Would love underfloor heating as our ground floor gets freezing during the winter. We were discussing this at work the other night and someone said underfloor heating was bad for your feet. As i'm diabetic also and have to be careful i would have thought warm feet were better than cold. Can anyone put me right?
I am not sure but isnt the danger for diabetics (like me) that they sometimes lose feeling in their feet and cant tell if something is too hot or not... but you, as a diabetic wouldnt be walking around barefoot.. would you Besides, I cant imagine underfloor heating would become so hot as to burn your feet at all.. before that happened you would have damaged flooring.. and a sauna!!
