Ceiling heating is interesting. I don’t know anyone in a private environment who has one, only in office buildings.

The argument about heat rising is often made, yes. But it’s primarily about radiant heat, right? At the risk of making myself look ridiculous, radiant heat doesn’t care whether it comes from below, above, or the side? The ceiling also has the advantage that the heating surface can act over the entire area. The floor is then a bit colder than with underfloor heating, but I think that can be managed.

I look forward to hearing about experiences when the time comes!

I would rather call it generally "ceiling temperierung," because I know it as heating and cooling.

Radiant heat probably reaches about half a meter. From underfloor heating, it then continues linearly (assuming zero side wind), but basically most of the perceived tempering of a room is that which reaches the occupant through the transport medium of room air. In this sense, wall heat naturally also rises close to the wall, so compared to underfloor heating, it sort of deflects. A tiled stove is also, in that regard, a "wall heating," and people have always sat close to it to direct as much heat as possible directly to their own bodies. Personally, I don’t consider any single method so brilliant that all others can be ignored for it. Underfloor heating is not more than simply the most popular variant with the most satisfactory deviation from the theoretical optimum, universally for house and apartment construction. Wall heating systems can be designed in various ways; the vertically tilted warm-water underfloor heating is just one of them. And as with many things, the respective practitioners are people with their associated subjective filters, so very few practitioners achieve the same level of competence in all variants. Accordingly, for everything, there are people who supposedly objectively as experts (but actually subjectively as humans) glorify some systems and demonize others. That a fitter says "I don’t like it and can’t do it, but it should be good" can hardly ever be hoped for.

P.S.: We currently have a thread on the topic of window heating here . I will refrain from taking a judgmental stance, but I would like to point out: such a heating system makes the most sense when used in combination with wall heating, because then at least the "massive" and the "transparent" wall parts complement each other and work together. But even there, presumably, the selling advocates of one or the other variant will claim that's nonsense, that their favorite is so great it doesn’t need its ugly sibling ;-)

The good thing would be that through the suspended ceiling (which we originally discarded because underfloor heating was planned and then the room height would be too low) we could relatively comfortably run installations under the cladding and distribute them to both floors, assuming I’m not completely off base now.

2.40 meters room height (if you assume 10cm suspension height) wouldn’t be great, but certainly manageable.

I will report back – but it may take a while. Difficult to fit in at the moment :-)

[RADIATION HEAT only reaches about half a meter. (...)] People who work with glowing metal would probably not agree with that.
