Have you also woke up in the morning and realied that the floor is freezing?

There is a physical law that heat travels from hot areas to cooler areas. I heard that up to 20% of heat loss occurs through the floor and by insulating and blocking draughts you will save 350kg of CO2 a year. Here in Bulgaria we can use [url=http:

fibran.
bg/eng/eco.
htm:10grpkyg]Fibran[/url:10grpkyg] for insulating:

Quote :

In accordance with the latest EU-regulations FIBRAN uses agents / gases that have no harmful effects on the UV-protective layer of stratospheric ozone (ODP=0) and only a marginal contribution to the "
greenhouse effect"
(low GWP) without perceptible depreciation of the thermal insulating properties of the product.

Do you have anymore information about the product and maybe a link to the company that makes it.

I remember years ago we lived in a flat and the ceiling had polystyrene tiles,i later found out they are very flammable,i just wondered if this fibran which seems to be the same type of material,is flammable,anyone know?

Another point Milke We had to have a new concrete floor when we added the extension and we put in some green insulation (maybe fibron) under the concrete. nad a plastic sheet that helps too I am sure. My friend put his on top of his concrete then the laminate flooring, the mice loved it???? dug tunnels everywhere.
On another note I would be interested to hear of anyone with experience of underfloor heating in BG? I think that will be in our next and hopefully last house to build in a few years time.

A friend of mine has bought some land in Kanobat,hes having underfoor heating fitted run on Solar if you want i can ask him for some information for you,he has said its not very expensive,but i think he has to have a small shed sort of thing built also for the batteries



Mike

Hi Guys we have under floor heating upstairs and its very good apart from that I don't really know what else I can say, it was already in the house when we brought it

What runs yours is it expensive to run

Mike

Hi Mike it runs on Electricity as for cost I can,t remeber? but as I can,t remeber I would say it was reasonable otherwise I think I would remember hope that makes sense

Thats a mouthful Netsniper but yes i understand,thanks

Think that info. would be good for a lot of people, probably could switch it from solar to grid power and have the choice?
Look forward to reading any gen you can dig up.

Does anyone know whats involved in have under floor heating installed I assume its a messy job and also that the floors have to be dug up [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I would imagine that the floor would have to be lifted as I see it they run a series of pipes below the concrete

Good old Wikipedia...... this is an overall view of the different systems
