Underfloor Heating

Underfloor Heating provides heating in a room from the floor up for consistent, efficient warmth and works extremely well with renewable heating systems.

How Underfloor Heating works

Underfloor heating systems work by distributing warm water through a network of pipes within the floor construction or beneath the finished floor. This heat is carefully controlled by individual room thermostats to keep a constant ambient temperature throughout your home.

Benefits of investing in Underfloor Heating

Comfort

Underfloor Heating provides a substantially more consistent and even heat in your home. There is a big difference in the efficiency of a conventional radiator system in comparison, which loses a considerable amount of heat.

Effective Zoned Heating

Underfloor Heating gives you the ability to control your heating around your lifestyle which is paramount in achieving efficiency. Each room will have its own thermostat delivering precise heating to the room. This means that you can have your kitchen set to 18 degrees and your living room to a cosy 21 degrees. This level of control cannot be matched by ‘traditional’ radiator systems.

Aesthetics

You can put your furniture where you would like it without the restriction of radiators, meaning you can make your home even more personal. The lack of radiators means that your home will feel like it has more space.

Long Lasting

The pipework is not susceptible to rusting like radiators so you will not eventually find cold spots caused by the build-up of sludge over time that can occur in radiators.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Underfloor Heating cheaper to run and more efficient than radiators?

Yes, especially with Heat Pumps, it can be up to 40% cheaper to run, and is much more controllable, and therefore efficient, than traditional radiators.

What is the warm up time and how hot will it get?

This depends on the thermal conductivity of your floor coverings – stone and tiles, for example, are excellent conductors whilst carpet is not as efficient. However, with the Underfloor Heating working efficiently, the floor will always feel comfortable to walk, sit or lie on.

Can it be used with different floor types?

You can use any type of flooring types – from carpet, or tiles through to stone flags, or wood.

Can Underfloor Heating be installed in conservatories and bathrooms?

Yes, it can; Underfloor Heating is a popular addition to many bathrooms (often with the addition of a heated towel rail), conservatories, and even wet rooms.

Can I use Underfloor Heating on upper floors?

Absolutely! There are a whole range of solutions that cover all different floor constructions.

How to use Underfloor Heating?

Underfloor Heating runs at a lower temperature than radiators and each zone is controlled independently. The underfloor heating heats up the screed which releases the heat in a continuous fashion throughout the day and evening.

Is my property suitable for Underfloor Heating?

Almost every property can have Underfloor Heating installed; newer houses have strict regulations on insulation levels, and are, therefore, eminently suitable, whilst older properties can make use of effective retrofitting solutions that can be fitted under your existing floor structure.
