Hello, our house has a gas boiler that supplies two heating circuits: radiators in the basement and underfloor heating on the ground floor and first floor. I have a converted office room in the basement (about 18m2 (194 square feet)) — the basement is about 50% below ground level. There is a radiator installed in this room. The room gets warm, but the tiled floor remains quite cold. My question: would it be possible (or advisable) to install underfloor heating here afterward? Or are there other suggestions for dealing with cold floors in the basement? Thanks and best regards, ashley

There is ultra-thin insulation material, and you could lay parquet flooring on top of that. Thanks for the tips. So, a first step would be to add to the floor. Can I just lay insulation material on the existing tiles and then install the parquet? Would I need to install a vapor barrier or something similar?

You could, for example, install an infrared panel on the ceiling; What output would such an infrared heater need to have (as mentioned: insulated basement room, about 20 m2 (215 sq ft), about 2.20 m (7.2 ft) ceiling height)?

For me, it's about 20m² (215 sq ft)Yes, I just wanted to emphasize that it also depends on the specific conditions.
