Hello,
I have been asked to install 450x450mm porcelain and electric UFH on a wooden bathroom floor.
In order to minimise any increase in the finished floor level I'm intending to remove the existing chipboard flooring and relay using 25mm WBP ply and then lay the UFH and tiles straight on top.
Having looked at a number of UFH manufacturer websites they all seem to recommend using an insulating board under the UFH element.
Has anyone tried insulating between the joists under the flooring board?
I was wondering if fixing something like 50mm Celotex between the joists would improve the efficiency of the UFH similar to fully boarding the floor.
I would fix battens to the joists so the Celotex sits level with the top of the joists to still allow air circulation beneath the floor.
