Underfloor heating popularity is on the rise

Underfloor heating is becoming increasing popular and there are very good reasons why this is the case. This form of heating, heats from the floor up, thus allowing an even distribution of heat and maximising comfort levels. Radiators only offer localised heat and normally need to run at a much higher temperature. Heat from radiators convect directly to ceiling level leaving the temperature at floor level much lower. A concentration of heat at head height can cause discomfort. The smallest temperature difference between the floor and the air above means the system is easy to regulate. With individual room control being a common feature of underfloor heating systems, you can individually adjust temperature settings in each room of the house.

By using underfloor heating you can gain more useable space when compared to traditional heating methods. With underfloor heating, wet floors dry quicker and the peeling of wallpaper and discolouration of paint is prevented. It is also a very cost effective method and can result in a 15-40% energy saving over traditional heating methods. Underfloor heating is quiet and effective and can be used anywhere in the home or even a section of it such as a conservatory or bathroom.
