Underfloor heating with wall heating in a wood-clay house

Hello everyone,

I have been searching for a long time (I hope no one immediately sends me a referenced post now) and therefore decided to start my own thread.

[*]We have decided on a solid wood house
[*]Clay plaster is used inside
[*]Our construction company swears by wall heating in the clay plaster and no underfloor heating
[*]We are building without a basement
[*]Both of us are used to underfloor heating + tiles from our parental homes

We want to manage without slippers and without carpets and rather go directly on wooden floors, or use tiles at the wet areas in the house.
Of course, we have concerns...

Of course, the wall heating radiates, but the tiles will always remain "cool" because of it, right?
I have fewer concerns about the wooden floor here because it does not feel as cold at the same temperatures as, for example, a tile floor.

[*]Can someone contribute from experience?
[*]Is it uncomfortable in winter to walk on tiles without underfloor heating + without shoes + without carpet?
[*]Or is the radiant heat from the wall heating sufficient for the tiles?

That would be super interesting for us

A modern underfloor heating system has such low temperatures that the tiles don’t really get warm, so there is no big difference to cool. In the summer half of the year, the heating is off anyway. With wooden floors, I even think it’s better if there is no underfloor heating underneath. The heating performance is lower through the wood, and you are limited in the choice, having to opt for thin parquet that can only be sanded once at most. And you can lay rugs without feeling guilty because the heating performance is not reduced by that. Unfortunately, I have no experience with wall heating; these are the things that come to mind regarding your questions...

I have now searched for a long time (I hope no one will immediately send me a referenced post ) and therefore decided to open my own thread.

Secondly, even internal links currently do not work reliably, and firstly I also do not recall any "duplication" or even greater multiplication of this topic. I also do not "know" everything, but you are probably quite exclusive with this question here

Especially the solid wood builders proceed quite thoroughly and are little prone to fashionable nonsense – insofar, I consider this preference likely deliberate and/or based on experience. Can the provider not help you with customer opinions on your question?

First of all, thank you very much for taking the time. We have already interviewed three families living in finished houses, the families were all happy, but did not really place much value on this point... That is exactly our problem. Everyone trusts the finished product "solid wood house" and deals less with the "What is sensible, what is not?" I also do not want to claim that the families are therefore unhappier.

But surely they have not all previously lived in wooden houses with heated clay wall plaster and can now report how the indoor climate has changed for them.

Such houses do exist, but having three of that kind is already a very extraordinary "lucky coincidence". The more typical wooden house customer is (sometimes very noticeably) above average in building biology awareness. Of course, wooden house providers also have customers who simply wanted a home, but they are rather a minority. By the way, "solid wood" would rather not be eco / sustainable & co., solid timber usually does not mean solid wood and is increasingly called "massive wood house" instead of "solid wood house".

Why is solid wood not sustainable? And what is the difference between [Massivholz] and solid wood?
