Underfloor heating for half a room?
So we're having an extension done which will extend the living room and kitchen later this year.
Initially we wanted wet underfloor heating throughout both rooms, however we do not have the budget for that unfortunately due to the cost of retro-fitting it. We considered electric UFH in the existing section of the room and piped in the extension part, however due to running costs, we decided that we'd never turn on the electric UFH, therefore it was pointless.
So now I'm left wondering...
Is it worth having part of a room with wet UFH? and a radiator to help heat the other sections of the room?
or.... would it just be better to get rid of the UFH entirely? would it seem strange having UFH in only part of a room?
We're planning on having LVT flooring, so it would conduct the UFH well.
(the exact layouts of the units etc are likely to change)

Comments (3)Hello Jeannie, I have decided to go for laminate ... however Traditional Spaces by Austin Photographers Sarah Natsumi Moore image from houzz makes me want to try and mix materials and see if it can be done.

Comments (3)We installed tile in our entryway, bath and laundry, but did not put in heating. Regret it ever since. I think that since tile isn't easily replaced it is worth the extra expense and an added feature for resale. I was under the impression that it only takes a few minutes to warm up, but that would probably depend on the brand....See Moreunderfloor heating or infrared ceiling panels??
Comments (10)Hi Gabby, Well after a bit of research and speaking to my electrician re the infra red panels, it was decided to give them a miss. However, that then meant that we had not planned for UF heating so we ended up having to have high output rads on what few walls we had left! Bit of a pain really. We have pipes going to the island if we ever want plinth heaters (although they are a bit noisy as operate using fans - even for the plumbed in ones!) to give us more heat in the middle of the room. To be honest, the rooms are quite warm during the winter days when the sun is out so we only have to worry about evenings and cold winter where our log burner will be on anyway. If we could go back, we would have had wet UF heating put in the new extension. Wouldn’t bother with electric as too expensive and cheaper just to have rads put in...See MoreTILES vs Laminate vs LVT - Underfloor heating with Heat Pump
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 MoreGabby
