Hi,
We're having a new conservatory fitted soon. We want underfloor heating, but we're unsure weather to go with wet or electric.
The conserbatory will be about 21m2, the U value of the glass (two walls) is 1.9, and the roof will be 25mm 4 chamber polyguard at around a u value of 1.6
The floors will have 65mm of insulation between the concreet and the screed.
The wet systems will be cheaper to run, and it looks like it's not too much to install if there will only be one circet.
The electric systems I've been looking at see to have a sensor in the screed as well as a room thermostat to control the heat correclty.
None of the wet systems I've looked at do a sensor in the screed.
So, question 1) is it really nessisary to put a sensor in the screed for a wet system, or is that just to govern the temperature that the electric systems might heat the floor to?
Question 2) I'm looking at Penguin europe this for the electric systems, and Centinental here for the wet system. Does anyone have any stories (good or bad) about either company ? (private is fine)
I'll post a summary of any info I get, and I'll report back with what system I went for and what it's like
Thanks
Simon.
