Electric Underfloor heating in Conservatory.

[SUNRAY]

well it is but independent of the rest of the house heating system as would a wall mounted one.

Fitted is fitted, adding a heater to a wall is defendable but setting it under the floor tiles... sharp intake of breath.

Chances are you may never need to worry about it being inspected.

I read a story a few weeks ago about how the emissions benefits of all the current electric vehicles are outweighed by the surge in sales of SUVs by a factor of about 8.

I bet that there’s a similar issue with more efficient boilers etc. being outweighed by people putting heating outside on patios and in conservatories.

10mm of insulation is nothing.

well judging by the feedback on here a wall one is the way to go and buy a pair of slippers to keep my feet warm.....

 

[mikebh50]

that's 10mm of insulation on top of the concrete floor roof has 200mm.

Yes, I understood that. You should probably have ten times that to have a chance of complying with the required standards.

 

[SUNRAY]

required standards.

Required in a conservatory??

Required in a heated conservatory.

Doesn't matter how you do it - heating a conservatory is a massive waste of time and money.

Required in a heated conservatory.

In which case it's not a conservatory, it's a room which has very different requirements/rules.

And very different planning permission.

So am I being told here that the ultaframe roof with all the insulation and the latest spec widows is all a waste of time and it's never going to get warm?.

That is perhaps debatable - but, as has been said, if it is very well insulated and has 'fitted heating' (such that it does get warm), then I think that probably has major planning implications.

It will certainly be better than it was but a vast acreage of glass is never as warm as as walls.

I assume the installation company worked with BC when the work was done.

Not been done yet will be replacing a 14 year old conservatory with thin polycarbonate roof.

Knock it down and build an extension.

Knock it down and build an extension.

It sounds as if that is essentially what the OP plans to do - hence the possible/probable potential planning and BC implications.
