Under a 2.5-tog combined ceiling, subtraction leaves 0.83 tog for an underlay. This arithmetic illustrates a check only: it does not select an underlay or approve the full build-up.<\/p><p class=\"fd-source-note\">Evidence: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abingdonflooring.co.uk\/range\/charter-berber-loop\/\">Charter Berber Loop product specification<\/a>.<\/p><\/section><section><h2>What should the fitter confirm?<\/h2><p>Ask for the exact carpet and underlay references, their documented resistance values and written compatibility with the proposed heating system. Record any operating, installation or commissioning restrictions. Recheck the combination if a component is substituted; a similar-looking carpet need not have the same specification.<\/p><p>Do not remove a required layer simply to make a total fit a target. Heating performance, fitting method and warranty applicability need to be assessed together.<\/p><\/section><nav aria-label=\"Related Abingdon Flooring articles\"><h2>Related answers and guides<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/floordesigns.co.uk\/falkirk-shop\/product-guides\/abingdon-flooring-product-guide\/\">Abingdon flooring guide: fibres, ranges and real differences<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/floordesigns.co.uk\/falkirk-shop\/product-guides\/abingdon-carpet-care-warranty\/\">Abingdon carpet care and warranty: what the cover means<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/floordesigns.co.uk\/falkirk-shop\/q-and-a\/can-you-bleach-clean-abingdon-carpet\/\">Can you bleach-clean every Abingdon carpet?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><p><a href=\"https:\/\/floordesigns.co.uk\/falkirk-shop\/contact\/\">Discuss your flooring project with FloorDesigns<\/a><\/p><section><h2>Sources and scope<\/h2><p>Selected official sources checked 4 October 2026.
