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

Hi All,I would like your opinion on using radiators in an open plan house(new build) with high ceilings. My hall, living room, kitchen anddining area are all open plan with the living area and hall havinghigh ceilings (about 6 meters high). I plan on using a combination ofoil and solid fuel (using a range or wood burner in the kitchen).Will I have a problem heating the large open areas using radiators? Will the heat just go straight to the ceiling? A friend mentionedusing ceiling fans to counteract this - would this be possible?I would appreciate your thoughts on this.Thanks,Dermot.
