I'm having a conservatory built soon. I'm considering installing underfloor heating in there (15 sq metres and a laminate wood floor)
I've had one quote from Comfort Heat
Does anyone have experience/thoughts of such systems ?
TIA
A conservatory should not have heating inside, otherwise building control/planning is involved.

I thought it was OK as long as it is independantly controlled (e.g. TRV)?
That was my understanding - independantly controlled. I heard rumours that some BCO's don't like CH going to a conservatory, but it's such a minor point (esp. if you leave it easy to disconnect (and reconnect when they're gone) I wouldn't lose any sleep over it...
It's also a requirement AFAIK to have a door between the consvervatory and teh house but I seen that gratuitously ignored (it's pending fitment in the near future, honest).

Just be warned that most suppliers don't tell you that UFH probably won't supply enough heat for a conservatory. UFH provides about
100 W/sq m, so in your case about 1500W. I don't know if you've done any heatloss calculations but it's quite possible that your conservatory will require more than 1500W on cold days.Have something to add? Share your thoughts — no account required.
