we are planning to build a new house with an insulated ground slab, but without underfloor heating because we want to lay industrial parquet flooring throughout, and underfloor heating could cause issues.
At the moment, we are considering a ceiling heating system. Our apartment will have an interior height of 3m (10 feet).
Is ceiling heating alone sufficient for heating? I am still concerned about the absence of underfloor heating and whether this might lead to cold feet.
Do you have any experience with this? I find radiant heat itself very comfortable.

Some friends of mine have a wall heating system and are quite satisfied with it. They also don’t have a basement underneath.
I’m not familiar with ceiling heating, but I’m trying to imagine it, and I’m not sure if I would like it. Heat from above doesn’t feel as comfortable to me personally as heat from below or from the side.

I have also heard about wall heating quite often. Ceiling heating, however, I have only seen in commercial spaces, halls, etc. Wall heating might be problematic for us since we are building in an existing courtyard with limited natural light. We want to use as many large floor-to-ceiling windows as possible, which is why we are considering ceiling heating.

Masipulami7 Oct 2014 14:20Yes, it exists. However, I believe it should not exceed a certain thickness, otherwise it can lead to heat loss.
I find ceiling heating somewhat challenging because heat naturally rises. How do you direct the warmth downwards without using a fan?
Basement: It is possible to do without one if you build larger. We chose to have a basement. The boiler room (ventilation system with heat recovery, washing machine/dryer), hobby room, storage room, guest room – all are located in the basement. Otherwise, these 70 square meters (750 square feet) of floor space would need to be distributed over both upper floors if you build without a basement. Another advantage for us: the slightly sloped plot was nicely balanced out – two basement rooms have natural daylight. We have underfloor heating everywhere, including the basement.
