Anyone insulate retro-fit underfloor heating before? LVT or tiles?

Hello Houzzers!


I'm doing a major refurb to a house and planning to put in wet UFH throughout the ground floor. However, because the floor is concrete base, it looks like our only option is to retro-fit. Has anyone retro-fit, and how do you find it? Would you recommend? I have ceiling height of 2.5m, and none of the builders seems to have mentioned that we should insulate, but that's what I've been reading. Any advise welcome on this?


Secondly, which flooring should I go for on UFH? I know tiles are meant to be better at keeping heat, etc, but worried about cold feet when it's not on. Has anyone had LVT on UFH and is happy with it?


Thank you!

    Hi. We have got quotes from them and will most likely go with them but they don't mention insulation under the mat. Did you put insulation in on your job?

    Hi retro fit is absolutely fine however there are procedures to check insulation levels that need to be followed. I have had many years experience of using Retro fit ufh system and they can be as low as 20mm. I have also mixed floors from retro to new build Which maximise heated area and especially with new and old for an extension. This is very popular at the moment but it's not an off the shelf pack as many factors need to be assessed in early stages. As a consultant specialising in ufh systems for past 10 years, I have a wealth of experience. It can become a costly problem if systems are not specified correctly. All of our systems have design along with supply, installation and 2yr workmanship warranty. Do have a look at our website www.cklbuildgroup.co.uk and email over your plans to our website. My direct email is karen@cklbuildgroup.co.uk before you make your decisions!
