Hi guys just asking if you have ufh anywhere in you house if you do where is it and do you use it or has it been turned of to save on the leccy bill.

Nope, none in mine.

Only had heating on a few times , waiting for it to get really cold !

Nope... not me.

I used to have in my old house. It wasn't as good as what's available today but I loved it. Though I think I'd have altered the timer slightly given the fact that at least 5% has gone on energy bills.

Not in my house, just thick socks

I have electric under floor heating in all the tiled floors in my current house and I wouldn't be without it. My last place had wet underfloor heating through the whole house and I found it the best form of heating going............

I've got 'lectric UFH in my bathroom which is always on all year round and feels lovely.
I am installing it in my en-suite wetroom, too.

Personally I would never invest a dime in any "electric" heater like underfloor or even an electric blanket as they are a health hazard.
I would only put in radiant water pipes, the heck with this electric fad.
But I still put them in for people and never give them my opinion as it is their choice as adults.

We have Electric UFH throughout the ground floor and in 3 bathrooms and its the best thing since sliced bread.
Comes on for 3 hours in the morning and 5 hours in the evening and is set at 27 degrees just now and 20degrees throughout rest of year.
Costs half pence/hour/sq metre and is worth every penny.
With the competitive costs of installing it now it gives customers the option/choice and adds value to a property.

Havent yet but should be going in our new ensuite shortly, however it wasnt in the budget and as im over budget it may well get put off for a while yet.

Alberta, interesting comments there, why do you think its a health hazard?

These electric heat wires emit RF which is not tuned to a healthful frequency (typically 50-60 Hz for power lines).
Remember, our bodies operate electrically.
Living under power wires has been linked in many studies to a wide range of ailments.
If you look at Lahkovsky's work, Royal Rife, Beck, Priori and others you will see that by using proper frequencies pretty much any disease can be cured via frequency, but this work has been suppressed due to the big pharma interests which such technology would render obsolete.

Wow , thats totally over my head fella! All i will say is im sceptical when i see the words 'linked with or to' in medicine

Well they say bull**** baffles brains,you should write a book on that very subject Alberta,leave the tiling to us simple folk

You know, tiling and stone work gets very boring, the brain tends to wander.
All that time spent in little rooms adhering bits of decorative stone and such to small areas is very tedious, but the brain can atrophy if unused.
It is good to have a broad knowledge as then you have lots to think about.
I have met many very fascinating tradespeople whom one would never peg as being fascinating until you spend some time with them.

I think about many things when I'am tiling and I like to assume that I have a fairly educated mind.
However I have never in 37years been bored with my occupation or felt that state of tedium when my concentration was not on the job at hand - prehaps I've been standing on UFH for too long!

Perhaps.
I do enjoy my line of work, and despite a wandering mind from time to time, I still keep focussed, it's like walking and chewing gum I'd imagine, or riding a bike and having a conversation.
I have found the tedium diminished since my son started working with me full time however, so the days of talking to the stones are done with.

Do the stones ever talk back??

As a man i find tiling and breathing is enough for me, anything else would be multi tasking and we cant do that can we?

The stones, they lie all the time.

100% right!
For me the last 12 years have been the most enjoyable, seeing my sons development as a tiler and knowing he has a trade that potentially can bring him many rewards.
Fortunately he doesn't log on much as 'little John' so it will fall on deaf ears

Well thanks guys for your opinions, even though some were well over my head.

I thought I only asked a simple question Alberta Stone has just blown me away. I really never new the stones talk to you when you lay perhaps we should charge more for laying talking stones.

Curly,I wouldn't get bent out of shape at Alberta's philosophical rantings,If the stones are talking back to him it's time for a white jacket,memI just take a radio with me so I have some background music while my client and tile get 100% of my attention,when the mind wanders,mistakes are made.

anyway you bunch of loons

ive got it in the kitchen as we didnt have room for a rad and its fantastic

Varme 200wt matt and its great its at 30 degrees at the moment a bit too hot but makes a big room nice and cosy

I highly recomment it and yes it will cost to run but i have got a few jobs off the back of putting it in my own house so its free sort of !

and with all that snow before xmas it was easy to drop your wet kid and boots and let the floor dry them all out

I did hear about the rf and its probably true it does fry your mind a bit but who will notice ?

maybe the Rolling Stones.......I'll get my own coat....

They do say its better as its an even temperature rising across the whole room whereas a radiator cirulates the heat upward to the ceiling by convection rather than actual radiation. However once this has made its way round the room via the ceiling in a cirular motion it then come acroos the floor as a draft. The centre of the room between floor andceiling then has a higher ambient temperature than with a radiator.

That completes your lesson for today, ill be asking questions tomorrow
