Im thinking about re-doing my bathroom & fitting an electric system. Ive already bought tiles though, do you need to use a certain type of tile or is a Porcelain tile ok to use? | |

It runs cooler because it's fitted in super insulated houses. Would be useless in somewhere older with drafts everywhere. | |

Its designed to be used constantly at much lower temperatures that regular CH. | |

we put it in every house we build/sell, usually only on the ground floor too. | |

You can get a 'wet' system that only raises the floor level by 18mm its by Polypipe and is called Overlay. Got to be cheaper than electric | |

Using water you'd end up raising the floor by about 100mm. Damp first, 50mm insulation on that, pipes clip into the insulation then screed directly over the pipes. | |

the wire would be easiest. foil insulation ontop of the slab, wires laid out then tiles on top of that | |

My college project was to design an extension on a house and i went with underfloor heating. Cant remember exactly what the build up was but there was insulation above the slab and the pipes ran in the insulation. Laminate on top but i think there must have been adhesive in between parts. | |
