Consider youself lucky you have a tennant.
I Have just found this out also U Value 0.15 is Building regulations for underfloor heating. My floor area is 150m2. The ratio of area to perimiter is .44. With this I would need a minimum of 110mm K3 Kingspan to comply with regulations. Ask the guys that sell the products or check their...
