Hi all
I've recently installed underfloor heating and having LVT tiles installed soon. All the tiles note that the UFH should not exceed 27 degrees C. However, the flow temperature of the system will be higher than that. I know that the heat still needs to get through the screed/latex which will absorb some heat but I'm worried that it may still cause problems. I originally thought that the manifold for the UFH had some means of mixing in cold water to regulate the UFH temperature but I see I was wrong. Is there a way of limiting heat, apart from just restricting the flow? I don't think restricting would help much as it would just mean the start of the coil would get high temperatures but the end not as more is lost through the pipework with the slower transfer, but still result in issues at the start. Am I not getting something or is there a way of making sure I can keep the temperatures lower?
Top half of house are radiators so don't think I can run whole system at such a low temperature.
Thanks
Alan
