Hi there, ufh is being installed on the ground floor of a new build highly insulated dormer house, 120m2 on ground floor plus 90m2 on first floor.
The design flow temp will be 40 deg C and I'm thinking of using radiators sized for 40C on the first floor,
Should I consider underfloor heating...
Hi,
Any help or opinions appreciated on this topic.
Summary - last year bought a 90’s build house that had a wet UFH heating system designed and fitted to downstairs by NU-Heat.

Hi,
Not long in a new build house and getting to grips with the heating and everything else.
We've a Nibe F4020 heat pump, UFH for downstairs heating and rads/towel rails for upstairs.
The upstairs is on a single zone with a thermostat on the landing (makes no sense to me, but whatever.)

Hi all. Hope all is well and safe.
I need your advice please. I have a Valliant boiler serving the CH and DHW (megaflo). Just recently, we’ve had underfloor heating installed.
Before the UFH was installed, the boiler flow temp was set at 65C (it could be adjusted to 75C) using the -/+ buttons...
Good Evening,
We live in an old stone farmhouse which we are steadily 'improving' as the years go by.
The heating is provided by a CTC GSi 12 GSHP feeding UFH in the kitchen and Dining Room and radiators elsewhere.
The time is fast approaching when the bathroom is due a workover. In common...
Hi folks.
Sorry this is a long one. I'll try and keep it organised.

Hi,
Hoping someone can comment on whether what I see happening at my UFH manifold is OK, or whether there is cause for concern. I'm not an expert on underfloor heating, Our system was fitted about 10 years ago and has worked flawlessly with zero issues all this time.
As you can hopefully see...
Hi all. I have a Polypipe UFH manifold with flow meters for each circuit. I’ve worked out the pipe length and know what flow rate to achieve BUT the flow meters do not have any scale. All I have is min (top) and max (bottom) and nothing in between! The Polypipe product code is PB129FM for the...
Hi, I’m hoping someone can help – I need a bit of advice / help as I'm not sure if the recent cold spell is too much for the UFH in the main living space (it's a barn conversion so 25ft high vaulted area) and I've checked all I can think of. It's 15 degrees despite all looking to be OK to me...
Hi. First time poster here. My UFH doesn't heat up like it used to. I've isolated the issue (I think). It seems that whenever there is a call for UFH heat, the boiler fires up (like it used to), the actuator hums and opens up, the pump on the UFH manifold starts to run and the various valves on...
I'm in the process of designing heating for a new property. Downstairs there will be a radiator in the lounge, utility room, toilet and the garage. Upstairs there will be radiators in 4 rooms and 2 bathrooms. Bathrooms upstairs will also have dry ufh and toilet and utility room downstairs will...
