Hi. Underfloor heating circuits terminates in manifold which has adjustable thermostatic mixer preventing floor overheating. Manifold £300+ 15 or 16mm plastic pipe (depends of manifold manufacturer) every 200-300mm makes 3-4m of pipe for every 1m² of room. Don't forget about decent (min 100mm) floor insulation on ground floor, otherwise you will be wasting loads of money. There's plenty of instructions for ufh on the internet. Robert
