Engineered floor over underfloor heating
Q

Hi, Engineered wooden floors are available in various thicknesses (plywood layering) and quality specifications. If you're intending on using underfloor heating it is best to speak directly with the supplier to ascertain if you should/not use this in conjunction with underfloor heating to avoid any potential hazards. Hope this helps

underfloor heating - have you done it?

We have recently purchased a new build with wet undlerfloor heating throughout, also a bungalow. We have engineered wood floor (floating) through whole house except for ensuite and bathroom which are ceramic tile. It does give a lovely even heat and you have the flexibility to control each room individually. You are correct that it is not super quick to respond because it is heating such a large surface area but this is not something I have found to be a problem at all. It only really gets moved up and down about 3 degress anyway. We have our bedroom very low because we like a cool room and this works well. Our house is 4 bedroom, approx 136 sqm and at the moment our heating and electric is working out at about £70 a month (this is for everything, no gas or anything on top of this) however, we do have airsource heat pump which adds further to efficiency of the heating. Also, if it is useful, the cost for us of the UFH installation was about £5500 but this was in new build and not retrofit. If you have a well insulated house I would go for it! :)

Anyone insulate retro-fit underfloor heating before? LVT or tiles?
Q

Hi retro fit is absolutely fine however there are procedures to check insulation levels that need to be followed. I have had many years experience of using Retro fit ufh system and they can be as low as 20mm. I have also mixed floors from retro to new build Which maximise heated area and especially with new and old for an extension. This is very popular at the moment but it's not an off the shelf pack as many factors need to be assessed in early stages. As a consultant specialising in ufh systems for past 10 years, I have a wealth of experience. It can become a costly problem if systems are not specified correctly. All of our systems have design along with supply, installation and 2yr workmanship warranty. Do have a look at our website www.cklbuildgroup.co.uk and email over your plans to our website. My direct email is karen@cklbuildgroup.co.uk before you make your decisions!
