Another London ground floor, this time using foil-faced panels. The foil spreads heat sideways from the pipe, giving an even surface temperature from a very thin build-up.
The system
- Floor system: 20mm foil-faced XPS underfloor heating panels
- Pipe: 16mm MLCP (multilayer composite) pipe (UFH pipe)
- Controls: Wireless Heatmiser app-controlled thermostats (wireless thermostats)
Foil-faced or cement-faced?
Foil-faced panels are light and quick to lay, and the foil helps heat spread. They need a suitable layer over the top before most floor finishes. Cement-faced boards cost a little more, but tiles can go straight on. Both suit renovations and new builds where height is limited.
