The Duralay Heatflow Underlay is designed for homeowners with underfloor heating systems seeking to maximize heat efficiency and comfort. Its key benefit is enhanced thermal conductivity, allowing more heat to pass into the room, potentially reducing heating bills. A caveat is that it is specifically designed for use with underfloor heating and may not offer the same benefits as standard underlays for other applications.

A 'tog' rating is a measure of thermal resistance. A lower tog rating means less resistance to heat transfer, which is ideal for underfloor heating systems. Duralay Heatflow underlays have low tog ratings to allow heat to pass through efficiently.
While it can be used, it's not optimized for standard installations. Its primary benefit is related to heat conductivity, and standard underlays might offer better cushioning or longevity for non-heated floors.
By allowing heat from your underfloor system to transfer more effectively into the room, it requires less energy to reach and maintain a comfortable temperature, potentially leading to lower energy consumption.
Generally, underlays and flooring with a combined tog rating of 1.5 or lower are recommended for underfloor heating. Always consult your underfloor heating manufacturer's specific recommendations.
Duralay Heatflow underlay is designed for use beneath carpet. Compatibility with other flooring types like LVT or laminate would require specific product variants or manufacturer confirmation.
Thickness can vary depending on the specific Duralay Heatflow product variant. Refer to the product's technical specifications for precise measurements.
Verify the Heatflow underlay is correctly installed with no gaps or overlaps. Ensure the combined tog rating of the underlay and flooring meets the underfloor heating system's requirements. Check the underfloor heating system itself for any faults.
Check for any compressed areas of the underlay or flooring. Ensure the underfloor heating system has uniform coverage. The underlay should be installed evenly across the entire area.
While Heatflow prioritizes heat transfer, ensure the carpet itself provides adequate comfort. Proper installation without excessive stretching can also impact feel.
Setup: Ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and level before installation. Lay the Heatflow underlay with the printed side up, ensuring there are no overlaps. Cut to size using a sharp knife. Install your chosen carpet or flooring directly on top of the underlay according to the flooring manufacturer's instructions.
Compatibility: Duralay Heatflow underlay is specifically designed for use with underfloor heating systems (both electric and water-based). Always check the manufacturer's guidelines for your specific underfloor heating system and flooring type to ensure compatibility. The combined tog rating of the underlay and flooring should not exceed the maximum recommended by the underfloor heating manufacturer.
Care: Regular vacuuming is recommended. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid excessive moisture. Deep cleaning should be performed by a professional carpet cleaner experienced with underlay installations.
