Cormar Trilogy Bronte and Duralay Technics 5: combined TOG for underfloor heating

The combined TOG for Cormar Trilogy Bronte 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.

Combined in-situ TOG is 0.96, under the 2.5 TOG limit, so Cormar Trilogy Bronte with Duralay Technics 5 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 Trilogy Bronte is rated 1.4 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 1.96. The UHMA rule subtracts 1 TOG because tests showed real in-situ resistance runs about a TOG below the paper sum, giving 0.96 TOG. That clears both the standard limit and the tighter heat-pump target.
