We are building a double storey side extension which will create an L-shaped family room / kitchen.
Realistically we'll need at least two big radiators - but these potentially get in the way of how we can use the room.
Our builder has suggested underfloor heating but I'm not sure. Does it work well to heat a large open plan space (rather than just heating the floor)? And what flooring should we consider to work best with it?
I am also worried that having UFH plus flooring will raise the level of the floor too much, creating a step up into the family room. The first bit of the room is our existing kitchen, and the concrete floor is already flush with the finished floor in our hallway. Anything more than lino will make a noticeable step up.
Any advice (or comments on the plan!) would be much appreciated.
