UFH for bedrooms on first floor?

[Bemak]

I'm in the middle of a refurb and I'm trying to decide whether I go for rads or UFH for the first floor bedrooms. My preference is for UFH to avoid hanging rads but my plumber thinks that rads would be better as they'll heat the space quicker. I don't disagree, particularly as I would be proposing to have the UFH pipework in pregrooved PLY under an engineered timber floor. I appreciate that the reaction time would be slower as the timber floor above the pipework would act as an insulator - but I'm not sure if that would be a major problem as we would typically only have the bedrooms at 19 degrees anyway. 

 

Just wondering if anyone has UFH in a similar scenario and how its working out? If you had the chance to redo it, would you go for rads instead?

What is your heat source?

Why wouldn't you be running weather compensation no matter what the heat source - so on 24/7 ticking away?

 

If gas assume you are going priority domestic hot water, not S or Y plan?
