Trickle vents on the windows, extractor fan (maybe even 2) and a dehumidifier. Basement is approx 50m2. When installing the wool insulation between the metal studs... should the insulation be kept off the wall (leaving a gap) or should it be pushed up against the wall? As mentioned there will...

Basement built with infill blocks (c35 concrete and rebar). Tanked internally with KA Tanking Slurry. Water is not entering basement however walls are attracting condensation. Basement is 2/3 in ground, there are 3 window openings above ground, at approx 1x1m each. These windows are yet to...

:unsure:

I think i will tank the basement floor (i have already done the walls) and add a DPM over the top just for extra protection. I am planning to use clips to hold the pipes down which will be via using a nail gun - clipping the pips directly through the DPM into the concrete slab. As you have...

Having already put 100mm of rigid insulation below the slab, I cannot have that much over the slab now due to keeping an eye on head height. The aluminium foil will be just to reflect heat back up (as much as it can). I understand that the method in which the floor has been constructed will...

Having had a few UFH installers in, 2 have suggested to use aluminium layer on the current concrete slab, to reflect the heat back up. 2 products mentioned are...

ive reached out to a few and one has suggested to use the crates. Is there anywhere i can get a pipe layout design? atm all i am getting is the breakdown of components required, or is the design only provided once you complete the purchase.

I am sure i have seen some kind of foil sheet to lay on top of the slab to reflect the heat back up? Planned screed thickness will be 65/70mm.

These your mean > https://soleheat.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=624 If i go down that route i will end spending an extra £1000 on just those crates :D Are there any thermal benefits of using the crate on a concrete slab? or is it purely for fixing?

Newly constructed basement I have a concrete slab with 100mm of insulation beneath it. What would be the best method to use when fixing the UFH pipes? If insulation was above the slab I know it can be easily fixed to that.... architect specd for insulation to be put under slab! Membrane > UFH...

Perfect. All makes sense now! Many thanks all.

This is with cold water, correct? and then test and leave pressure in system until the screed goes down?

Thanks again all. I have reached out to a few online UFH providers and have sent details over. Question: If the manifold is installed at the desired location and the UFH pipes are laid as designed by the supplier. Before laying the screed, to purge the system does it need to be connected to...

Thanks. Issue i have is that I have ongoing extension work. I have the 2 area's mentioned that need UFH and screed so I can then start boarding out the walls. Whilst i am getting this done i have a side extension which will also require UFH and screed (at a later date though). Where the...

Are the pipes from different manufacturer's more or less the same? I was thinking of purchasing pipes and installing and then at a later time getting some one in to connect up the valves.

Sorry! more info... Extension. 2 floors.... with 2 zones. 54m2 47m2

Looking to order in some UFH heating pipes to be installed over a concrete slab and a block and beam floor. Once pipes are laid will add 70mm of screed. Is there any particular brand to go for? avoid? any deals? Thank you.

Any one kindly offer advice? Option 4 62.5mm Insulated plasterboard straight on to the walls using foam (50mm insulation/12.5mm plaster board). Issue with this is that i don't think the walls will be strong enough to hold any fixtures and fittings. As mentioned before, i do not want to...

I am planning to insulate my basement using metal stud - which will be a floor to ceiling attachment. Reason for not going down traditional wall battens is due to not want to compromise the tanking slurry applied to the walls. I have just seen this stud in Selco >...

With the metal studwork would it be best practise to have foiled back insulation board right up against the tanked walls, or should a gap be left? Am I correct in thinking that metal stud walls are designed to have plasterboard directly attached? unlike a battened wall where you would install...
