I am trying to move radiator into different position, on ground floor . Half the floor is floor is boards the other half is concrete. See pic. I want a vertical rad along the wall. at present it was horizontal rad.

question . how do i route from present position to along the wall?
should i have the pipes come out of the wall or floor ?
I am hoping to use speedfit with plastic pipe and also copper . Want to chase the pipes , except perhaps copper pipes connecting to the TRVs

Please can you help

I prefer wall outlets.

If you are burying fittings in concrete (floor) or plaster (solid walls) it is best to avoid anything other than soldered copper joints wrapped in a protective sleeve.
 
Bracket! No bracket, you use soldered elbows to poke 2 copper pipes out of the wall at the required centres and desired height of the rad valves, cap them, make good the wall around the pipe tails and when all is decorated you 2nd fix the rad.
