As part of our internal house renovations, we had underfloor heating installed across the whole of the downstairs. This is the method our builders used and it has been extremely effective. This has enabled us to easily keep the downstairs at a constant temperature throughout the year and has actually reduced our heating bill.

The insulation is held in place with battens and a reasonable layer of screed is placed on top over the insulation and underfloor heating pipe. At the time, I trusted the builders with their method, but do think a vapour barrier would have been a good idea between the floor joists and the engineered wood floor laid on top. What do you think? What would you have done differently? Karen
