Right. Floor heating pipe ready for screeders!

Next issue is fixed load (kitchen units) on 18mm chip over 40mm PIR
foam.
The heating system suppliers recommend stiffening the floor (insert
suitable batten) where the load will bear. Kitchen designers pooh pooh
this as unnecessary. The kitchen units are on site so not impossible to
measure. Not actually feet but a circular bearer near each corner of a
600mm unit.

Any thoughts?

Scrub that last bit. I think it will have normal screw in feet!

Any thoughts?

This sort of thing?

Given that they manage not to dig in to the 18mm weetabix of cabinets,
why would they dig in to an 18mm weetabix floor?

Straight on to chip? Not vinyl or tile?

Similar.

Well.. the cabinet feet are positioned near the corners so have some
rigidity provided by the sides. The floor is supported uniformly. To be
fair, the designers were probably assuming expanded polystyrene rather
than PIR but I'm not sure there is much difference.

Prolly vinyl. Definitely not ceramic tile. Boss wants some fancy long
length parquet she saw in Paris! I want something that will conduct heat
reasonably well after it has struggled through the chip.
