Cormar Primo Tweeds and Tredaire King (Duralay King): combined TOG for underfloor heating
The combined TOG for Cormar Primo Tweeds 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.
| Carpet | Cormar Primo Tweeds (1.2 TOG) |
|---|---|
| Underlay | Tredaire King (Duralay King) (0.8 TOG) |
| Published sum | 2 TOG |
| UHMA in-situ correction | minus 1 TOG |
| Combined in-situ TOG | 1 TOG |
| Standard UFH limit | 2.5 TOG |
| Heat pump target | under 1.5 TOG |
Cormar Primo Tweeds is rated 1.2 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. The UHMA rule subtracts 1 TOG because tests showed real in-situ resistance runs about a TOG below the paper sum, giving 1 TOG. That clears both the standard limit and the tighter heat-pump target.
