Underfloor heating

flamboyant_hawking profile image

We are planning a house renovation, and I thought it would be handy to have the underfloor heating throughout. There are articles online stating that is not advisable if there's a risk of developing blood clots. The architects think that providing the size of the area the temperature won't need to be particularly high to keep the room warm. I was wondering if anyone here has a first-hand experience or more info on the topic.

Wow I would need to look fr scientific research evidence. Dobthey have viable sources and not just that if some one is taking thinners why is it likely to occur? Personally I think there’s no substance . There needs to be several large studies to prove this before I would tske it seriously.

On long term anticoagulation for clotting disorder and for last 20 years lived in a house with underfloor heating and have never been advised or had any episodes relating to the installation. As advised previously, the frames of reference here need to be carefully looked at, I would only consider clinical/science based studies to inform my decision making.

I had underfloor heating installed a while ago, and while it’s great for keeping the house warm, I did notice a bit of an impact on my legs. The heat can sometimes cause them to feel itchy or extra sensitive. I made sure to check how it affected other things in the house too, like skirting and architrave mdfskirtingworld.co.uk/ , since heat can sometimes cause materials to expand slightly.
