Thanks @Canski.  Did you install wet UFH with the posis?  If not, do you have no heating on that floor, or rads / elec mats? 

 

Good point on the U values too.  Something for me to bear in mind as the design fleshes out and I get SAP calcs done.

 

I have spans of ~6m so solid timber is a no go, I assume.

 

No we went with Rads for the first floor with heated towel rails in the bathrooms that either run from the heat pump or electrically on a timer. I looked at spreader places for UFH and decided against it due to cost. Pozi joists are ok at 6m but you may need a steel beam in the middle.
