Hello dear forum members,

In your opinion, is it useful to install underfloor heating in rooms like the guest toilet and the utility room? According to the building specifications, these rooms would not be equipped with it since they are smaller than 8m² (86 sq ft).

Thank you and best regards

If underfloor heating is installed elsewhere with or without radiators, these rooms might risk insufficient heating ;-) The decisive factor is the room heating load = f(RT). On the other hand, increasing the system flow temperature might, depending on the heat source, be energetically inefficient :-) As is often the case, it seems there is no precise basic assessment and planning here! 😕

Thank you, then let's wait for the room heating loads.
