Hi all,
After some advise about what to do with the flooring in my house. It's a 200 year old farm house which has had a solid concrete floor laid in the last 15 years ( before I bought it). It's basically cold and I doubt there is any insulation beneath it. That coupled with an extension reducing the amount of walls for rafiator has left me thinking about underfloor heating.
Putting aside the huge amount of effort to dig out the current floor I have a few questions:
1 what's the debt I need to dig down to?
2 what is the general makeup of a modern solid floor including thicknesses?
3 as I am still going to live in the house while i do the floor in sections I am planning on doing the underfloor heating pipes in one go. Is the insulation stage before pipes walkable on?
Any other advise welcome
Thanks.
