To achieve total heating in conservatories a cable in screed system is the most practical solution with the cable buried up to 50mm below the subfloor surface and then it is only possible if the heat loss can be replaced and you have planned your floor levels accordingly: each installation is different. Thermfloor offer a design service for total heat requirements as the concept differs from comfort heating – simply call 0845 644 3632. Internal rooms with good quality ‘u’ values can achieve total heat with ThermFloor systems in the right circumstances. Some new apartments built to the latest building regulations are achieving total heat by installing less than 120 w/m.
