Hi,
I have a new extension and am doing as much as I can myself. I am looking at options for the floor, I have underfloor heating to fit and need to put down 70mm of celotex or equivalent.. the standard option as I understand it would be re-inforcing mesh and screed, but I was looking at the following kinspan solid floating floor option:

my underfloor heating came with clips for joist so if I could lay the floor as above, then lay timber down (i.e. roof battens or similar) then fix the pipes to the battens and put a floating floor on top then this would allow me to do it myself and fix issues with the underfloor heating long term without digging up screed..
this kind of thing:
is this a good/bad/indifferent idea? and what would a building inspector think of it?
thanks
Trev
