What is underfloor heating and how can it help me?
Underfloor heating is now becoming increasingly more popular addition to many people’s homes whether it’s a new build, renovation or updating your current heating system. With underfloor heating you can heat your home more efficiently that traditional radiators, with the heat coming from ground level and rising up heating all the space quickly with a balanced combination of radiant and confected heat.
Underfloor heating comes in two form water and electrical, the water system works with warm water circulated from your boiler, when the room stat calls for heat the water passes through valves and then onto the manifold where the water is circulated through continuous lengths of pipe embedded in the floor, that run at a lower water temperature (typically 50°C) than the radiators (70°C).
Electrical underfloor heating uses the electrical resistance of a cable in the form of a basic cable, a “ribbon” cable, or a loosely woven mesh mat for ease of installation, to create a heating effect, and therefore provide a source of low temperature heat, spread across the entire surface area of a floor and electric underfloor heating is easier to install than water as it requires less instillation than water underfloor heating which requires pipes to be installed.
The benefits of underfloor heating are a reduced cost of your heating bills by at least 20% as well creating better air quality for those who suffer with allergies, you will also find a noticeable difference when walking around your home especially in rooms where the floor was always very cold like kitchens and bathrooms.
