Could anyone advise with some of these basic UFH questions.
I've been looking at the different pipe available for wet UFH and it seems that pex-A seems to be the one thats rated the highest, for those fitting UFH, is this correct & is there any benefit to using the pert pipe or Al pert or others i've missed?
The UFH will be fit to the ground floor only, there will be 5 heating zones totalling 70m2, the living room totals 24m2 so will require 2 loops. New build block & beam floor with 150mm insulation. I will be running the pipes in myself & someone will commission it when they instal the boiler. Upstairs will be radiators all on a system boiler.
- Once a pipe construction type is chosen, does the brand make a difference?
- Would 16mm pipe at 200 mm centres and 100mm from any walls be suitable?
- Who specifies the screed depth & type?
