Cormar Zenith and Tredaire Brio: combined TOG for underfloor heating
The combined TOG for Cormar Zenith over Tredaire Brio, 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 Zenith (1.5 TOG) |
|---|---|
| Underlay | Tredaire Brio (2.18 TOG) |
| Published sum | 3.68 TOG |
| UHMA in-situ correction | minus 1 TOG |
| Combined in-situ TOG | 2.68 TOG |
| Standard UFH limit | 2.5 TOG |
| Heat pump target | under 1.5 TOG |
Cormar Zenith is rated 1.5 TOG and Tredaire Brio is rated 2.18 TOG. Laid together the combination is what the underfloor heating has to warm through.
The published TOG figures add to 3.68, and even after the UHMA 1 TOG in-situ correction the pair sits at 2.68 TOG, 0.18 TOG over the limit. The carpet is fine; the underlay is doing the damage. Keep Cormar Zenith and drop to a low-TOG underlay such as Duralay Heatflow for Carpet (0.75 TOG) or Duralay Technics 5 (0.56 TOG), which brings the combined figure back into range.
