open plan dining room an lounge and kitchen??? yay or nay???
Comments (9)It just depends on the space you have. Like the comments above, there will be noise/clutter/food smell from the kitchen - do you really want that in full view when you are relaxing or entertaining? I think open plan only works if you have a separate living area, then it's great. Need to be careful with the noise aspect. Have you also considered a pantry area? Ideal to house all the extra food items/small appliances and a washing machine. Hope this helps - good luck :)...See MoreAntler ceiling light? Yay or nay?
Comments (17)Hi Isla Henderson, I Like the design of the antler light, but I agree that it could be a lovely seasonal piece and maybe not the best for a quite modern interior? If you are looking for an industrial style pendant, then maybe we could offer you something that is more fit for all year round and also matches your interior. Industrial Vintage Cartwheel Pendant [Industrial 3 Light Ceiling Pendant[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/products/industrial-style-3-light-ceiling-pendant-rust-prvw-vr~109780485) [Orbital 8 light ceiling light[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/products/orbital-8-light-ceiling-pendant-light-rust-prvw-vr~109780474) We have a large range of industrial style options that may also fit, I will link our pendant page [here[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/products/pendant-lighting-prbr1-br~t_10259~a_10-10518531).

Comments (9)your floor choice will work great :) i have ufh in new build with air source heatpump and 21mm thick engineered wood floor (probably only carpet and solid wood would be considered less effective) and it is great, id make same choice again. i have ceramic tiles in 2 bathrooms and it definitely conducts heat better, lovely and warm underfoot when heating is running but as others have said its cooler the rest of the time. the remainder of the house just has a lovely even heat. its also very cost effective,i pay same in 4 bed, 2 bath house as i did in a previous 2 bed house (which was also new build but storage heaters). please forgive the lack of punctuation and poor sentences, this is my third attemp at posting a reply and ive lost patience writing the same thing!...See MoreUnderfloor heating with radiators?
Comments (12)We have overlay wet ufh which we installed ourselves throughout our ground floor as we were having an extension and the original heating system involved the unsheathed copper pipes being laid into the concrete floor slab. The house is a 70s build and over time the pipe can fail, as we have seen in several houses nearby (the latest only last week!). We decided it was an ideal time to futureproof and change the downstairs heating whilst leaving upstairs as radiators as pipes are under floorboards so don't have the same problems. The UFH is great, only 20mm height increase on the floor. Heats whole room evenly and is so nice underfoot. Costs much less to run than electric UFH and also less than radiators as the water in the pipes is at a lower temperature than is need for radiators. You can do just one room or configure as required. We went with Wunda but other brands are widely available....See More

6 years agoCouldn’t live without our wet underfloor heating. We have porcelain tiles and although part of the extension is south facing, couldn’t imagine walking across the floor on a winter night if we didn’t have it. If we’d just had radiators we would of had to have chosen a floor covering that would be warmer underfoot, but probably not as practical as we have bifold doors. The heating comes on for a few hours in the morning and again in the evening. The room remains warmer throughout the day than the rest of the house which has radiators, as the floor retains lots of heat even after it has turned off.
