Underfloor heating and walls

[Nygge72]

Hello, if you are going to have underfloor heating in a new house, are you then stuck with the floor plan you made from the start, or can you move/make new walls if you want? I'm thinking if it's easy to puncture the loop?

Considering building a house with an "unfinished" attic that later will be developed into an upper floor. But I'm thinking the floor plan for the upper floor can be on hold until it's time. But if you were to install underfloor heating, do you paint yourself into a corner with the walls? I'm thinking it might be better to run pipes for radiators instead.

Thanks in advance

No, I mean, you can put up an interior wall even if you have water-based underfloor heating, but you need to know where the loops are. It's not fun to screw into a loop as it tends to create that modern indoor waterfall on the floor below.

No, you can install an inner wall even if you have waterborne underfloor heating, but you need to keep track of where the loops are. It's less fun to screw into a loop as it tends to create one of those modern indoor waterfalls on the floor below.

Yes, that's what I'm afraid of. But how close are the pipes usually laid? I think I'm creating problems for myself by having underfloor heating.

Then if you have individual control over the loops, the heat might come to the wrong place.

The loops are placed slightly differently but with a spacing of 15-30 cm. Check what the manufacturer specifies.

Why not install floor heating when you are renovating the attic? Lay a simple subfloor now if you need it.

Why not install underfloor heating when you furnish the attic? Lay a simple subfloor now if you need it.

I have been thinking along those lines with
