Well I did not instal UFH pipes under kitchen cupboards, stairs, toilets, basins shower trays and anything fixed to the floor.

We didn't install in these places.

 

Under beds.

Under fitted bedroom furniture

Under kitchen units.

Store room.

Under bathroom furniture.

In hall or utility, as all other room piping passes through hall and utility.

If you are having a larder definitely not under there.

 

I found no point whatsoever in a hall or landing in a modern house, they get plenty of heat from surrounding rooms and almost never turned on.

Showers

WC Pans

Baths

Built in furniture 

Kitchen Cabinets

Staircases

Larders

 

Everywhere else is fine and tend to self regulate when you put other things on top of them anyway.

Above the floor 😀

Also, if you are building a well insulated, airtight house to close to passive house standards, you will probably find you don't need any heating upstairs.  We have no heating in the bedrooms and just a small area of UFH in the bathrooms to avoid "cold feet"

In addition to the above, we didn't put any pipework in the location of our freestanding fridge/freezer.

Anywhere where you think that you might need to put a screw in the floor.

In addition to the above, we didn't put it under:

1/ the wine rack.

2/ the cat's litter tray
