Hello,
It would be really great if everyone here could just post one or a few pictures showing the current state of their house.
I'll start right away.
For renovations, it’s best to provide a comparison of before and after the remodeling.

Because there are installation guidelines and the screed needs a bearing surface, a 10cm (4 inch) edge zone by the door is mandatory. Otherwise, it can crack or break.Ah, okay, I believe there is a 10cm (4 inch) edge at the border. It probably looked narrower from that angle than it actually is. Here are the same doors from a different angle.

What is the grid spacing of the mats? 10cm (5 inches) or 5cm (2 inches)? I can’t really tell. Was the design based on room-by-room heat load calculation?No idea, I don’t think so. We planned an air-to-water heat pump with a supply temperature of 35°C (95°F). That’s why this underfloor heating system was offered/recommended to us. We were roughly explained that the floor loops are laid closer together than in a standard system. If you google "System N16," you’ll find a huge PDF from the company filled with a lot of technical jargon (which I unfortunately don’t understand).
Without looking it up, this seems like a fairly standard system at first glance.
The spacing of the pipes would be interesting to know. It’s either 20cm (8 inches) or 10cm (4 inches).
Does the spacing in your bathrooms look similar?
A supply temperature of 35°C (95°F) is not particularly ideal for a new build. What type of heating do you use? Gas? Air-to-water heat pump? (sorry if you’ve mentioned it somewhere before).
I’m asking because, in an open-plan area, it might not be that bad, but if you combine bathrooms with 20cm (8 inches) pipe spacing, an air-to-water heat pump, and a 35°C (95°F) supply temperature, plus a heating buffer tank, that would be, to put it mildly, suboptimal.

A 35°C (95°F) supply temperature is not particularly good for a new build. What is your heating source? Gas? Air-to-water heat pump? (sorry if you’ve mentioned it before). We heat with an air-to-water heat pump (Tecalor THZ504). The pipe spacing is not explicitly stated in the contract. For the standard underfloor heating, the contract says “pipe spacing according to heat demand.” In the document for the N16 system, there are options PA8 / 16 / 24 / 32, which refer to centimeters, but I don’t know exactly which spacing was used where. I couldn’t check the bathroom myself because when we visited the site, the company was already finished, there were no ladders left, and I didn’t want to enter the house while the cables were still laid and before the screed was applied.

What exactly is meant by “heating buffer tank”? I don’t think we have 20cm (8 inches) spacing, definitely not in the bathroom.
I’m not familiar with the detailed planning of the heating demand calculation; we are building with a building contractor because we are laypeople in these matters.
