Hello

My wife and I can't decide. Some say do this, others say do that. It's about what would be better. It's about the bedroom and the two children's rooms. Should we put radiators in there or underfloor heating like in the basement? Downstairs we also have a fireplace. We are afraid that the rooms upstairs won't heat up quickly enough with underfloor heating! What would you advise me???

Either or. Running both on the same heating system is relatively complex, as radiators would require a separate heating circuit with a higher flow temperature.
My knowledge is rather rudimentary, but as far as I know, underfloor heating operates with flow temperatures around 35 degrees, whereas radiators require up to 60 degrees.
Maybe a heating specialist can write something about this.

On the other hand, there is basically nothing speaking against underfloor heating. The mistake is usually made by the person operating it. Of course, it reacts more sluggishly than a conventional radiator, but it is not meant to be constantly adjusted. A room temperature is set once and then it is left running. Practice then shows whether it is too warm or too cold, and one adjusts accordingly. Once the right setting is found, you just leave it be.

hi,

I can't really help you, but we also decided on the underfloor heating in the [og].

best regards

And are you satisfied? In winter, when it's cold and you air out the room, does it warm up quickly again?! It's very important to me in the children's room!!!! That's what it's all about for me.

I can't tell you that yet because we haven't moved in [einziehen] yet.

So purely from a physical-logical perspective, the upper floor is easier to heat than the ground floor, since heat naturally rises. From that point of view, underfloor heating upstairs should be sufficient. This winter, even with the extreme cold, we certainly had no problems with it. Although we did not live there yet, we also ventilated several times a day with quick bursts to get rid of the construction moisture. It quickly became warm again without changing any settings, mind you.
