Maintainability
Maybe you should not stop here for long. What’s on the mind, then the lighter, cheaper to repair. Radiator, you can also repackage, add or remove sections (if section), replaced by more modern and efficient. Underfloor heating is done once and for all. And you have to hope that your contractor knew what he was doing, and the warm floor will bring you joy.
Inertia
The inertia of the one or other heating systems, as an advantage, and disadvantage. Choose for yourself. Warm floors are more inertial than radiators. If you become too hot, you reduce the temperature of the coolant and radiator system if you feel the results after 0.5-1h, then heated floor in 3-5h. If you become cold, then the exact opposite. Radiators will warm faster. At least they can and put his feet to keep warm. And on the floor, will have to wait.
Interior
One of the main advantages of underfloor heating is the absence of radiators (and I always thought that the warm floors and was created as an alternative to radiators). Indeed, the room looks “cleaner” without a white boxes under the windows. But there are other limitations. You will have to abandon carpets (with the exception of the large rooms 60m2, it will show the calculation of floor heating), limit the amount of furniture in the room to a minimum, and the remaining furniture should be on high legs, and preferably with natural materials. This is due to heat transfer area of ??the warm floor. The less, the colder the room, and raise the temperature, like heat sinks can not be, it is at the limit of comfort.
Natural materials when heated emit less (or do not emit) hazardous substances than furniture made of particleboard, MDF and plastic. You may not even feel the smell, just slight dizziness, pain in the temples, nausea during long-term presence in these rooms. I immediately answer those who argue me on this, such as: the temperature is lower than the radiator, and therefore less evaporation. First, near the radiator or put furniture. Otherwise, why should he, along with the window closed cabinet? Second: The number of evaporation depends not only on temperature but also the surface area with which they evaporate. And considering the convection floor heating throughout the area of ??the premises, this can not be avoided. Of course, the concentration of vapors may be within normal limits but do not forget about the body’s ability to collect it all and at one time, the concentration in the body may exceed even normative. It all depends on your body.
