Suspended wood floor, ventilation, wet plinth-heater.

[richardrich79]

Our house is a couple of hundred years old and the ground flloor are pine suspended over a 2' gap. It's all clean and tidy, no rot or damp and we fitted underfloor insulation a couple of years ago.
My question is: I am in the process of converting the rear 'parlor' into the kitchen. I have a Dinplex wet central-heating plinth heater fitted under a 600mm end unit. Is there any point in fitting a floor vent under the heater with the aim of assisting the underfloor airflow, or would it just be a waste of my time? my time costs me nothing.
I'm sorry if this post is in the wrong spot, please feel free to move it if necessary.

Underfloor ventillation should be to the outside, not the inside of the house.

There are grills to outside 1 at back and 1 to the front, there's a pretty good movement of air I was just wondering if it would benefit from a boost in a 'stagnant' corner

No it wont - you'll make any problem worse as warm moist air will be easily able to get in to your 'cold zone' where it will cause condensation.
