Hi , I am doing a rear extension - extending the living room and kitchen (2 rooms next to each other)
I am wanting to put underfloor heating . The old part of the house is wood joists (with approx 600mm void) and the plan states to put wood joists for the floor.
I am wanting to put UFH in the kitchen ( possibly the living room) however when I am reading around UFH generally concrete floor is being recommended.
Would concreting the extension bit cause any issues? Anything I need to keep in mind ?
What would people recommend? Stick to wooden joists and put the over lay UfH and put insulation betwen joists?
2) the reason why i am in 2 minds about putting UFH in living room is because I wanted to carpet the floor and I am reading the heating would need to work harder to heat up along with it not being concreting not sure if it is worth while .
3) someone has advised to do the wooden joists / insulation boards and then UFH however that will raise the floor by 40-45mm i suspect. I have hallway /WC room / kitchen and 2 living rooms downstairs . If i was to do UFH besides just the kitchen which is the first option I would do all the above rooms except the one living room as it gets warm enough with current radiators and wanted to keep it as an option , so there would be a 45mm
Step going into that room. Unless i insulate that room the same as others without putting the UFH mat so its level … just thinking my options
My first post here so please be kind
Any help / advice from experiences will be greatly appreciated
