Hi, I am not even sure if I have a problem or not. I have had underfloor heating installed but the manifold creates a whirring / humming sound when running. The guy who installed it says that is the noise they make. I am not sure if this is truly the case and he can’t be bothered to sort it. I...

Hi DIYNOT I've searched this forum but not found anything matching my current issue, so please kindly help me. I have a property with wet underfloor heating, a REHAU system with 4 zones each with their own REHAU Star 20 thermostat. These are basic analogue dial thermostats. My intention is to...

Hello all I'm planning on having an UFH system put in, around 30 sq. m, in size. Pipes will be screeded in around 75mm thick, above a 100mm of insulation. From looking around at various websites, it's thrown up more questions than just picking a kit. I see various brands selling 'single...

Hi All. I have recently had an extension done and we have UFH on just the new extension, and radiators upstairs etc, in the house we have a nest thermostat and a heatmiser stat for the UFH area. The issue I am having right now is that the nest is the only control for heating the radiators and...

I am having a plated underfloor heating system installed between the joists of my suspended timber floor throughout the house, so, I was wondering what the best subfloor type is to lay over the joists when the UFH has been installed. So the floor joists are at roughly 450mm centres which is...

Hi All Apologies if this is answered elsewhere, I couldn't see an answer but I may have missed it I have a crap combi boiler thermostat, I would like to replace it. (It's in the wrong place, hardwired and not very capable) We are having an extension built this year, and will add wet...

Evening all. I have enquired about having a air source heat pump fitted after seeing adverts on social media. Very sceptical. I have a solid brick detached property with no cavity. Wooden windows. Poor insulation. They said I’d benefit massively from the RHI scheme due to these reasons...

I seem to have what must be a common problem when using underfloor heating with a boiler however I haven’t managed to find a standard solution online. The boiler cycles at a high frequency due to the difference in boiler power compared to what the underfloor heating manifold will accept. Setup...

I have installed heat spreaderplates between floor joists and installed wet UFH. I took care to stabilise the floor as much as possible with noggins and aluminium roof plate straps adapted to size to hold the joists as an additional measure. I have placed 18mm t&g chipboard P5 flooring on top...

Hi, My partner and I are having an extension on the back of our house and we would like UFH throughout the downstairs. Most UFH systems I have found aren’t the best for wooden floorboards and the floor height would raise substantially, so I was wondering about the feasibility of replacing the...

Hello, We are renovating a lower ground flat in a Victorian mansion block (but inside was completely rebuilt in 1989). In the open plan kitchen/dining/living space my architect has suggested putting down foil, then a layer of wet UFH, Omnie Lowboard 15 straight on top of the concrete slab...

I’m looking at this UFH solution for an upcoming project on suspended timber floors. https://www.omnie.co.uk/torfloor/ It’s the only solution I’ve found which gives a low floor build up and is designed to replace the structural floor. It comprises a routed 22mm chipboard sheet with a foil...

A customer has asked for a quote for a garage conversion, one of the requests is to have underfloor heating, the problem is that they have asked for the electric mat system and the area is 40m2. is that even possible with the load on the wiring. it seems like a lot of cable under the floor. also...

Hi I have underfloor heating pipes installed in between joists for first floor. Wonder what anyone has used in the past for insulation between joists? Rock wool or Celotex boards? or any other insulation. Realise the celotex route will be more expensive. Thanks in advice.

Hi Guys, I already posted that question on tilers forum, but got no answer so far... We (my wife) has an idea about swapping kitchen and a living room... I got no problem with plumbing and electrics but she also want tiles and UFH in the new kitchen. The current floor is wooden and...

Hi, We have had an extension built and are having the layout of the house completey changed so thought it would be a good time to install underfloor heating. I'm a boiler guy by trade but have never installed UFH but it doesn't seem too complicated. Firstly I assume that in the new extension...

Hi, We are renovating our house - its currently been gutted and we are thinking of putting Wet Underfloor heating in the whole house and currently weighing up the options. The ground floor will definitely be UFH (concrete floor so will be 100mm celotex + pipes + screed + flooring.) and we are...

As part of a renovation, our plumber installed UFH in the main ground floor areas, as we were having new floors laid. Rads were installed in the rest of the house. The UFH is in two separate zones (separate flow monitors for each). Therefore, a 3 zone system in total. The plumber left us with...
