JohnMo Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProDave Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 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" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
