There’s some real progress here. Underfloor heating and radiators have now been installed in the basement.
Now we just have to wait for the screed [emoji6]. Let’s see if it will happen next week [emoji848].
However, I don’t understand why the shower area in the guest bathroom has insulation installed slightly deeper and there is no underfloor heating. That area will be tiled. I can understand it for the upper floor with the shower tray. I’ll have to talk to our site manager about this tomorrow.

We didn’t have it in our previous rented apartment, so we didn’t install it in our own house either (the underfloor heating was installed as a DIY project).
As someone mentioned here, the tiles are warm by the time you step under the water. That takes a maximum of 3 seconds. And no one can convince me that they stand in the shower that early before the tiles get warm from the water.
The only reason I understand for installing it is if underfloor heating coverage is needed because the rest of the space is so small. But in a bathroom like that, I’d have much bigger issues than cold feet for 1–2 seconds.

We do not have underfloor heating in the shower area. We could have had it at no extra cost. Both the tiler and the heating engineer advised against it because they said that faster drying water would lead to more limescale and water stains.
In the end, you don’t really notice that there is no heating there. The room is warm, and so are the tiles. In fact, water stains appear more quickly in the rest of the bathroom. However, those tiles are anthracite-colored.
