Underfloor heating Systems

Overview

•  Very significant savings are achievable with Underfloor Heating, through the entire floor being heated to 18-20C, rather than a radiator being heated to 65C+. This lower operating temperature is much more efficient and cost-effective.

•  In an Underfloor Heating situation, thermostats can be set at 2-3C lower, representing significant additional savings, since every one degree temperature reduction means a significant reduction on a fuel bill.

•  An ideal indoor climate is created through an underfloor heating system, with the air temperature being always higher at floor level and decreasing steadily towards the ceiling.

•  The high radiant component of underfloor heating, together with the temperature gradient of the heat output, provide a degree of thermal comfort within a well insulated building which far surpasses that of conventional heating.

•  Radiant heat is the most direct form of energy, creating the gentle feeling of warmth experienced on a warm, sunny, summer's day.

•  Underfloor heating is an ideal means of distributing the lower temperature heat generated by any of the heat pump systems.
