Living in the Northern Iris climate weather is somewhat unpredictable! So when I install my underfloor heating in a kitchen I was contemplating having a rad as well for cold snap times when heat required quicker. Is this advised or not?
 
UFH would be best left on during the winter, even on its lowest setting, otherwise you will have heat the slab each time before you feel the heat. If you fit a rad, it defeats the object of ufh IMO. Also depends on kitchen wall space. Ask your missus, its safer.. :lol:
 
I wondered about those kick boards heaters which use the HW but have a fan??
 
A supplementary kickboard heater plumbed into your primaries would be a good idea as they provide quick heat especially on a cold tiled floor.

Myson do one which has remote controls saving you having to bend down to turn the fan on, it also stops little fingers playing with the controls too.
