Hello dear experts!
I would like to hear your opinions on the topic of underfloor heating. My parents have underfloor heating in the hallway and kitchen of their house. When they built the house, they were told not to install underfloor heating in the bedroom or children’s room, so there is none in those rooms. What do you think about this? Is it true that underfloor heating is not recommended for bedrooms? And if so, why?
Best regards

Baby monitor? 😉 And which child can already get out of bed by themselves but still can’t open doors?
And yes, I have three myself 😉
In general, it is usually beneficial to heat all rooms in a house more or less evenly. The bedroom is then warmed indirectly by the adjacent rooms.

Haha, that question almost certainly comes from someone who doesn’t have kids ^^
Well, because the child might wake up and cry, and then you hear it sooner.
Or because the child wakes up and wants to come into the bedroom but can’t open the door by themselves yet.
There are reasons for that 😉 You guessed wrong. They are 0 and 3 years old. But like @halmi, I was referring to the option of a baby monitor. I can’t sleep well with the bedroom door open, and I don’t have to accept that just because I have a child 😉
Plus the 3-year-old usually comes to us anyway and opens the doors when he wants to change clothes at night…
Regarding the original question:
In the past... things used to be different.
Bedrooms were kept cool because people didn’t spend much time there. Just before going to bed, the room was heated up, then cooled down overnight by keeping the window open.
Back then, we wasted more energy.
Houses without basements had underfloor heating or a return line on the ground floor for cold feet, while it wasn’t needed upstairs.
Nowadays, houses are built so airtight that a room doesn’t cool down quickly. Underfloor heating provides comfortable warmth inside the house without the need for unsightly radiators on the walls.

has no ugly radiators on the walls.There are some nice radiators nowadays; however, they take up space and usually limit the way you can use the room. For me, that's one of the biggest arguments against radiators.
With underfloor heating, you simply have much more space.
Infrared panels have the same drawback. The only exception I accept is a towel radiator.
