Hi, I'm planning to install a thermal buffer store (to prevent my combi cycling) as part of my UFH on a building control ticket. I'm a professional engineer, and feel competent to install it safely. However, I am unclear about part of the G3 requirements (so competency not quite there, but...

Hi, I'm a new member here, but have been floating in the background for quite a while now. I'm putting acoustic insulation and UFH into the floor of my first floor flat. I'm planning an approach inspired by an (acoustic) detail mentioned in building regulations document E, 3.102, which...

Hello every one, I’m going to be making our en-suite in to a wetroom and want to use wet underfloor heating. Do I tank the room then put the under floor heating on top of that or the other way round? If any one has any recommendations on tanking products or wet underfloor heat please let me...

Нi Friends I am Zmicer I will show you a new project. I hope it will be useful to everyone who builds a house. Equipment did not work the proper way. There were installation mistakes from the very beginning, and Underfloor pipes of heating system were leaking. We decided to replace radiator to...

Hi can someone help! Our boiler man has brought in an electrician and both seem to be lost. Is it possible to have a nest setup to work our UFH setup.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Our Combi boiler is a Glowworm Ultimate2 35c. We now have 2 two port valves installed after the boiler...

I’ve had many engineers with no luck, please help! I am running a glow worm 30 HXI boiler, approx 3 years old. It is a three zone system - one zone is the underfloor heating consisting of 5 loops (approx. 35sqm room), another zone is the rads consisting of 7 rads (6 have TRV's) and the final...

It is starting to turn cold and I will have to soon have to turn on the UFH. I know that I should do this gradually over a few days, increasing the temperature by 1 (?) degree each day. Is it the room thermostat that I should adjust every day, or the manifold's temperature that I should adjust...

We have had Cozytoes heating matt laid and tiling done. They have come to install the Touchscreen Timerstat and they have realised they forgot the Probe/sensor that lays under the tiles amongst the matt. I know, cowboys, plonkers, not paying for it etc etc. However is it possible to fix this...

Hi to all plumbers out there. Looking to confirm my understanding of my underfloor heating design as I'm getting conflicting info from my plumber, my electrician, and my underfloor heating tech support :( I have a system boiler with an unvented cylinder "behind" a 2 port valve, a 4 zone...

I'm in the process of upgrading the controls of my heating system. (Unvented S plan with 2 heating zones) So far I have swapped the old fashioned room stat for a nest/heat link to control the zone valve for the upstairs zone which is a trad radiator system. That all works BRILLIANTLY! So the...

I am currently connecting my UFH system to my combi boiler (Worcester Bosch 42CDI). I will T off from the existing radiator flow and put in a 2 port motorised zone valve on the rad flow, will I need a 2 port zone valve on the UFH circuit? I cant ever see a situation when my UFH will not be...

Hi All I am trying to get to grips with the details of installation of the floors on the rebuild of the first floor of our house. All of the old floor covering has been removed and we are fixing and replacing joists as required. The joists are spaced at 400mm centres. The intention is to fit...

Hi All We are renovating a 1980s built house and intend to fit UFH throughout. In the existing part of the house the floor is made up of 4" of hardcore, DPM layer, 4" concrete with 2" screed over the top. Given that there is no insulation in the existing floor will overlay UFH in EPS panels...

Hi I have a Solfex UFH system installed by my builder but without any great knowledge (used Solfex design service..) It has three zones, one of which has two loops controlled by the same thermostat and actuators on the return manifold for control. Although the Solfex design defines the flow rate...

Hi, I'm renovating and old (~1870) house. Having pulled up the floor coverings and original (knackered) tiles downstairs, I've discovered that 2 rooms and a sort or corridor area have a solid concrete-like base, although all at different heights, while another room has a suspended timber floor...

Hi, I was wondering if there is anyone that can provide advice on my UFH design (attached). Each Run is circa 75m, I have gone for 150mm spacing at the front as there are large bi-fold doors. The top section has sufficient room height to install roughly 75mm insulation then 15mm pipes and a...
