Hey guys, I’m looking for underfloor heating but there's so many to choose from! I have read to avoid ‘pack’ and ‘kits’ as they work out so expensive, so what do I go for and what to avoid? Eventually there will be 2 or 3 ‘zones’ that is like to be able to control separately..? Any...

16m HV pole in the middle of a cropped field where we're not permitted to take a mewp to... yeah im going up on my ladder.

I don’t suppose you’ve got the whole drawing with what the pointers are explaining? :D

Thanks for your help. With regards to the frame breathing, the vent would be between the cement board and the insulation, not the framework? I may be completely wrong, so would appreciate correction if this is the case, but using an online u value calculator... 89mm studs, insulated inbeween...

Thanks, sounds promising. I’ve researched and they’re so many different way of doing it. It seems the best/most effective way is to screws over the timber floors. Insulation between the joists, heating pies, screws over level with tops of joists, re-board, then floor covering...

Thanks mate, I will be looking into this at some point too

Is this sarcasm or am I actually getting somewhere? o_O Lol! What would be achieved with the 140mm studs? From what I have researched, I can achieve the u value with the 89mm even without the 50mm on the outside. I’ll look into the render query. I was thinking of one of these thin coat...

Thanks for the suggestions. Am quite happy using the studwork method that I already know. Just need to get these details nailed. Thanks

So here's my latest. Note there will be insulation between the studs. Not sure if it needs to be full filled or if it will cause problems if not. Have used 140mm blocks to spread the thickness of the wall over. I contemplated insulated plasterboard as well but not sure if it would be...

Speed and workability. I’ve worked with timber a lot more than I have than bricks. Plus I can get a lot these materials through work Cheers

Exactly my thinking now that I’ve drawn it and looking at it. Just can’t seem to find any examples, unless I’m searching the wrong thing ‍♂️

Here a better idea of my earlier thinking. Now I look at it, does the inner leaf create a thermal bridge? Do I even need it at all? Thanks

So there’s no cavity below dpc in that situation? In my drawing I’ve got the frame on the outter leaf, and then battens and rendered cement board, which would end up overhanging. Too much overhang isn’t ideal, any other suggestions appreciated Thanks

What’s that built up from, behind the brick course?

Thanks woody. Yes, that was very rough on the only bit of spare paper I had in my van and had to hit it down quickly before I forgot it! Will draw it up on the computer and see what it looks like. Thanks.

Hey guys! I’m in the early stages of planning my rear extension and would like some advice on the wet underfloor heating. The existing floors are suspended timber, and the extension will be solid. I will be knocking the kitchen into the extension so would like to run UFH in both old and new...

Hey guys. I’m currently in the early stages of planning my rear extension, of which I will be tackling most of the work myself. Being timber frame, I’ve been looking for ideas on how the footings and getting out if the ground will work but can’t much info on it. Please excuse my very poor...

I’m sorry to drag an old thread up again. It’s just I’m planning something similar and am interested in seeing the build up of this. Was it build under building control regs?

My 500x800 was a guess on the thinking that, as it’s timber frame, it’ll be lighter. Hmm yeah, that’s the same measurement taken from outside ground level to soffit, so need to show the build up in more detail. Just found out that this isn’t strictly PD, so might have to fork out on proper plans

Thank you. I completely missed that despite looking through the whole lot! I have gone through the local planning website for people that have applied for cert' of lawfulness in my road and there seems to be a few. I can only guess they also missed the above point, and got away with it? IF i...
