OT Knowledge / Underfloor heating pros / cons
« Last post by Sergeant Pluck on Today at 12:32:54 pm »Hi all
Our bathroom is due to get ripped out shortly. We’ve been wavering on a few choices regarding the floor. There has been a dalliance with Amtico / similar but we have now reverted to porcelain tiles. The question of underfloor heating arises.
While I could happily do without it, various thoughts come to mind:
- we aren’t going to get the chance to do it again
- it’s seen as a desirable feature when selling and we will not own this flat forever
- it is not that expensive to do, given the overall cost of the job
- nice to have even if only used occasionally. Partner is keen to have it available.
Advice and tales of UFH experienced appreciated. It’s a 2nd floor flat, in a small late 60s block, concrete floor. Any reason not to proceed, assuming flor heights allow?
