Turning On UFH After Laying Tiles/Wooden Floors

    Hi,

    I am just looking for some advice on turning on UFH heating after laying tiles and wooden floors.

    The tiles are mainly natural stone travertine and the wooden floors are a combination of semi-solid (floated) and engineered (glued).

    I am interested to know how long I should leave it before turning on the UFH and what procedure should I use for ramping it up (and how high should I go).

    The floors have been down between 1 (travertine tiles) and 4 (semi-solid) weeks.

    I have thermostats in each room (i.e., each room is controlled independently).

    Any advice appreciated.

    Im no expert but from researching I decided to leave all floors for 4 weeks. Then after 4 weeks turn on ufh to lowest temp and bring up to working temp at 5 degree intervals every day...

    Yes, at least 4 weeks and as you say bring up to to temperature slowly.

    As it was during my build, it was nearly six months before the UFH was used.
