DIY UFH installation guide

[Simon C]

Hi, I’m hoping for a bit of guidance please!

 

I am considering installing a new ufh system myself in my own extension project,  and wondered if there was a post about it on here somewhere already? Or would anyone be able to direct me to a good, easy to follow guide about it for a fairly competent DIYer?

 

I’m a carpenter/joiner, so not a plumber, but know my way around a building site.

 

My old Victorian house has never had gas or boiler, only electric heating, so now the extension is underway, there will be a brand new plumbing system throughout, so no need to consider any existing plumbing/fittings, if that helps explain at all.

 

Thanks in advance!

As you are not using natural gas, have you thought of Air to Air Heat Pumps?

 

Regardless of what system is used, plenty of floor insulation will help, best to get it done early as it is hard to add it into a slab later.
