Anybody got much experience with underfloor heating?

I’d like to not have to waste wall space on rads and I can just afford it if I do the bulk of the work myself. Plus it’s cheaper to heat the house and gives a more even heat.

The big question is whether I put the metal tray system between the joists or lay a biscuit screed over the pipes.

Screeding obviously has the potential for a huge amount of mess but the house will be empty when I do it anyway.

Is there much else to consider? It looks reasonably straightforward

Floor covering and the potential requirement for another source of heat. Wooden floor boards mean you'll never get that warm cosy feeling in winter without an additional source

We’ll have two multi fuel stoves in the house when it’s done so we won’t want for coziness.

However, I thought wood was a great conductor? Are you saying it doesn’t blast out heat in the same way as a radiator?
