Underfloor Heating - Introduction

Good for the environment, Financially comparable to install and cost efficient to run. Three important points that makes Underfloor heating the obvious choice into todays environment.

The Concept & Advantages of Underfloor Heating
Underfloor heating uses a radiant heat design to gently heat the room from the bottom up.

General facts on radiant heating
Thermal comfort can be described as the point at which the human body feels at ease and comfortable with the surrounding environment. There are many factors that influence the way people feel the temperature, such as direct sunshine humidity, draught and how evenly the temperature is distributed. With radiant heating the feeling of thermal comfort can be increased, as the temperature is stable and there is no draught. It is also a method that satisfies other senses, too. It is completely invisible and very silent.

Here’s how it works
Underfloor heating systems circulate warm water through pipeing embedded in the floor of your home. The heat radiates up through the floor, warming the people, furnishings and air in the room. The warmth stays down around where the people are, not up at the ceiling or lost to the outdoors every time a door or window is opened. It’s a comfortable, even heat where cold spots and drafts are eliminated.

Comfort
Underfloor Heating heats from the floor upwards allowing an even distribution o heat and maximising comfort levels. With radiators, heat rises above head height and can cause discomfort.

Ease of Control
The small temperature difference between the floor and the air above means the system is practically self-regulating. And with individual room control, you can regulate the temperature of each room in your home.

Cost effectiveness
Underfloor Heating can result in a 15-40% energy saving over traditional heating methods.

Underfloor Heating helps to reduce the number of dust mites in your home because moisture content levels are too low. This can aid sufferers of asthma and other breathing complications.
