Reasoning is that if you are outside with warm feet you can stand the

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.

They use hot water/glycol.
