knew roughly the cost of running electric underfloor heating? I am aware that different systems will be slightly different but just a general estimate from peoples experience.
I am asking as was building an extension in our house and weighing up the cost of...

I am in the middle of house remodelling and I am wanting to install wet underfloor heating across a 128 square meter area but I have been told by my neighbour that it is really expensive to run and to look in to it.
He told me that it cost him £500 in heating oil in one month to run his...
After a long search on the internet I managed to source some really well made loose wire underfloor heating wire clips. These are in fact galvanised steel banding with clips built in. I had to import a whole load for a few ufh projects I have and they have been an absolute God send! I also...
Hi Guys, never used underfloor heating before but I'm doing one this week. Only 3 metre square, loose wire Prowarm on old but good condition floorboards.
The data sheet says no mention as such of Hardiebacker, we have some 6mm insulation boards on site already.
Is it Hardiebacker as normal...
I've just read a post and the idea of using a hot glue gun to stick them down sounds like a good idea but before that I was think about stapling some render mesh over it its about £25 for a 50m roll which is 1m wide so effectively it's 50sqm and its gonna add a massive amount of strength to the...

I touched on this topic the other day and I have come across it again pricing up a pro warm kit.
The 2.5m Mat 150w on there site - £165 with standard thermostat.
The same kit on eBay sold by them. £125!
Makes the 10% trade discount they offered me pretty pointless. Anyone else found this?

Hi guys, I have a customer who wants to put electric underfloor of approx 3m2 into a 6m2 bathroom with a timber floor. No big problem there I hear you all say....lol.
The tiles they want to use are whats causing me some concern or rather the build up to the tiles I should say, they have picked...
I went to have a look at a job the other day, it was a underfloor heating job where about twenty tiles had started to come away from the floor with a few cracked ones. It's in a kitchen and the tiling has gone completely under the cupboards, the flooring has been down for about 10 years, I was...
Does any one know if Aqua defence is ok with electric heating matts?
Also, would you put the matt under the tanking and risk trapping in moisture or put the matt over the tanking membrane?
