The guy fitting the kitchen underfloor heating recommended an underlay whic h is specially made to allow the heat through fast and has apparently large holes in. Can't find it anywhere. Loads of underlays that state 'suitable for underfloor heating' etc. but they don't have these holes.
Anyone one know where I can get such 'holy' underlay?
why do you need an underlay?
This has holes, though not large ones, and was specifically recommended to me for laminate over UFH.

Dunno, but one place I went had this strange smell of burned plastic, oh its the underfloor heating and the new floor covering they said. Yuck. Brian
The recommended underlay for wooden flooring with Underfloor heating is
3mm closed cell foam underlay, which has little reduction on thermal transfer, but provides a cushioning effect ? and deadens the otherwise slapping of the wood.I used 3mm underlay ( I have UFH on both floors) if you want details of the one I used let me know.
Hi Rick, mine will be UFH on a new concrete floor. Yes, could you please post details? Thanks
I used a laminate with underlay attached on the last room I worked on, it says it is suitable for ufh. Made by Forester, sold in Costco. Very nice quality too.
