Construction progress: Duplex with WU basement and developed attic

What is written here sounds completely illogical to me. Our former heating installer, who dealt with the under-bathfloor heating pipes, said back then that we shouldn’t take parquet flooring in the entire house because the heat wouldn’t come through sufficiently there. And now you want to tell me that the heat from the underlying underfloor heating pipes can pass through 1. the screed and tiles, 2. the styrofoam of the bath carrier, and 3. also through the bathtub itself and warm the room. Well, I believe many things, but not that.

Underfloor heating works by heating the screed and through the resulting warming of all objects in the room; it is a radiant heating system. Naturally, this also heats objects and materials lying on and above the screed. This also includes the bath carrier and the bathtub itself. If you have areas in the screed without pipes, this area must be warmed by the surrounding pipes; as a consequence, you deliver less heat overall to the room and have to work with higher flow temperatures.

A underfloor heating system works by heating the screed and thereby warming all objects in the room; it is a radiant heating system.

In the process, objects and materials lying on and above the screed are naturally also warmed.

This also includes the tub support frame and the bathtub itself.

If you have areas in the screed without pipes, this area must be heated by the surrounding pipes; as a result, you introduce less heat overall into the room and have to work with higher flow temperatures.

but your expert said the tub might crush the pipes. Then so be it :rolleyes:

Yes, I trust my lawyer. I think that should be the prerequisite when you hire a lawyer, otherwise I wouldn't commission him, otherwise I might as well throw the money out the window. Or would you hire a lawyer you don't trust? People, what are such posts supposed to achieve?

Ok. I'll be more specific. Trust was not related to his professional qualifications as a lawyer. Of course, you trust him in that regard. But what qualifies the lawyer to give a recommendation on construction matters? Or I'll repeat again the part of my question you did not answer: which construction company is currently available and waiting for your (complicated) building project? Construction companies are fully booked for months or longer.

As already stated, I will no longer comment on this here. The intolerance displayed by some members here is alarming. I have repeatedly stated that I do not want this, yet it continues to be constantly pushed. These people apparently cannot accept a "No." I've had enough.

I always found this thread and its predecessor interesting, and both certainly had a certain entertainment value. The threads clearly show what can go wrong if you are too careless in choosing construction partners and let the "Zwiebelleder" have a decisive influence on the selection. I also don’t understand the behavior of the OP in many respects; by now it should be clear that blindly following recommendations without a thorough background check of the construction companies can quickly go wrong. Despite the experience in the recent past, people rely again on third-party recommendations. And yes, I agree with and many other users: which good company is currently waiting for orders in the current construction boom? The answer should be obvious. @OP: What you imagine here is a blog. Not a thread in a forum where everyone is allowed to share their opinion, whether you want it or not. As OP, you have to accept that there are differing opinions, statements, and tips from the users here. Even if they don’t suit you, you have to live with it and filter out what is necessary or unnecessary for yourself. Every time the variant: “You don’t do what I want, I don’t get only approval and confirmation? So I won’t write anymore” strongly reminds me of a friend of my daughter who always threatens to no longer be a friend as soon as someone doesn’t play along. Well, she is seven... A forum is meant for exchanging opinions and experiences, you have to be aware of that. Otherwise, as mentioned above, you should have written a blog. There you can decide what may be written, can delete unwanted comments, etc. No one means you any harm; everyone wants to give you tips and to provide food for thought in a more or less direct way. If you don’t want to accept that, so be it, but you cannot expect everyone to listen to you and only write what pleases you. As already written, I like the thread and would like to continue reading updates. Whether here or in a linked blog you create would not matter to me.

The intolerance displayed here by some members is shocking.

I have repeatedly stated that I do not want this, and yet it is constantly being pushed further.

And just read, on page 9 or 10, that you do not want any lectures... Dear OP Hausbau... Construction statuses can be well preserved in a blog or construction diary, where you can set the commenting function accordingly, you can publicly name the company and thus also exert pressure. Why not? During the day, hundreds of users are logged in here, only a fraction of them wanted you to continue your story. But this is simply not a "small private community," but a public space for exchanging opinions – no bans or rules for individual users who just happen to catch a comment somewhere, read into it, and wonder. This is not intolerance from them, they are simply using the forum as it is intended.
