Hello
we are currently building a new semi-detached house
I am considering installing underfloor heating in the basement.
Our basement comes standard with conventional radiators under the stairs in the utility and storage rooms. As a special request, we will (red line) partition off this area as a separate room (of course with a door). The two lines at the back of the room will be ventilation slots to allow airflow since the other two rooms have windows.
The new room is intended as a pantry/storage room, and the storage room might be used as a workout room.
I have a few questions:
1: What do you think about installing underfloor heating throughout the entire basement? What are the advantages and disadvantages? The additional cost is 2700€.
2: In the underfloor heating package, the two rooms in the middle (hallway and newly partitioned room) will share a single heating circuit manifold, meaning the underfloor heating would be controlled by one thermostat and would heat both rooms. The underfloor heating would run beneath the new wall (a sand-lime brick wall).
My option would be, for an additional cost (amount unknown), to give the new room its own heating circuit, or to omit underfloor heating in that room altogether (which would of course reduce the extra cost of 2700€), or to have the hallway and new room share one heating circuit.
What would you recommend?
