Thank you all for your responses. The house was originally a 1960’s chalet bungalow which has been renovated to a full two storey house (4 bedrooms). Taking up the original floor wasn’t an option sadly, hence the need to add some sort of insulation. I have explored various UFH systems which involved using a layer of SuperFoil as a base layer. To me this wouldn’t do the job. The house will be insulated fully on existing ground floor walls (internally) using kingspan kooltherm k118 plaster board insulation. The upstairs will be insulated with kooltherm 103 I think. I have seen installation videos for the Optim-R where the boards are placed directly to the concrete floor with foam adhesive and then covered using composite board (also with adhesive). I am building undergoing the renovation with my builder (father) so trust for installation wouldn’t be an issue. The Omnie insulation panels have been suggested by a number of companies as a viable option. They say the board design reflects the heat effectively on non insulated sub floors? I have had little joy searching other threads to find any examples of the Omnie insulated version having been used and how effective it actually is in the real world.

Hello, I am currently undergoing a renovation where I am considering installing the Omnie Lowboard 2 insulate system. Does anyone have any experience using this system without insulation in the sub floor? I am concerned that even with this system, the heat will be lost to the floor. Alternatively, I am considering insulating the floor instead with Kingspan Optim-R 40mm. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
