Water UFH Which Ufh System Should I Go For? - Tile Advice

[CastleHill]

Experts
Can you please help me choose the right one I should be going for in your opinion

This is a new home on which I would like to have UFH as the ONLY source of heating
Keen to keep the floor buildup to a minimum

I've selected a few based on what I have spoken to the suppliers
Havent included the costs here as I understand I shouldn't be posting those on a forum
Keen to hear your views

Many Thanks

If it's new build then you will need to factor in the insulation I used 100mm kingspan then used 18mm pipes then 65mm mapei topcem , if it is a slim system overlay you are looking for the only 2 I am familiar with or seen rigs for are the schluter system and trim lines version which it a thin pipe clipped into a plastic tray it is difficult to say which will be best for you as price is always going to be a factor in any descision,
What I will say is I found the piped system I used extremely easy to fit and it connected up to my existing central heating system very easily I bought it through underfloor heating warehouse and they even supplied a CAD diagram for the pipe layout

Out of those, Lo pro will give you the best output per M2.

Thank you. Is it worth the extra cost?
It's close to 4k more than my nearest choice

Further has anyone installed Variotherm UFH system. Any reviews?

Experts, any thoughts please?

You will find most guys on here only have experience on one may be 2 systems which they have done themselves and couldn't possibly give you a really informed choice unless they have been on the relevant training courses for all the ones you have quoted , what is stalling your own decision ?

Thanks Gary

It's Nu Heat or Variotherm
Nu Heat is 4k more

Is it worth the extra expense?

I'm only familiar with radical, polypipe overlay and beko-tec therm. If you're definitely tiling the floor and it's your sole heat source then seriously consider beko-tec therm. It's light years ahead in quality and efficiency. Runs at 30c too rather than 45 to 50c so although it's more expensive, there are efficiency savings to consider...
