ᐅ Is it possible to equip a bedroom in a bungalow without heating?

Hello everyone!

We are currently in the brainstorming phase for our dream home. Now we’re facing the following situation:
The entire house is planned to have underfloor heating and tiled floors, but in the master bedroom, we would like to have wooden floorboards. From what I understand, combining wooden floorboards with underfloor heating isn’t very advisable. So the question arises: do we even need heating in the bedroom? Can a single room in a well-insulated house really get cold? Neither of us mind cooler temperatures, and anyone who has owned a quality duvet knows that 14°C (57°F) isn’t the end of the world 😀

Any opinions or ideas?

Comments and suggestions on my other posts are also welcome 🙂

Best regards
Stefan

Best time – enjoy it 🙂

That’s incorrect. Tiles obviously conduct heat much better than wood. But that doesn’t mean underfloor heating excludes wooden floors (you don’t necessarily have to use thick, solid floorboards).

Yes, you do. If a room isn’t heated (for whatever reason), moisture damage can develop, leading to mold. To cool down, there first needs to be a heat source 😉 Without heating, it would basically be cold.

That’s not the end of the world – but then it probably won’t be a dream home 🙁

Wow! That was fast! Thank you!

Hello,

we have had a waterbed for about 6 years and have never heated the bedroom since, and so far we have seen no signs of moisture damage, mold, or anything like that. You just have to ventilate the room well.

Is the waterbed unheated? Or how is it ensured that the heat provided by it does not contribute to warming the room? (As a direct electric heating method, it is probably not very efficient)

Hi Saruss,
of course the waterbed is heated. And if you leave it uncovered, you can actually use it as a heater. But especially in winter, we keep the bed well covered, so there is very little heat loss.
