Default Underfloor heating as primary heating

A new floor with lots of foam insulation under, and to the sides up to
screed level, forming a tray, will not be cold. The tiles will eventually
heat up with the heating system and not lose heat to the ground beneath.


The problem is that heat rises, so the floor is the last thing to warm up,
unless it forms part of the heating system itself, or there is a heated room
below it.
