Thanks for the reply John. The insulation is actually below the floorslab so unable to staple on. This is the difficulty in finding a cost effective solution. Dont know too much about weather compensation though? How do I work out the minimum flow?

Hi, I have been reading the forum for a few days and looking for some advice. I am installing UFH in a new build along with an ASHP. The UFH will be laid on top a a 175mm floor slab with 150mm insulation underneath this. I am proposing to use a warmup nexxa system with the panels and have received a quote from them for supply or around £3.8k for an area of around 145m2. This includes everything I would need as below. FYI panels to be used as I don’t know a better way to install as it is directly on the floorslab. Looking for advice on the following. Is this a reasonable quote, what other manufacturers should I look for, warmup came recommended? How many zones should I have? Currently have 4 stats spec’d. I have 1 big open plan kitchen/living/dining and 3 other rooms tv/study/lounge outwith this and then the hall/wc and utility. I know for certain the lounge won’t be occupied that often. Should I look to reduce the number, have seen numerous threads people recommending to use just 1 for the floor but don’t want to heat a room that doesn’t need heated? Because the Insulation is below the floorslab what are the pros and cons. I know the slab will act as a thermal store but how will the response times be and should the UFH be set to a temp and be on all day? Any other advice and tips would be greatly appreciated.
