Dear Expert, Thank you for the brilliant explanation. My question is whether we can install new laminate on top of old ceramics while using a wet floor heating system. Could you please guide me on whether this would prevent efficient heating conductivity, increase energy consumption, and how it might affect moisture levels? Additionally, what steps can I take to control these factors? Best regards,

3:00 yeah and 50% of wooden joists with ambient temperatures... british... not so "great" way of building... your way of underfloor "heating" works when heating is on, and it doesnt when heating is off- there is no buffer in 1mm thck or less aluminium plate and the heat is not stored at all. also wooden flooring acts as an insulator forcing users to increase the heating temperature to achieve max 24degC output to avoid swollen feet. do it right ground floor - remove timber, insulate with styroconcrete or leca , or do a proper slab then 150mm of polystyrene and anhydrate pour. insulate foundations all the way to the ground because in your sht example 22mm plank is the only thing that separates you from the cold under the floor especially by the walls
So many things wrong here. Not having a buffer can be advantageous, as it makes the system more responsive. Wood is an okay conductor, and once the heat is at the surface it will rise into the room like it would with any other flooring material. However, a slightly higher flow temperature may be required to bring the surface temperature up to, say, 27C.

Can I build this installation in only 13cm hight?
Can you put 22mm t&g chipboard flooring over this?
Yes indeed
1:31 What kind of knife?
Stanley knife, it's a UK thing. Americans call it a box cutter.
That's a great process but unfortunately we don't have it in Pakistan

You didn't watch the video then. Quote "insulation should be installed under the spreader plates"
