[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 504820, member: 6969"] Forget UFH of ANY sort in this building unless you are prepared to do the job properly. There will be no insulation whatsoever under the floor in a 1973 build, so if you slap UFH there, probably 90% of the heat you put in will be totally wasted heating the ground under the house. UFH works VERY well in a new build, ours is all wet UFH but there is 300mm of insulation under the floor. to do the job properly on an old house you need to be digging up the floor, excavating to add a similar amount of insulation and re laying the floor.
