I am in the process of having an extension built at the rear of my property. We have knocked the outside wall down so we have a large L shaped room consisteing of the existing kitchen (original house) plus the new extension.
The proposal put forward for the UFCH was for a wet system (Polypipe) for both parts of the building (new and existing). Both rooms would have had separate controllers so they would be independant. However we now have an issue because the screed that has been taken up in the existing part of the property is not deep enough for the wet system (can only get 20 -30 mm of screed) and no insulation.
The only way to get the correct depth would be to break up the concrete slab and lay a new properly insulated slab to the correct depth which I suspect will be fairly costly.
I am wandering if there are any issues if we install wet UFCH in the new build part and electric UFH in the existing part of the room.
Obviously the two systems won't come into contact with each other so I suspect its is OK but would like proffesional advice.
Regards
