Just about to move into our new home which has an outbuilding ill be kitting out as a games/cinema room.
the main room in the outbuilding will be around 16 SqM
Im going to need to install some heating, but I have a bit of a quanry;
The building is close to the house, only seperated by a single drive-way....so not a huge distance. I cant decide between wet and dry underfloor.
1. The boiler is a bloody distance away, at the complete oposite side of the house. So im thinking that the cost and hassle to get wet UFH in there is going to be probibative. I could be wrong, but from what I have read, a plumber would need to run copper all the way from the boiler location.
2. As an alternative, I have thought about installing a small boiler, and then wet underfloor. The gas meter is actually inside the outbuilding.
3. Third alternative, and certainly the easiest, just install electric underfloor. My only concern with this is that the room will have daily use, and I want good warmth without worrying about crazy costs.
4. I guess an easier option to connect to the main boiler would be to just extend the existing piping under the driveway to the outbuilding, and install radiators....although I know this could load issues with the boiler.
Be interesting to know what three options you guys think I should go with from the limited informatioon at hand. I think Id prefer the wet UFH...and maybe I thinking its more complex that it is... just the distance to the boiler is bothering me.
Cheers guys.
