Hi there, ufh is being installed on the ground floor of a new build highly insulated dormer house, 120m2 on ground floor plus 90m2 on first floor.
The design flow temp will be 40 deg C and I'm thinking of using radiators sized for 40C on the first floor,

Should I consider underfloor heating upstairs?
If so, how much insulation is needed underneath the uf heating pipes upstairs?
Thank you and regards,
 
Will you have enough wall space for rads sized for 40C?
They will be huge..

How do you intend to install the ufh upstairs - deflection plates or similar?

It may be easier to install rads at a flow temp of 70C- 75C for ease of installation.
