Hi all

Some advice please from the plumbers.

I am fitting a new towel radiator in the bathroom.

I want to extend approx 10m of the pipework (using plastic pipe with insulation underneath) to the towel radiator to get a cheap underfloor heating system (based on the idea that the floor gets nice and warm in other rooms due to radiator pipes being underneath). My finished flooring will be 18mm plywood covered in vinyl.

I have a condensing combi boiler, sited in the bathroom.

My question is, should I connect the 2 ends of the underfloor pipework directly to

A: both ends to the flow pipes leading to the towel radiator, ie it has to go round the floor before reaching the radiator.
B: one end to the flow pipe leading to the radiator and one end to the return pipe coming from the radiator
C: both ends to the return pipe of the radiator.

Any advice would be great as to which would be most suitable.

Thanks.
