If you use just one layer there will be an air gap from the top of the insulation to the bottom of the piano. The top of the insulation will eventually come up to temperature albeit slightly lower than the temperature of the uninsulated floor. Convection currents will be set up in the air gap betwe...

If you buy a roll of builders insulation there should be enough to build up a 'mutlipack' without using cardboard. Keep the shinny side facing downwards. All the best. Thank you!

Do you have recommendations for humidifiers to put in the room? @Chrisw, The underfloor heating is using hot water pipes. What type of foil should I use f...

Thank you for the link! Do you have any recommendations for a humidifier? (There are a lot of options online!) Al...

My piano has been great and hasn't needed tuning even once in the 3 years I have owned it. I am scared that the underfloor heating might d...
