If your house is well insulated then UFH floor temps will seldom exceed
30°C except where covered up. Where you wont be walking on them anyway.

At full winter pelt, my floors are only warm to the touch under the
sofas and the rugs. Stuff that is directly exposed to the air is barely
warm at all. Except where I have ALL the house UFH pipes running down
one short corridor. THAT is a bit warm. But never HOT.
I think you don't appreciate the difference between a square meter of
radiator at 50°C and 30 sq m of floor at 30°C..

into what the world ought to be, whilst we fail utterly to deal with
what it actually is.
