Engineered oak floor problems

UFH generally runs around 25 degrees and gives a fairly even floor temperature.

electric heating mats can result in much higher hot spots if a towel or something is left on the floor 

The minimum setting on my TMV for the manifold is 25° with max being 55° I believe. Assuming the FFL surface temp would be between 10-15° lower then the water in the UFH pipe I guess at a final set point of 40° but that's a guess.

Hi all, sorry for the delayed response its been a busy few weeks. 

 

It worked anyway. I scraped the excess hardwood back with a fresh Stanley blade until the delamination would push down without resistance. Then I got a pic under the delamination to lift it just high enough to fit a 14 gauge blunt needle under and filled the cavity with cascamite. 

 

I then pushed it down wiped off the excess with a damp ragand weighed it down with a piece of damp first layer, then a 2"x2" tile with four 7n blocks on top for 24 hours.

 

To finish it I'll rub a small amount of adheasive (same colour as the floor) into the slight gap but it's hardly noticeable then rub it down with a damp cloth.

 

Worked a dream. 

 

Thanks all for your input.
