  • Bit late to this but if you go for underfloor heating make sure you seal the feet of any wooden furniture you've got - it's normal to leave the feet of cabinets and chairs unvarnished, but wood (especially oak) will dry out and change shape if it's got constant heat running up the grain from contact with a heated floor.

    My ex's dad is a cabinet maker in the North East - we spent one summer driving around helping him to collect old furniture he'd made, the owners had since installed underfloor heating and the cabinets needed some serious repair.

  • Ah good point, had not considered at all, we have just pay a silly amount of money to have some furniture restored so would have been very annoyed...

    Think we are erring on the side of having nice column radiators rather than underfloor heating currently...
