I've covered the pipe to see if this helps but also to make sure condensation comes from kitchen. To my surprise the foil is completely dry on outer side but wet on inner. Does the condensation come from the ground? Or is this some dpc issue? Shall I just cover it like this?

My worry is that when I close it with cabinet on top the condensation may cause mould.

New floor and everything rerouted to allow for more space and different kitchen cabinet layout but I spotted that the mdpe pipe is wet (just below the paper towels). I did a few observations and after sticking lots of towels into the hole I think it's just condensation. What's the best way to prevent it? Covering with kitchen cabinets will probably reduce it but shall I put some close cell foam into the hole?

Which one shall I go for? FM310 or FM330?

e.g illbruck? That was the plan but i wasn't sure if it will not let moisture/damp transfer up to the wall.

It's open kitchen with concrete floor (late 80s house so none or every little insulation). Tiles on one side and engineered floor (glued) on. the other. Floor on the picture is temporary .

What's the best way to insulate these gaps? We put insulated plasterboard on the walls so don't want to loose the whole benefit of the insulation through these gaps. This particular place will be covered with skirting but it's the same behind kitchen cabinets and no plan for skirting there at the moment (we used to have fridge-like temperature in winter in corner cabinet before renovation).

Do you know if I can buy any probe? Eg JG from Screwfix? If I need to buy schluter probes it will cost me £40 for two. I want to go through manuals of different thermostats and see which one suits me first.

It's all quite confusing if someone doesn't have experience. I was hoping to just run the cable, tile and think about the rest later on. However, I've just realised no thermostat means not temperature probe. Given what I've read I may run two probes but need to get it asap. Can I use any ufh temperature probe with Ditra heat cable? e.g. I can get JG sensor probe from screwfix, then I may go with Warmup thermostat if it's better than schluter.

I've found the cold cable! Is it possible it's 3-4m long for a 12.07m version?

I bought ditra heat duo and their cable, no thermostat yet. I may have not done enough research but I was expecting a short section of unheated cable to deal run it under fixings. Any issue with running 60-80cm of cable under cabinets?

Insulation level is low, standard late 80s build. That's the reason the radiator stays and the ufh will be warming up the tiles rather than heating the room. Any recommendations for cables, uncoupling mat, thermostat?

I'm tiling kitchen and am expecting the floor to be colder in winter than it it's with LVT, so I want to put around 1.5-2m2 of electric ufh with an output of roughly 150W total. The idea is that it will be nicer to walk on warm tile but the kitchen will keep its radiator as the main source. Firstly, lots of different systems and I like ditra heat mat as it give a (very) little bit of insulation. Next I can get ditra heat cable but do I need thermostat from ditra too or is everything so simple in design that I can put a Mapei heat cable into ditra mat and link it with prowarm thermostat? Given I'm heating tiles not the room how radiant the heat from the cable is? Can I cover 4sqm of kitchen with a 150W cable (normally intended for 1-1.5sqm) and still expect nicely warm floor?

But how to safely cap the pipe?

My worry is how big the hole needs to be and how much screed will go over it
