underfloor heating is the best and most efficient way i belive

quite a high outlay at first though

i always find the tiled floors and all windows design make em cold, heat the floor and let the heat rise

i can see why you are posting now, youve just tiled it and now you are feeling the cold

open the door if it joins the front room and see just what a difference it makes to the whole temp of the house

looks like your gonna have to use the pikey radiators and stick some bacofoil behind em to save 20p a year
