I have the UFH running at 27 degrees C - After several hours, the floor is just not getting noticeably warm, neither is the room.



How much insulation is under the UFH?

It's pro-warm 25mm EPS floating insulation boards on T&G wood floor.

Didnt think EPS was legal under kust a wood floor. Not screeded then? is
there no air gap?

The EPS has an outer aluminium layer, which is apparently for heat distribution, then there's the underlay, then the Engineered floor.


What is under the original T&G floor ?.

if this is a suspended and well ventilated ground floor, then in
your location, with only 25mm of EPS, you are going to lose quite a
lot of heat (and thus money) heating your underfloor space.
