| Carpet | Brockway Portofino (1.47 TOG) |
|---|---|
| Underlay | Tredaire Colours Green (1.47 TOG) |
| Published sum | 2.94 TOG |
| UHMA in-situ correction | minus 1 TOG |
| Combined in-situ TOG | 1.94 TOG |
| Standard UFH limit | 2.5 TOG |
| Heat pump target | under 1.5 TOG |
Brockway Portofino is rated 1.47 TOG and Tredaire Colours Green is rated 1.47 TOG. Laid together the combination is what the underfloor heating has to warm through.
The published TOG figures add to 2.94. The UHMA rule subtracts 1 TOG because tests showed real in-situ resistance runs about a TOG below the paper sum, giving 1.94 TOG. On a heat pump running low flow temperatures the floor has less heat to push, so aim under 1.5 TOG and prefer the thinnest underlay in this range.
