Hello, Darkhan.
Of course, a radiant heating system is suitable for any one-story house. Moreover, today this type of wiring is considered the most “advanced” and has many advantages over the same tee system. A separate connection of each circuit or heater to the collector allows you to switch the heating in any way: disconnect or connect the consuming equipment at your own discretion, adjust its temperature, replace individual elements without disconnecting others, etc.
The only drawback of beam distribution can be considered an increase in the footage of pipelines, but due to a decrease in the number of fittings, it will be more reliable than the same tee. In any case, if you are ready to bear the additional installation costs, you will be rewarded with a number of advantages that heating provided by the radiation scheme provides.
