[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 504819, member: 28452"] I wouldn't dismiss UFH but it will need to be properly installed. My son has it in his large extension and it is excellent but was a lot of work and cost to install as the extension was built You say you have already laid the floor and don't want to disturb it. My son's installation started at the foundation base slab, firstly topped with six inches of foam insulation. Umpteen metres of special plastic pipe laid in coils on that, then a concrete screed, followed by parquet. It then has its own pump and temperature control system and connects to the gas fired boiler which serves the rest of the house. In practice the UFH keeps the whole house warm with the conventional red's doing little. However, I can't see a few electric heating mats fitted as an afterthought, doing well. Sorry, just my opinion, but you get what you pay for. [/QUOTE]
