Hi all,
New member here but am getting a new house soon (persimmon new build) and from the get go decided that underfloor heating was the way to go and have been quoted for the lot including a clip rail system, screening and insulation.
Obviously the house builder will put in their own concrete slab which I'm sure will have insulation within it to meet building regs but would we need further insulation above the concrete slab but below the pipes?
This is currently a price difference of around £1200.
Also we are going for carpet in some rooms but mainly tiles for the bulk of it. Are we restricted with ceramic or would porcelain work?
Lastly, would we need a decoupling membrane on top of the screed that is above the pipes but below the tiles?
Thanks in advance,
Andy
