Why Underfloor heating

  • It is good for the environment, financially comparable to install and cost effective to run
  • Wet UFH systems circulate warm water through piping 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 is comfortable, even heat where cold spots and drafts are eliminated
  • 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
  • UFH can result in a 15-40% energy saving over traditional heating methods
  • You can gain more usable space compared to traditional heating methods
  • Compared to radiators there is no noise with UFH
  • It helps to reduce the number of dust mites in your home as the moisture content levels are too low, therefore can aid sufferers of asthma and other breathing complications
