Default Which underfloor heating system?

I live not far from Karndean HQ and we went to visit. The whole place
is floored in the stuff, and it looks really, really good. Of the
options you suggest, if they really are in the same price bracket,
then I've no idea why we're going the Karndean route.


For reference, here are rough prices:

Slates: from £20/sqm
Porcelain (not ceramic) tiles: from £20/sqm
Hardwood: from £20/sqm
Marble tiles: from £30/sqm


Actually, I do know. It's called "option paralysis" - or at least
that's what I call it. The relief that one feels when one makes a
real decision in the face of endless choice is almost as good as ....
In truth, Karndean is hardwearing, easy to clean, easy to maintain,
soft underfoot and attractive.


That's fair enough, I'm not trying to change your mind, I just wondered.


It will be a wet system. So I guess my question is - is there much/
any difference between suppliers of these systems? In fact, is there
a "supplier" per se, given that it's just a system of pipes and mixer
valves.


You want to use decent quality valves, but otherwise as you say the
system is made up of a bunch of components usually rom different
manufacturers.
