Cloud 9 Cirrus TOG rating and underfloor heating

The published TOG and datasheet figures for Cloud 9 Cirrus, and what it means over a heated floor.

1.52.5
2.6TOG
Too warm for UFH

Already 0.1 TOG over the 2.5 TOG limit on its own, before any carpet is added.

PassMarginalFail
Cloud 9 Cirrus is rated 2.6 TOG. That alone is above the 2.5 TOG combined limit for underfloor heating, so it is not suitable over a heated floor with any carpet.

Underfloor heatingNot suitable

Cirrus is a 9 mm PU foam domestic underlay rated 2.6 TOG. Ball & Young mark it as not suitable for underfloor heating, because its resistance alone is over the combined limit.

Because Cloud 9 Cirrus is already 2.6 TOG before any carpet is added, no carpet brings the pair back under the 2.5 TOG limit. Over underfloor heating, swap it for a low-TOG underlay instead.

TOG measures thermal resistance, so a low number means heat passes through easily. For a floor covering over underfloor heating that is what you want. A comfort underlay chosen for warmth underfoot does the opposite job and is the usual reason a heated floor underperforms after a carpet goes down.
