Which ufh system?

[G and J]

I do solemnly swear I am a numpty.  The evidence I justify this conclusion with is that I’m certain that the information I seek is already in the forums on here, but I’m buggered if I can find it.  Sorry.  

 

At some unknown time in the future we will have sold our house and will therefore have the funds to carry on with our build.  One of the first things will be the ground floor insulation/DPM/UFH/screed.

 

The bit I’m currently trying to understand is the UFH.  

 

The plumbing will be Hep2O.

 

The heating will be courtesy of an ASHP, single zone, WC based for both low flow temp (32 degrees maybe) heating and a modicum of cooling above dew point.

 

Our ground floor is about 88m2.

 

Our screed will be circa 100mm.

 

The Wavin UFH stuff is different from the Hep2O stuff so I may as well make an independent decision re which UFH system to use.

 

Gotta be neat and tidy, my OCD demands it so.  

 

Gotta work well, and in truth I don’t really know what that means, I’ve only ever installed high temp (gas or oil boiler) rad based heating systems.

 

 

So which systems should I look at or are they all pretty similar?

Plenty of systems out there most are pretty much the same with a different label.

 

16mm Pert-al-Pert pipes for every loop.

 

Single zone Don't waste any money on any self balancing stuff - not needed.

 

I use Ivar manifold - zero issues.

 

Got everything from outsourced energy, put plenty of suppliers.

 

You need pipe

Manifolds, ideally get a manifold with auto bleed bottle on the top of the manifold not on the end, as this isn't at a high point.

Manifold isolation valves.

16mm euro cones for each end of the loop pipe.
