    Default Electric UFH under laminate

    Is it worth it?

    i have read that the laminate will actually insulate against the heat, so it isn't particularly effective, - and that electric UFH is much more effective with tiles or slate.

    - i've also heard it's expensive to run. I then read that the expense is largely dependent on how well the place is insulated?

    Anyone (unbiased ) with experience care to comment?

    I have no gas in my flat, so thought that UFH would be a nice heating option to take

    hello
    yes electric UFH is much more effective with tiles, laminate floor is suitable for UFH but it is good heat insulator also,
    if it's possible I would stick with tiles, UFH is cheaper to install, and it's not that expensive to run!!!!
    Good luck with your project!
