Evening all,
I’m currently in the process of refurbing my house, and have opted to wet UFH for the whole of the downstairs.
The upstairs will be radiators.
The flooring I’ve chosen is 14mm thick engineered wood and I just wanted to know the best way to do things.
At current, the builder was going to use 20mm thick grooved panels for 16mm pipes, laid directly on the existing floorboards and existing concrete where the extension is.
His idea was to float the floor, but this doesn’t feel right under foot to me, and I’d prefer it to be glued.
Would we then screed directly on top of this with a 50mm layer, and when dry, glue the wood directly to this?
Would we need to lay a polythene sheet first, and then the panels, and then screed, in order to stop the screed pouring into the existing gaps?
Thanks in advance
