  • Underfloor heating. Worth it?

    Planning on replacing approx 45 sq metres of laminate with engineered wood flooring.
    Lounge, hallways, office.
    Have got a 2yr old Vaillant combi boiler (so quite efficient). Radiators in hallway, two in lounge, one in office.
    I'd replace the radiators anyway since they looks crap.

    So, with the floor already up, and the radiators already being replaced... (would be electric underfloor heating rather than water).

  • I think so, love ours. It's water in a polished concrete floor though so don't know how that compares with electric in wooden flooring. Walking on it in your socks is amazing.

  • Underfloor heating. Worth it?

    Something to think about if you have wood floors is that although under floor heating tends to give a good overall temperature, wood is a bad conduter. So when it's cold out you don't get that nice warm cosy feeling - you get a stable ambient temperature.

    In most rooms it doesn't matter, but in a sitting room you'll probably want something to give you that extra blast of heat.

    Where there's tiles or carpets though it's amazing.
