in-ground vs Overlay - Under floor heating
Discussion
Quite a specific question here - has anyone actually installed/used an in-ground UFH system? One like this where they cut in to your existing concrete floor.
Everything you read says 'don't, there isn't any insulation'. But, I would appreciate opinions from those who have spent their own money - would you do it again?
Context: We had Poly-Pipe overlay installed in the kitchen when our last house was renovated. That was 13 years ago and it worked very well while we lived there. We are now planning a renovation on another house and want to expand the use to the whole ground floor. There's more choice in the overlay sector with very low profile solutions available - approx 1100 sq ft - kitchen-diner, utility, lounge, study, hall & snug.
