I have central heating with a condensing combi boiler and I'm thinking of installing underfloor heating in the bathroom just to make it a bit more comfortable and cleaner.
The bathroom has a suspended timber floor. The floor area to be covered would be very small, roughly a square metre. (The total area is larger but it's taken by the bathtub, toilet and washbasin.)
That's about the same as the area of the current radiator, so I reckon the UFH could run at the same temp (and on the same circuit) as the rest of the central heating.
Would it be worthwhile installing wet UFH (and removing the radiator) or should I keep things unchanged, or install electric UFH to supplement the centrally-heated radiator (that way I would benefit from the separation of the 2 forms of heating - the ease of thermostatic control, latency being less of an issue, etc.)? What would you suggest?
