[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 124843, member: 6969"] I would say stick with the wet UFH if you want to bury extra things in the floor. Wet UFH has pipes spaced at typically 200mm apart, and then some form of heat spreader plate or sand/cement screed to dissipate the heat. If building in extra things like up lighters in the floor, you can fit the cabling early in the first fix at the same time as the plumber lays the pipes. Then between you you can agree how to fit the lights and pipes in together maintaining a decent separation. The trouble with electric UFH is the heating mat covers just about the whole floor, so creating a void in which to fit the lights might not be so easy. Whatever you do it needs careful consideration from a very early stage. Don't forget to route all the cables to some accessible point for the transformers. [/QUOTE]
