Hi everyone, we have a 1920s house with solid brick walls. The small front carpeted lounge (1.9 combined tog of underlay/carpet) with its own UFH circuit is struggling to get to 20 degrees. The UFH pipes run under about 5m of LVT to get to the front lounge.
My question is, can I boost the flow to the lounge to increase the temperature to above a floor temperature of 27 degrees or will that permanently damage the LVT directly above the circuit pipe running under the LVT to the carpeted lounge?
Does anyone have any experience with a client who has run their UFH above the recommended LVT floor maximum temperature of 27 degrees with no negative effects on the LVT? I’m aware manufacturers mostly build in a safety margin, so can that 27 degree boundary be pushed at all?
When it does get too high does it affect the glue and cause it to debond, or does it damage/discolour/shrink the LVT?
Many thanks for your advice.
