Yours sounds like a
wood floor, so the start-up time shouldn't nearly be as critical as for a concrete floor.
Sidebar:
I'm fairly certain I was the first on this forum to live with floor-based radiant heat.
The system was very simple back then, with copper pipe buried in the ground floor (the floor being a poured concrete slab). An oil-fired furnace would circulate hot water through the concrete. We were never uncomfortable, even walking around barefoot in winter! (Copper is quite pricey today, so modern radiant systems rely on plastic tubing).
Thirty years later, we revisited that old homestead and found the system had continued to run flawlessly all that time!
