Default Central heating using radiators in an open plan house with high ceilings

This would reflect the informaion given to me by a friend who has
recently built a new house and installed UFH. She says that if
given the choice again she would choose rads - with our climate
she finds that on many days throughout the year she would not
require any heating during the day. She would just like to turn
it on as required [ snip ]
Does our climate really make UFH a viable option? I'm coming to
the opinion that it may not - ok we have a long winter but it is
often a mild one and certainly a changable one.


I hate UFH. It is horrible. Ghastly. I would not like to live in
a house which has it.
