You could try something like a Continental Solution 10 kit. Make sure,
whatever you choose, that the floor construction is appropriate before
laying any concrete.

Christian.

If you really want to be warm, forget about underfloor heating.
Whenever I look at a these systems they invariably are used in
conjunction with other heaters and the owners just wont admit that they
are useless because they spent so much money putting them in.


Total ********


Its the sole form of heating here apart from open wires we only use on
the very coldest days, and they keep 250sq meters totally warm.

Done properly, its better than anything else.


Put a decent layer of insulation under the floor and leave it at that.


That is mandatory anyway.
