Reasoning is that if you are outside with warm feet you can stand the
temperature of the rest of you better, also it would dry off quickly after
rain, which would be a big advantage for us as we have dogs that run in and
out with wet paws.

During the summer the sun warms the bricks and after sundown they let the
heat go again and feel warm and pleasant for a while, if that was prolonged
by electric heating that would be quite an advantage, I think.

Might be worth investigating the heating systems used under
Premiership football pitches.
