Does it make sense to combine a brick climate ceiling with underfloor heating?

Hello everyone,
what you read on the internet and from the brick manufacturers is that a brick climate ceiling is great without any restrictions. It makes sense to me that heat radiated from above would be more pleasant for people.
I would be interested to know how much of the heat still reaches the floor compared to underfloor heating. Which building materials would even be suitable for the floor? Are the supply temperatures identical to underfloor heating? Apart from the floor covering, is there anything else on the brick ceiling like screed or the like? Does a combination of brick ceiling and underfloor heating make sense in certain rooms, for example in the bathroom (women always want warm feet )

Many questions, I would be happy if anyone had practical experience with this.

Best regards

Speer

Hi,
the system temperatures are - with comparable pipe spacing - rather somewhat lower than with underfloor heating, since the pure radiation share is higher. Due to the lack of convection, even less dust is stirred up by the heating system.

The system "starts up" faster - provided it is only installed in the plaster.
This means the heat reaches the room faster.
Concrete core activated ceiling heating systems have no advantage in terms of speed.
After all, a component has to be activated again - like the screed in underfloor heating.

The floor structure in the rooms remains almost unaffected.
Only the minimum screed thickness can slightly decrease, since the minimum coverage of the underfloor heating pipes no longer applies.

Depending on the system, however, the ceiling involves additional effort (plastering).
In my opinion, ceilings are considerably more expensive than the comparable effort for precast ceilings above and underfloor heating as a heating system.

You have flanged fitting connections below the screed of the floor above.
That could become a problem... in any case, such things do not exist with underfloor heating since it is laid continuously from the distributor to the room and back. So that is initially a disadvantage of the ceiling heating system...

The brick manufacturers specify the pipe system, which is relatively expensive in terms of connections (especially fittings) and you should remain "within the system"...

The cooling function works splendidly and one is pleased with a cool house in summer.
However, you should not expect miracles, but while the neighbors’ rooms slowly but surely heat up over the summer weeks, you stay constantly at 23° with activated "passive" or "silent" cooling and sensible shading of the window areas.


However, underfloor heating is the wrong approach for that... a flow temperature of around 30° is still "felt cold" for the lady’s little feet... so do not confuse this with the "underfloor temperature controls" of the 90s and before.

Because it "radiates only from above," the surface temperatures of the floor are naturally lower than with underfloor heating. We have at least compensated for this on the highly heat-conducting tiled floors by also installing underfloor heating there (with larger pipe spacing, however).

I have also read that the room (air) temperature can be about 1 degree lower due to the higher radiation share. But I cannot confirm that from my own experience.

Hello karliseppel, I contacted some climate ceiling manufacturers some time ago regarding a possible inspection and demonstration of the climate ceiling. However, I never received a response. It would be nice to talk to the people living there to hear their opinion. Why did you decide on this type of heating and do you perhaps know of any inspection opportunities in the Stuttgart area? Best regards and have a nice Sunday Speer
