Posted By: JonGWith the level of insulation that you describe I would guesstimate (from years of MCS level heat loss calcs) that your heat loss is in the region of 40-45 watts a sqm or less, which puts it at 1600-1800 watts.
It would depend on floor covering, but at circa 40 degrees MWT and 200mm centres with a stone, tile or similar covering the floor would be giving 92 watts a sqm according to CIBSE, which is 3640 watts, with a design room temperature of 20 degrees.
You could easily flex the design for greater output or more efficiency by adjusting MWT and pipe centres, but it is eminently doable.
Depending on your system though, hydraulic separation may be required to accommodate differing flow rates through cylinder coil, rads etc.
UFH doesn't really affect furniture placememt, because it is designed to heat everything in the room, which then also radiates that heat into the air if a differential occurs between the air and the heated thermal mass or masses.
Rugs aren't a good companion though, unless suitably holey.
