Hello everyone,
like many of you, we are currently in the planning phase of our house building project.
After numerous discussions with different builders, we still don’t know which method is best for installing underfloor heating. Some prefer the wet installation method, while others swear by the dry installation method. For example, which option offers better thermal conductivity? What are your experiences? We want to install vinyl flooring and can’t understand why wet installation with bonding the vinyl surface should be disadvantageous...
Best regards, Tu Hus

Nordanney seems to be doing amateur construction supervision in the neighborhood. Oh yes, we’ve offered coffee, water, and sandwiches to so many already.
It really helps to build a good rapport with the neighbors who are working (we are working too, but only part-time or from the home office) and, of course, with the different tradespeople – you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours.
Thank you all for your responses. I believe there is a clear tendency. Still, I wonder how the sales consultant can promote drywall construction as the only proper method for installing underfloor heating. It seems to be based on the idea that everything else is substandard...
