ᐅ Is underfloor heating possible in a timber frame house?

I have heard that underfloor heating is not a good idea in a timber frame house. Why is that? Friends are currently building a timber frame house with radiant panels on the ceiling. What are the other pros and cons of timber frame construction?

No, underfloor heating is also standard in timber frame construction.

The heating system does not care at all what material the walls are made of.
The flooring, however, can sometimes be crucial.

We have a timber frame construction. The underfloor heating is installed in a wet screed, just like in a "brick on brick" house. There are also dry screed systems, and wall heating is possible in timber frame construction as well.

So what could be problematic about underfloor heating in timber frame construction?

This is the first time I’ve heard of that. At least, there are plenty of wood frame houses with standard underfloor heating without any problems.

So what exactly would be problematic about underfloor heating in timber frame buildings?

I don’t know. Some acquaintances chose a ceiling heating system for their new timber frame house and said underfloor heating might not be the best option. I will ask them about it.
