Underfloor heating or radiators - which is best in loft conversion?

by **Mcuriousity** » Sun Jun 22, 2014 8:37 am

In the middle of doing our loft conversion, always wanted underfloor heating up there but plumber has told us he doesnt think huge increase in cost is justifiable - obviously it comes down to our choice at end of the day but i would have hoped having underfloor heating vs radiators might add something to property value, as well as saving on wall space!

What do others think? Will be approx £1.5-£2k for underfloor plumbed in system...

Electric underfloor heating may be the answer if you are really set on underfloor heating. We have a page on this on the website

There is also the option of skirting radiators which are considerably less obtrusive than panel rads.
