Hello,
we are a family of four and have decided to buy a solid end-terrace house. Underfloor heating will be installed throughout the entire ground floor (except for the utility room) and first floor.
The heat generation will be provided by an air-to-water heat pump.
We have decided to have the attic prepared for finishing, which means a second spiral staircase, an upper hallway, and a door will be installed.
Two low-temperature radiators will be installed in the attic.
Intended use of the attic:
About 50% storage (due to the lack of a basement) and about 50% an occasionally used guest/hobby room.
Does it make sense to also install underfloor heating in the attic?
Personally, I am a bit reluctant. Underfloor heating responds quite slowly, so running it continuously in the attic seems questionable in terms of energy efficiency.
Are these low-temperature radiators suitable to heat the room quickly enough with the low supply temperature of the heat pump (around 35°C (95°F))?
Best regards from Berlin
