Hi Folks, thanks for taking the time to read. I'm buying my first home it's about 30 years old and has the original wooden floors downstairs but these are still covered so I don't fully know the conditon. At the very least we would like to sand/varnish these floors for the entire ground floor - I have a carpenter friend who can advise/assist.

The real issue is I would love UFH and am only starting to look at the options. Have searched the forums and saw a lot of great advice largely pertaining to installing a new floor whether it be wood or tiles.

Question/issue......
However, if I want to retain the existing wooden floor and install UFH does this make sense both financially and practically i.e is this a non starter, just plain silly or could this have some merit. BTW - the reason for retaining the existing wooden floor is mainly financial.

Thanks in advance:)
 
Update : the answer was that the entire wooden floor would need to come up as the UFH requires a new concrete flooring. When taking these floors up it would be impractical to reuse them due to the likelihood of damage during lifting them.
