Cormar Fairisle and Tredaire King (Duralay King): combined TOG for underfloor heating

The combined TOG for Cormar Fairisle over Tredaire King (Duralay King), 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.

Combined in-situ TOG is 1.3, under the 2.5 TOG limit, so Cormar Fairisle with Tredaire King (Duralay King) is suitable for a standard underfloor heating system. It is also under 1.5 TOG, so it suits a low-temperature heat pump run.

Cormar Fairisle is rated 1.5 TOG and Tredaire King (Duralay King) is rated 0.8 TOG. Laid together the combination is what the underfloor heating has to warm through.

The published TOG figures add to 2.3. The UHMA rule subtracts 1 TOG because tests showed real in-situ resistance runs about a TOG below the paper sum, giving 1.3 TOG. That clears both the standard limit and the tighter heat-pump target.
