Brockway Rare Breeds Loop is a 100% undyed wool loop with a published TOG value of 1.57. Rare Breeds Loop is a 100% undyed wool loop pile rated 1.57 TOG. The loop structure gives a textured, hard-wearing feel and needs a low-TOG underlay over underfloor heating.

Using the UHMA rule, in-situ resistance is carpet plus underlay minus 1. To keep Brockway Rare Breeds Loop under the 2.5 TOG limit the underlay must be no more than 1.93 TOG.

TOG measures thermal resistance, so a low number means heat passes through easily. For a floor covering over underfloor heating that is what you want. A comfort underlay chosen for warmth underfoot does the opposite job and is the usual reason a heated floor underperforms after a carpet goes down.
