You can keep independent control of each with the help of a zone valve which will keep energy usage down and in turn lower your running costs.
Underfloor heating off radiator circuit.
But i want to replace some of them with a wet underfloor heating system.
Only if the area isn t greater than 15m2 and the return water temperature limit valve is being used.
The pump can be controlled 2 ways option 1.
Can i run water underfloor heating and radiators in the same property.

Combining radiators and wet underfloor heating systems.
Radiators and underfloor heating.
Where cost is an issue the expense of installing underfloor heating may outweigh the advantages especially if it involves removing concrete floors and re screeding.
It will be necessary to have 2 separate feed and return pipes from the boiler one for the underfloor heating and one for the radiators or you can tee off the primary feed and return pipes before the first radiator.
In houses not occupied during the day underfloor heating s slow warm up and cooling time which can be up to four to six hours may not.
It can even run off of the existing radiator circuit great for new kitchens or living spaces.
If the ufh system is connected to the radiators it can t be controlled individually.
With each circuit controlled on off by a valve in turn controlled by a wiring.

Underfloor heating versus radiators.
It will be suitable for most underfloor heating systems depending on the sub floor.
