Thanks for that. I shall have a look around for stainless. Good info re re-heat times. I shall investigate.

Thanks for all the input so far. I am most definitely not bothering with a wet system for such a small house. I have one in my home and personally I am not a huge fan of the air source system. It is not cheap to run, makes a lot of noise, has a lot of maintenance issues. I have no problem with wet UFH per se, mine is in 60mm of screed and I do know there are some great products put there like Omnie boards which mean that I can reduce build up considerably. Where I am building I have a lack of talented plumbers and IR is definitely my preferred method. I have used it on walls and ceilings before and there are products out there claiming to work well underfloor. I have visited a small home office with it under tiling and was amazed at how warm the floor was. Here are some of the products I have been looking at... https://infraredheatinguk.co.uk/products/underfloor-infrared-heating-film?srsltid=AfmBOoqDTYy_k1oyFWbMfDjZfcJSu764oA8NYTRRI_y2Qoi0sz-kb72C https://termofol.co.uk/product/heating-film-complete-kit-140wm2/ And some "sponsored" information! https://www.theecoexperts.co.uk/infrared-heating/infrared-underfloor-heating

This is my 2nd post here, but this time I was keen to see if anyone has any experience with this system by Rointe... https://rointe.com/uk/water-heaters/dalis-pro-air-source-heat-pump/ I really like the concept at it if it works as it claims then it is perfect for my needs, but is there anything I should know? Any downsides? It will need to be able to run 2 showers at the same time, or fill a bath and will also provide hot water to the kitchen. Thanks for any insight.

Hi all I am starting a new build, a small house, 100m2 across a single floor, using a closed-cell SIPS system including for the floor and have very high levels of insulation. I am keen to get underfloor heating in but don't want the extra height / machinery of a wet system and in the past have found standard electric UFH to be expensive to run. I have used infra red panels as wall and ceiling heaters and love them, both for ease of installation and ongoing running costs, lack of maintenance and zero noise. Having read up on using infra red as an underfloor solution, it seems to be a perfect match for me, but I am yet to talk to anyone who has actually installed or used it. Is there anyone out there with some 1st hand experience who can share their thoughts? Thanks

Hello all. I am embarking on a new build and am experimenting with some new technologies for heating the building and water and keen to see what other people's experiences are of installing and using them. I also have a huge amount of experience, both good and bad, with all sorts of modern methods of construction and mechanical engineering products that I am happy to share. Thanks
