I am in the process of building a timber building in the garden and am looking into electric UFH instead of an electric heater. For context, the building is a suspended timber frame on 16 individual concrete blocks. I currently have 100mm Celotex insulation between joists and have placed 11mm OSB3 on top to give me my flat floor. I then plan to use laminate flooring on top. What are my best options here… 1 - do/can I lift up the OSB and place the UFH directly on the celotex insulation and screed over? 2 - do I install on top of the OSB and then screed? 3 - do I need to add another insulation board on top of the OSB and then the UFH with screed? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Regards, Dan

Hi all, prob a question for @ProDave I guess but then Q a few of you prob know the answer to this query. Just putting 1st fix in - alternating between soil pipe & electrics to minimise boredom. Tonight I've started putting back boxes in for electric UFH. I'm working on the following principles: 1. Spur taken from ring main into double pole fused spur 2. Fused spur to thermostat and then onto the electric UFH. Matt is rated at 300watts total. In the same bathroom 'we' also 'need' an electric heating element in the towel rad (also plumbed into the wet system) for the summer months - so my query is - can I run the control unit for the towel rad from the same double pole fused spur as the electric UFH? This would minimise the 'clutter' I have on the walls. Combined, both would be ~ 600w Any thoughts? CC
