Workerbee Posted 18 hours ago Posted 18 hours ago (edited) Hello! My floating floor research continues...I'd posted previously about options for wetroom and kitchen flooring and got some useful feedback. I've now got three options. It's an all-electric bungalow; bathroom is about 3.5sqm and kitchen about 20sqm. Old floor: concrete slab, then 50mm polystyrene, and 22mm t&g chipboard on top. I'm keeping the concrete slab. I'll add electric heating mats as a secondary heat to take the chill off the stone tiles. Option 1: 50mm PIR then 22mm chipboard. Basically, what was already there. Not sure about chipboard in a wetroom - would I have to cover it with 6mm tile backer board, which will add to the height? Option 2: Phenolic foam and gypdeck 18 gypsum fibre board. The best insulation (equivalent to 70mm PIR) but very expensive Option 3: 50mm PIR then a low profile wet system like this instead of boards: https://www.elementshop.co.uk/profix-plus-panel-low-profile-system-20mm-depth-14-17mm-pipe?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=17190333812&gbraid=0AAAAAoLtzP8iYrR1bZmw5I1Nv6dekc2Bc&gclid=Cj0KCQiAoZDJBhC0ARIsAERP-F_Hahv5xh4NmuS9ME_vn1_shoXRaCY0TsHN_pwsQQTPzPKcmpZu_QkaAnxFEALw_wcB Together with electric ufh, this would futureproof me if I ever got a heat pump. Would this also give me some thermal mass if I heated the electric ufh on overnight offpeak? Are there any better options? Thanks! Edited 18 hours ago by Workerbee forgot to add third picture
