UFH and natural stone resin

[ashwell]

Hi, does anyone have any advice on fitting a natural stone resin bath and shower trays over wet UFH. I have been advised that the bath could be in danger or cracking if the UFH runs above 35 degrees but this is probably not going to be the temperature needed to keep the house warm as it is the only heating source. We will be having tiles on the floor. Any advice would really help out, thanks.

I'm confused. Is the UFH already down in an area you want to turn into a bathroom?

Surely a bath or shower tray would need to be capable of withstanding temperatures higher than 35 degrees!
We do a lot of UFH with many different floor types, as a rule the floor temperature we look to achieve is around 27 degrees. I've never heard of it causing damage to bathroom fittings. If planned correctly you wouldn't run under the bath/shower though.

It is a new build with UFH which has already been put throughout the first floor. I thought it was ridiculous that natural stone resin can't be put on top of UFH but I have now seen this on various websites, including clearwater baths.

It's not advisable to run heating loops under fixtures and fittings probably won't do any damage on a wet system, but can cause hot spots on electric ufh and burn out , supply temperatures usually 40°c ish floor surface temperatures shouldn't be above 27 ° c with a room temperature of 20 -21°c.

Thanks for the information, that makes more sense
