Cormar Malabar Two Fold and Duralay Durafit 650: combined TOG for underfloor heating

The combined TOG for Cormar Malabar Two Fold over Duralay Durafit 650, 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 Malabar Two Fold with Duralay Durafit 650 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 Malabar Two Fold is rated 1.2 TOG and Duralay Durafit 650 is rated 1.1 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.
