Can you imagine having underfloor heating that is already integrated into the floor covering and can be controlled as you like via an app (it should be warm where you are sitting, and not heated where the cupboard is)?

What is that supposed to achieve?

No

No

No.
How is that supposed to work with a modern surface heating system and low flow temperature, and what should that achieve?

Sounds like electric heating. Not approved for new buildings.

I also don't see any comfort gain. I don't want the room to be heated only when I enter it. I want as homogeneous temperatures as possible in my living spaces.
I also don't want to stand on a warm surface that tries to quickly heat my surrounding air. Sounds like "hotspots" to me. It's extremely unhealthy, even if some ladies hope for warm feet from underfloor heating (and fortunately don't get them).
And, still assuming it's electric heating, the consumption would be too expensive for me.

There is nothing smart about app control either. Smart would be if your heating system knew where the user is and automatically adjusted the temperature there. Having to adjust the heating around me every time I move from room to room is 19th-century technology, no matter how fancy the controller looks.

Last but not least, I imagine integration into the flooring means I'm limited in my choice of flooring.

The longer I think about it, the more electric underfloor heating from the 80s/90s comes to mind. Do you mean something like that? If not, what is the difference?

Actually, everything has already been said. As a rule, something like that is much too inefficient, too slow, too energy-consuming, and so on. You also want a room that is already tempered when you enter it, not a heating of the rooms only upon entering, because then it is actually much too late. A comfortable heating system in a car also preheats it, and you get into a warm interior.

Clear no. In addition to the mentioned comfort issue, it is too expensive, too prone to errors, and too complicated.

Is this a survey for a business idea?
