Brockway Portofino and Tredaire Softwalk: combined TOG for underfloor heating
The combined TOG for Brockway Portofino over Tredaire Softwalk, 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 Portofino (1.47 TOG) |
|---|---|
| Underlay | Tredaire Softwalk (2.69 TOG) |
| Published sum | 4.16 TOG |
| UHMA in-situ correction | minus 1 TOG |
| Combined in-situ TOG | 3.16 TOG |
| Standard UFH limit | 2.5 TOG |
| Heat pump target | under 1.5 TOG |
Brockway Portofino is rated 1.47 TOG and Tredaire Softwalk is rated 2.69 TOG. Laid together the combination is what the underfloor heating has to warm through.
The published TOG figures add to 4.16, and even after the UHMA 1 TOG in-situ correction the pair sits at 3.16 TOG, 0.66 TOG over the limit. The carpet is fine; the underlay is doing the damage. Keep Brockway Portofino 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.
