underfloor heating thermal primer

[paulgalindo]

does underfloor heating thermal primer work well over asphalt covered concrete floor,

 

[Gazzer]

The question is ...Does it work at all....very sceptical myself

 

[Stewart]

Waste of time and money........

Hi Paul are you talking about the green primer that comes with the ufh kits ? I would use sbr bond primer in this case

no not that stuff this stuff is seperate and doesnt come with any kits its sole purpose is to provide a barrier between certain substrates and avoid floor panels and its blue reason to see when applied when covered

 

[paulgalindo]

thermal heat barrier brushed or rolled on new via nasa as it reads.

We always say put a mechanical barrier of sort between asphalt and underfloor heating. This is needed to keep the heat away from the asphalt, to stop the asphalt warming up/becoming soft. Would a thin layer of primer do that job????

Hi,
I bought some of the thermal primer a while back until I was convinced by you guys on here to use boards instead which I will be doing. As I have the primer anyway is there any reason/advantage in using it anyway on the Marmox boards before fitting the UFH?

 

[Uheat - Keith]

No advantage over the Marmox, save it for a dusty floor.

Thanks Keith,
is that because it basically doesn't work or it just won't add any more thermal value to the board, just interested to know.

Cheers,
Roland
