For wood carpets and vinyl floor finishes we recommend a maximum heat temperature of 81 degrees and for stone and tiles a slightly higher temperature of 86 degrees.
Again if your chosen floor finish only allows a floor temperature of 27 c degrees and the heat output requirement is higher than what can be achieved with a 27 c degree floor you could consider changing the floor material in order for an underfloor heating system to work as the sole source of heat.
For floors occupied by people with normal indoor footwear flooring material is insignificant.
All radiant heat floors should be turned down so subfloor temperature is maintained at 65 degrees for 3 days prior to installation and kept at 65 degrees for at least 48 hours after installation to allow the adhesive to fully cure.
About 75 f at floor level declining to 68 f at eye level then to 61 f at the ceiling.
Make sure underlay it is suitable for underfloor heating if carpet adhesive is to be used make sure it is suitable for temperatures up to 40 c.
Concrete is much more thermally massive and therefore shouldn t need as high of a temperature i would guess in the 120 125 degree range.
They have a low tog value and.
That is typically managed by adjusting the temperature controls at the mixing valve that maintains the floor temperature by mixing in return loop water with outgoing water from the circulator boiler.
According to the radiant panel association a radiant heated floor normally feels neutral with a surface temperature usually lower than normal body temperature although the overall sensation is one of comfort.
We have a house with hydronic underfloor heating the floor is covered with ceramic tiles and we have room thermostats in every room in the house the temperature rise 22 24 degrees as we set the thermostat but we don t have the feeling of heated underfloor and our feets are cold.
Is your system controlled by surface temperature or room air temperature.

If gripper rails are used make sure you don t nail to deep and puncture the pipes.
Olesen 1977b found an optimal temperature of 77 f for sedentary and 73 5 f for standing or walking persons.
You should be targeting about 80 degrees surface temperature of the floor generally to maintain comfortable room temperature.
In a slab max water temp is 140 150 depending upon the mix however with that temp get ready for undershooting and overshooting of the room temp as the slab flywheels with temp.
The ideal temperature underfloor heating should be run at also varies.
In order to figure it out a heat loss needs to be done to size the pump and the water temp needed.
These recommendations should also be followed in schools where children often play directly on the floor.
