Underfloor Heating
What is underfloor heating?
Underfloor heating can be either a ‘wet’ system that pumps warm water through pipes under the floor, or ‘dry’ system of electric coils placed under the floor. Underfloor heating uses the basic principle of heat rising.
Underfloor heating is often associated with luxury — think plush hotel rooms — and indeed there are few things more luxurious than the feeling of a warm, heated bathroom floor on a cold winter’s day.
An energy-efficient heating solution
Like the best high-end fitting, underfloor heating is hidden away and out of view, doing away with the clutter of radiators. And, due to the even distribution of heat, it is a fairly efficient way to heat a room.
Because radiators heat up the area immediately around them, this ends up being quickly dispersed upwards, and away from the desired area. On the other hand, a good underfloor heating system will heat a larger area.
This means radiators have to work harder for you to feel the effects, and require the water to be at a higher temperature to work effectively.
10 year guarantee
Alternately, underfloor heating works at a lower temperature. It is also possible to install yourself, and works particularly well with tiles and stone — making it a popular choice for bathrooms.
