Underfloor heating systems have existed since Roman times and remain an incredibly efficient and pleasant way to heat the home. Contrary to popular belief installing underfloor heating in an existing property is not complex, time-consuming or costly. Combined with themal insulation such as double glazing and lost insulation, underfloor heating provides a more efficient and evironmentally friendly option than radiators. As well as more even warmth in your home you will save money in the long run from lower heating bills.

Why have underfloor heating?

Simple - Modern underfloor heating provides many advantages over traditional radiator based systems. Where large warm surfaces, such as the floor exist, it is possible to achieve comfortable conditions with a cooler air temperature, making underfloor heating more energy efficient and comfortable than traditional radiator systems. This results in a greater feeling of freshness and will result in lower heat loss from the building and consequently lower energy costs.

It is more comfortable to have a constant, evenly distributed temperature of 20 - 24 degrees Centigrade, than it is to have a single high temperature heat source such as a radiator or fire along a wall of the room. The radiant heat from the floor also reduces the constant air circulation and resulting cold drafts and dust.
