Cormar Hampstead Deluxe and Duralay Technics 5: combined TOG for underfloor heating
The combined TOG for Cormar Hampstead Deluxe over Duralay Technics 5, 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 | Cormar Hampstead Deluxe (1.5 TOG) |
|---|---|
| Underlay | Duralay Technics 5 (0.56 TOG) |
| Published sum | 2.06 TOG |
| UHMA in-situ correction | minus 1 TOG |
| Combined in-situ TOG | 1.06 TOG |
| Standard UFH limit | 2.5 TOG |
| Heat pump target | under 1.5 TOG |
Cormar Hampstead Deluxe is rated 1.5 TOG and Duralay Technics 5 is rated 0.56 TOG. Laid together the combination is what the underfloor heating has to warm through.
The published TOG figures add to 2.06. The UHMA rule subtracts 1 TOG because tests showed real in-situ resistance runs about a TOG below the paper sum, giving 1.06 TOG. That clears both the standard limit and the tighter heat-pump target.
