Underfloor heating has become a welcome luxury to many families – banishing the days of chilly feet and providing the family pet with a new warm place to lie.

How Heated Air Moves

Depending on its temperature, the warmer the air is the faster it will rise (think of hot air balloons!). This explains why attics and rooms near the top of your home are often uncomfortable and warm- and this also explains why your feet can feel chilled while the rest of you appears warm.

Underfloor heating takes advantage of this unique quality of heated air by releasing the head at ground level and allowing it to travel up, thereby making the house warm both evenly and comfortably.

Energy and Efficiency Savings For Your Home

Imagine saving up to 15% on your next heating bill. This can easily become a reality if an underfloor heating system is installed – as it provides precise temperature controls to help you monitor your home’s heating circulation.

Health Benefits From Underfloor Heating

Another benefit of underfloor heating is that it requires significantly less air flow to circulate the heat, which means less travelling dust in the home. Not only can underfloor heating help reduce the symptoms associated with allergies or asthma, it also reduces the time it takes to clean your home.

The Many Design Benefits Of Underfloor Heating

For those looking for a heating system that doesn’t intrude on the design of their home, underfloor heating is about as hidden as any heating system can be. Given that it is tucked away underfoot, there is no evidence of a heating system in your home and no difficult and awkward systems to build your home around.

How is Underfloor Heating Installed? Here are the Several Steps Explained

Underfloor can be installed using three distinct methods:

1. Suspended Joist Floor – In order to obtain even heating on the floor, this method uses a combination of insulation and sand-cement mix to ensure even heating.
2. Structural Slab Floor – This method is suited to any building and allows for the floor and heating system to be installed in one operation.
3. Screeded or Floating Floor – The most popular and widely used method – floating floor or screeded floor, is preferred by most builders.

Other Uses for Underfloor Heating

There are several innovative ways that underfloor heating can improve your home’s energy efficiency. Here are several examples:

• Underfloor heating can keep terraces, pavements, ramps, steps, ramps, and roof gutters free of snow and ice.
• Frost damage on heating pipes can be protected.
• Bathrooms are kept mist free and mirrors remain clear.

For those looking to make their home as energy efficient as possible, underfloor heating is an excellent option to help reduce heating loss. Underfloor heating not only ensures that your home will remain at a comfortable temperature year round, but it is also a great solution for those looking to reduce their heating bill each month.
