ᐅ Wood-look tiles – What do you think about these tiles?

In our well-insulated semi-detached house from 2013 (about 1,000m³ (35,300 cubic feet) of gas per year), the underfloor heating is already warm.

But I don’t understand the complaints about cold floors – please put on slippers again!
That way, your socks will also last longer.

Who exactly do you mean by complaints? I’m not complaining myself.
However, I don’t understand how you can have “nicely warm underfloor heating” in a well-insulated new build.
What supply temperatures are the heating circuits running at?
Your gas consumption corresponds to about 7,600 kWh – not much for a cold region. How large is your semi-detached house/final energy demand?

I agree with Cascada. In our home, the areas with tiles are noticeably cooler than the areas where we have vinyl flooring. The tiles haven’t really become warm in the 1.5 years we have been living in the house. However, the coldest day so far has only been -6°C (21°F). They are not uncomfortably cold, but also far from cozy warm.

What supply temperatures are used for the water circulating in the heating loops?

The “complaining” should be seen with a smile. You often read that people complain about cold tiles – I personally can’t relate because I always wear Birkenstocks. My wife, however, is different.

My semi-detached house (rented) was built in 2013, 150 m² (1,615 sq ft) living area plus basement and ground/upper/attic floors.
In Nuremberg, we have so-called “H-gas” with a higher calorific value. The consumption therefore corresponds to roughly 10,000–11,000 kWh, I don’t remember the exact number. Also, there are only two of us and we have a solar system for domestic hot water.
The underfloor heating is definitely mixed down and is not operated at the supply temperature used for the radiators; how high it is exactly now, I don’t know. I estimate about 40–45°C (104–113°F).
Not comparable with a heat pump running at a supply temperature of 30°C (86°F), of course.

Our tiles with underfloor heating in the new build generally do not get warm (they feel cool to the touch), but I walk around without slippers and it is not uncomfortable. My little daughter even prefers to walk barefoot. However, you can notice a big difference when you step on the stairs with the same tiles but without underfloor heating: those feel clearly colder.

@ SirSydom: It’s not just your wife who is different – all women are.
But with gas and the associated higher supply temperatures, that can be the case. However, it’s bad for the veins and varicose veins.
In theory, a larger pipe spacing is required then. With a 10cm (5 inch) pipe spacing and a 45°C (113°F) supply temperature, you would otherwise have around 30°C (86°F) in the room in a new building...
