Brockway Orion Twist and Cloud 9 Connoisseur 8: combined TOG for underfloor heating
The combined TOG for Brockway Orion Twist over Cloud 9 Connoisseur 8, worked against the UHMA underfloor heating rule.
Combined against the UHMA 2.5 TOG underfloor-heating limit. Under 1.5 also suits a low-temperature heat pump.
| Carpet | Brockway Orion Twist (1.61 TOG) |
|---|---|
| Underlay | Cloud 9 Connoisseur 8 (2.3 TOG) |
| Published sum | 3.91 TOG |
| UHMA in-situ correction | minus 1 TOG |
| Combined in-situ TOG | 2.91 TOG |
| Standard UFH limit | 2.5 TOG |
| Heat pump target | under 1.5 TOG |
Brockway Orion Twist is rated 1.61 TOG and Cloud 9 Connoisseur 8 is rated 2.3 TOG. Laid together the combination is what the underfloor heating has to warm through.
The published TOG figures add to 3.91, and even after the UHMA 1 TOG in-situ correction the pair sits at 2.91 TOG, 0.41 TOG over the limit. The carpet is fine; the underlay is doing the damage. Keep Brockway Orion Twist and drop to a low-TOG underlay such as Duralay Heatflow for Carpet (0.75 TOG) or Duralay Technics 5 (0.56 TOG), which brings the combined figure back into range.
