    ufh under kitchen unit

    Morning Chris, 32mm pipe is being used for general plumbing together with press or compression fittings. We've never supplied 32mm pipe for the UFH, even for commercial jobs we've done 20mm pipe @ 300mm / 200mm centres depends on the project requirements. I haven't even got any figures with...

    ufh under kitchen unit

    Hi Chris, Running the pipes under the kitchen units doesn't cause any problems as long as there's no food being stored in the kitchen units. This is the main reason why most of companies don't recommend to install the UFH underneath the units. I agree with the fact that colder screed will...

    ufh under kitchen unit

    Hi there, when we design the system we never go for UFH under the kitchen units (as long as we know exactly where kitchen units will be). In some cases when customers haven't got a final design of the kitchen they cover the whole area with pipework and then they use thin layer of insulation...

    wet underfloor heating problem

    I'm looking at the photos again and I need to ask you a silly question (sorry) - photo No 1 - is the pump pumping the water into the right direction? You have got a mixing valve flow and then pump. I've got a Grundfos pump in my hand right now with motor in the same position as the one on the...

    wet underfloor heating problem

    Hi there, many thanks for the photos, looks like a nice installation job. Can you call me on 01394 593 304 so we can check few things over the phone? I I won't be able to help I'll give you a number to Uponor technical support and perhaps they will help. Many thanks,

    wet underfloor heating problem

    Hi there, Can you please send some pictures? Have you replace the old manifolds with new Uponor ones with V5 control pack? If so I would like to see the connections (flow and return) as this system works on opposite way as majority of other UFH systems. flow is being connected to the return...

    What transition layer between tiles and chipboard with wet ufh.

    Hi there, how about using decoupling membrane like a Ditra mat on top of chipboard? This would help. Kind regards,

    What transition layer between tiles and chipboard with wet ufh.

    Hi guys, I'll totally agree with Chalked. insulation is designed to stop the heat to pass through so I would never recommend to use it on top of underfloor heating. Is there any reason why there's 22mm chipboard required? Normally people go for 18mm which is load-bearing. If you are tiling on...

    underfloor heating installation problem

    Hi janequeenie, It's really hard to see what's wring without a site visit. What also concerns me is you've mentioned the white pipe is going to UFH Manifold where I can't see it on the second photo. Which part of country are you? Thank you.

    Faulty Thermostat or Floor?

    Hi there, I've just checked it and it's an Aube thermostat (they brand them differently for some companies hence yours is called Estat). Floor sensor resistance should be 10k Ohm @ 25 deg C. If temperature will be lower resistance will go up. Please check your floor sensor resistance with...

    Wireless Thermostat recommendations Please

    It's a really good system. I honestly can't say if it's better or worse than Hive or Nest. The advantage of Heatmiser (comparing to Nest) is a price when you have multiple thermostats (as you buy only one Hub).

    Wireless Thermostat recommendations Please

    Neostat is 230V. There's a wireless version called Neoair which would work as a normal thermostat (it's a bit more expensive than Slimline - RF). the advantange if Neosystem is when you buy a Neohub (£125 incl VAT approx) you can control your system via Smartphone). You could go for Neoair +...

    Wiring problem?

    Morning, have you got another 2 port zone valve installed for the CH? Thanks,

    Wireless Thermostat recommendations Please

    Hi there, I would recommend to go for Heatmiser Slimline-RF thermostat and receiver (RF-Switch). Total cost for both items including 5% of forum discount would be £92.91 incl VAT. Thank you.

    Thermostat comes on then immediately goes off

    Hi dan85, what was the ambient room temperature that time? Was it much less than 21 deg C? Do you have a timer installed as well which controls the times of the UFH? It's a Maincor branded thermostat but it's made by Heatmiser UK, model called DS-SB. You can speak to them directly on 01254...

    Underfloor heating challenge

    Hi there, we could offer you our Ultraslim system which is only 18mm thick (same as 20p coin). Heavy boards are made from recycled gypsum, paper and water, mixed in an 80%- 20% ratio to produce homogeneous, dense sheet material that is cured, they are pre grooved for 12mm pipe which will be...

    Is my UFH broken!

    Hi Jason, I would agree with other guys who mentioned about air in the system. Try to get rid of the air, don't know what system you've got and whether there's any air vents on the manifold. Do you know how the system has been installed? Screed, overlay etc? UFH takes some time to warm up so...

    Hi Rob, below is a link to the kits we offer which comes with these boards: https://goo.gl/5aVhHN Here's an image of the actual panel: with regards to carpeted areas you would need to over board the heavy boards with 9mm of plywood or Chipboard, tiles can be laid directly on top by using...
