1 Underfloor heating systems are cited to be up to 25% more efficient than conventional radiators:
Underfloor heating systems have a large surface area, practically turning the floor of any room into a giant radiator. This means you reduce the flow temperature beyond what is possible withconventional radiator panels (usually to around 40 or even 35deg) without leading to a drop-in room temperature.
This is additionally beneficial to your heat pump, as its more efficient at lower flow temperatures. The better the energy efficient, the lower the running costs.
2 Improved heat distribution:
A radiator will warm the air around it, causing it to rise to the ceiling. When this warm air cools, it will fall to the floor to be warmed again. This is an inefficient means of heating a room, and it also leads to hot and cold spots. Underfloor heating systems provide a much more even distribution of heat.
3 Relatively cheap to install:
For the added luxury of warm feet, lower running costs and better overall heating.
4 Decrease the carbon footprint of your home with an underfloor heating system:
Thanks to their high energy efficiency, underfloor heating systems are an excellent choice for eco home builders.
5 Little maintenance required:
For the added luxury of warm feet, lower running costs and better overall heating.
6 Can be used in virtually any type of floor construction and covering:
Thanks to the sheer variety of additional components that they come with, underfloor heating systems are a viable option for almost any application.
7 Ideal for allergy sufferers:
While radiators cause convection currents to circulate airborne dust around your home, underfloor heating systems radiate heat, making them an ideal choice for homeowners with allergies.
8 Frees up wall space:
An interior designers’ best friend, rooms with underfloor heating are no longer constrained by the radiators dotted around the room.
9 Increase the value of your home:
As the preferred emitter system in the UK, having underfloor heating installed may give your property the extra benefit over others, when it comes to selling.
