Hello,
I have a house where the downstairs floor is entirely wet ufh and the upstairs is radiators. The UFH has its own manifold with mixer/thermostatic valve and individual zone controls. The upstairs rads are then on a separate zone. All the system is fed from an ideal vogue system 32 boiler, and there is an unvented cylinder for hot water.
I have the boiler temperature set at about 50 degrees and the UFH outlet temp from the manifold is approx 35 degrees. In the kitchen area i have LVT fitted where i have been advised the temperature shouldnt be above 27 degrees. Using a thermal camera i am seeing approx 27 - 30 degrees on the floor. The LVT has been stuck down using high temperature adhesive (F Ball Styccobond F48 plus) designed for UFH but i am concerned it would be too high. My issue is that the mixer valve on the UFH manifold is as low as it can go and i am getting to the point where if the boiler temp is turned down any lower then it wont be able to heat the radiators. Can anyone advise how best to deal with this? Can you get UFH mixers/blending valves with different ranges? Thanks.
