Hi, can you say why you are glad to have gotten rid of the underfloor heating?

Hi!

Yes. As always with a proper disaster, there were several reasons.

1. In general, I find this type of heating too slow - but that has improved with more modern technology by now.
2. My wife experiences circulatory problems because of it.
3. We both simply feel uncomfortable with this type of heating and the climate it creates in the house. Purely personal feeling. It is not objective.
4. Personally, I like to walk barefoot (or with socks in winter). But the feeling with underfloor heating feels strange to me...
(we are not alone in this, I know many people who feel similarly)
5. It was also noticeably cheaper... I am not a millionaire, every euro saved was fine with me at the time, especially since it could be saved here for personal reasons (see above).

Cons:
1. Underfloor heating in the bathroom: nice thing, I could have done that too (for little money), but at the time I was in a hurry because of the double burden of the coat. The necessary screed drying would have delayed moving in further. I / we had to get into the house.
2. The underfloor heating is - at least regarding the efficiency of a gas condensing boiler - at an advantage. Lower flow temperature. Lower return temperature.
3. Radiators take up space (I placed them where no furniture could have been placed anyway in the small house, so secondary)
4. Optics of radiators: can be perceived as a disadvantage. It is one. Radiators are not decorative.

Best regards
Thorsten

We have a family in our circle of acquaintances who also consciously returned to HK when they built again five years ago. Aside from the financial aspect, Thorsten's arguments seem familiar to me. When choosing the floors, one is also not so restricted.

I rather have the problem that it is too warm in the house, but I don't feel the underfloor heating except on the stairs or in the storage room where I have set it to 18 degrees.

What surface temperature do tiles have on an underfloor heating?
