Right, so over the holidays I'm planning to get some of the plumbing ready for the ufh system that will go in soon. So far I've decided where the manifold is going to be situated and I plan to run a set of flow and return pipes from the boiler. I have a valiant combination boiler which I plan to...
Looks like I have between 3-4" of concrete. Happy to go down the 225mm of eps if people think that would be ok? I'm planning on finishing the floor with tiles if that makes a difference?
Might do that, thanks.
If say I find 3-4 inches of concrete, is that sufficient to lay say another 4 inches on top of that and then go DPM, insulation and screed?
Thinking I might just go down either the retrofit or in-between joist method as this sounds like I would need to build a peoper Base. It's the water UFH system I'm thinking of going for
I'm planning to install UFH on the ground floor at my house which currently has a suspended wooden floor. I have around 300mm void under the floorboards with a concrete base. Assuming I go with a 75mm screed to fill, my question is what should I fill it with as I would like to do this myself if...
So I'm looking in to which system/Brand I should go for and I would appreciate your views. I'm looking at 4 zone system covering a total of around 50m2.
Thanks
I thought I saw a hot water tank on display in the plumbers merchant the other week that had an UFH outlet but I might have been mistaken in that case :(
So running the UFH directly off the combi is fine and works well? the pipes will be going down in a screed.
Thanks
I currently have a Valliant combi to which I'm going to add UFH system to. So my question is if I wanted an efficient system, would it be better to have an unvented cylinder installed and have the UFH run of that?
thanks Dan but I'm leaning towards either a pug dry mix or gypsum based overlay board finished off with a screed. I want to maximise the heat transfer from the pipes and I feel having them in contact with either sand and cement mixture or screed will make the system more efficient? I'm hoping...
