Features and Benefits
There are a number of features and benefits that occur from underfloor heating.
Heat Radiation
Firstly see the main differences between traditional radiator heating and underfloor heating:
Plus more:
- Space & Economics - Every square metre of your home can be fully utilised and the cost for our system is very similar to a radiator system.
- Hygiene - No dust and the underfloor heating will help to reduce house dust mites which is a benefit to asthma sufferers. Moisture content is too low, to support dust mites.
- Aesthetics & Labour Saving - You can design your home to suit your needs rather than that of your heating engineer. Cleaning of the floors is easier and wet floors dry very quickly. Prevents discolouration of paintwork, peeling of paper etc.
- Silence & Comfort - Radiant heat will provide the highest comfort levels at an even temperature throughout. Compared to radiator systems, there is no noise. No annoying ticking as pipes expand in floor voids.
- Cost effective - It has been proven that energy saving from 15-40% can be achieved with underfloor heating.
- Ease of control - Small temperature between the floor surface and the air above means the system is practically self regulating.
