Going to visit a property with underfloor heating thats currentlt under ceramics throughout the ground floor. Finding out if its electric or wet system etc. Has anyone got any horror stories about latexing over the current ceramics and installing lvt. I.e did the customer notice a major drop in heat transferred the additional layers. I've only heard of bad installations due to fitter fault etc but never had much info regarding the transferred heat. Obvious thing would be to uplift ceramics and carry out the subfloor prep etc but they want to minimise works and timescale. Just want to hear some thoughts really.
I've went over many with no issues I always use usin 280 primer sticks to ceramic like poo to a blanket If you uplift your always risking damaging the UFH which is very likely Heat still comes through fine obviously the system will work a little harder but it costs a fortune to run anyway
Should be fine. Only problem I can think is if they blast it too high and it’s goes over 27 degree. Depends on the system. Some of them are crap and you can’t feel the heat and some of them have raging hot spots lol
Heat transfer will be a lot of work going through ceramics and than 10mm is of screed etc, like merit says as long as the client doesn’t ramp up the temps to an excessive amount should be ok
The heating has done all the hardwork to make its way through the ceramic, 3mm latex and 2.5mm of lvt should be a doddle as I'm trying to explain. They do like to thump up the heating this time of year tho
