Hi, first time on here to ask question, but have read forum on quite a few occasions so thought I might get a good answer to my question
Is live in a relatively new house in remote highlands, with underfloor heating charge by a Wamsler wood burning kitchen range. However this doesn't work properly as was poorly designed and installed to deep within the slab. It takes a huge amount of continuous effort and wood to keep the stove going to supply enough heat to work the underfloor system and even then only a little heat is actually felt within the floor.
We currently run two radiators off the stove as heat sinks, these are controlled by a thermostat but I have manually locked it open so they are on all the time.
So my question....can I add additional radiators to one of these heat sinks, this one is in a downstairs bathroom. Is it possible to add at least one to the next room and two upstairs immediately above the existing one. The heat sink is a tall chrome wall towel radiator and is supply by flow and return pipes from above out of the ceiling. My intention would be to run pipework along the top of the room and through the wall to the next room and fit another tall panel radiator. The two above tee off on a separate lines, in ceiling spaceand put through floor to the radiators.
Any helpful advise would be great
