Reflective primer

[goz]

Gents just want to pick you brains . A customer has requested the use of a reflective primer for there UFH . Does this stuff work? Not sure if it's electric UFH or wet, if it's wet would the reflective primer be a hindrance to the heat coming up through the screed?
Any ideas would be appreciated

I thought id call for you and the kind lady on the phone said they only sell it to folks who are using electric ufh not wet... but as for wet she said she couldn't give me an answer to whether it is suitable so I would advise against using it. she also added that it is nowhere near as good as insulation boards so if you have the height I would go with that if possible hope that helps ya buddy

The primer is to go on the screed before you lay UFH , putting it over a screed with wet UFH defeats the object as it would insulate heat coming up....well it would if it worked ! Not much faith in it myself, always go for 10mm insulation boards.
