Our living room has a concrete floor and traditional stone walls, which I'm currently refurbing with a full strip back.
The central heating pipework enters the room from the ceiling and had a single radiator on an inverted loop.
I'm wanting to put in 3 smaller radiators (room is 3.5m x 7m) and want to avoid the unsightliness of three pairs of pipes coming down the walls one for each radiator (i.e. three inverted loops fed by pipework in the ceiling joists).
My solution is to have one pair of pipes dropping down in the corner of the room and digging out some channels in the concrete floor for the pipework to feed the three radiators. My only worry is that it would never be possible to drain the water out of the pipe in the ground (I would install a driain cock under each radiator to allow the radiators to be drained). However, I can't see that this would ever be a problem?
Cheers
