The floor of my basement flat is concrete with loose wooden boards on top. This means there's litte insulation and already starting to get cold - I'm dreading winter! It's an old victorian property, and the radiators and heating pipes are very much in the way.
So, I am thinking I need to put some insulation and a proper floor. Looking about, it seems I could put underfloor heating at the same time and be done with the ugly radiators and heating pipes. But I don't know how to make a choice between electric and water-based system, or have an idea just how much work installation (floor and heating) would be.
Also, although I like the idea of tiles throughout, my friend suggested that it would present problems when I come to sell, because most people don't want tiled living-room or bedroom floors. Would you agree?
I really know very little about all this at the moment. I'd appreciate suggestions of where I should start looking, so I can come back with some more specific questions!
Thanks, Chris.
