Wunda Rapid Response Installation

[Sloan23]

Hello All,

Hope you are well. We are looking into purchasing Wunda Underfloor Heating system (the over floor Rapid Response one).

We are looking to install it all around the house.

The quote from Wunda has been quite reasonable for the materials, but I have been struggling with finding anyone to install it.

I seem to be getting people who either want to sell their own systems, or quote an exorbitant amount to install them (which I understand can even be DIY - not that I am confident enough to try it).

Anyone has had experience with this? Any advice will be very much appreciated

@arabellaL thought I'd tag you in case you went ahead with your decision. I saw a thread from
last year.

Hi All apologies for spamming you like this, but saw your messages on the other thread which I believe is now closed.

Please it will be great to get some wisdom from you all. One installation quote I have is nearly 2.5x materials from Wunda 😶‍🌫️

Hey @Sloan23 we needed to put a fair amount of insulation underneath of wunda floor to make it worth it from an energetic point of view, and our house is quite small (2.3m). we weren’t ready to compromise the height of the house, so we didn’t install wunda in the end.

what I would recommend you is to do your number right, as if you live on a ground floor, you may need between. 5-10cm of insulation underneath the wunda to make it energetically efficient and cheap to run.

let me know if you need any help.

We installed it ourselves, did roughly 90 square metres (800m of pipe) over the ground floor of our house, quite hard work and even harder than the videos show depending on the floor covering you want to use but saved us a fortune.

Hi There, I’m jumping on this thread, which has been really informative.

We are looking to install Wunda Rapid Respose on our ground floor bungalow renovation, which is going to be approx 250m2. Onto existing slab (approx 40 yrs old which isn’t going to have insulation only a small area is new slab with insulation where we have extended)

My flooring Guy is telling me that my heat loss will be huge downward through the concrete and I should install a layer of insulation underneath the wunda boards to help reduce this heat loss. (Such as 25m celotex depending on what height we can go to with the doors etc) which will help reduce the running costs and help with thermal efficiency.

I’ve had so many varying opinions about Wunda from filers/plumbers etc some have refused to do the job because of it & the size…
I was wondering if anyone has put a layer of insulation underneath the wunda boards And could give any advise or share their experience.

thanks in advance

Hi,

Did you go ahead with Wunda in the end? We're in a similar situation. We're struggling to find someone to install it in London as our builder is quoting 1k for screed then the cost of the boards then £750 to install the boards then £2k to connect it to the boiler, so the whole thing comes to close to £5k.
