James94 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 @Post and beam When we did ours we put it in a flexible duct cut out enough pir so it finished level with top of pir and then UFH on top, hope this helps. Scezy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I used 25mm PVC conduit with swept bends. The ends are accessible under the island and under the consumer unit. I installed 10mm twin and earth. Way over kill for a couple of sockets but it can be used in future should we decide to change for an induction hob. If I really needed to I could pull something else through thanks to the swept bends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan F Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 We use a 63mm duct cut into EPS below the concrete, then coming up under the island and under the consumer unit. Has a large supply for the induction hob, another supply for sockets and additional room for a lighting run etc if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyT Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 The UFH will have a thermal effect on the cabling, so allow for this in calculations, a conduit/kopex/ duct makes it easy to pull cables in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
