Water Underfloor Heating

Warm water underfloor heating (UFH) is suitable for most properties, whether building from new or undertaking a renovation.

Water underfloor heating pros

• Is often the number one choice for someone building their own home. It is simple to install, affordable and very efficient.
• Can be installed in renovation projects – there is absolutely no need to dig up the existing floor!

  Is fitted directly on top of an existing floor, for minimal disruption. They are low profile, to maximise floor-to-ceiling space, and offer high heat outputs to suit older buildings or rooms with large windows and bi-fold doors.

• Can be installed on any floor of a property, from basements right up to loft conversions.

• Building an extension or renovating a kitchen? Water underfloor heating is a good option for single spaces, too.

Underfloor heating benefits

• Warm, heated floor

One of the main benefits of underfloor heating systems is how they feel. As the heat gently emits upwards from the floor, it makes usually cold floors warm to the touch. Another advantage of UFH is that it produces an even warmth, eliminating any cold spots or draughts that are common with radiators.

• Underfloor heating efficiency

Warm water underfloor heating uses far lower flow temperatures than a radiator system, and because it covers a much larger surface area it is still able to heat the room effectively. For this reason, UFH is around 25% more efficient than radiators.

• Hidden heating solution

Underfloor heating systems are ‘invisible’ as the tube is hidden beneath the floor. This frees up wall space, ideal for open plan living and rooms such as kitchens where space is at a premium.

• Underfloor heating is safe

Underfloor heating has no exposed hot or sharp edges – a safe option for young children and the elderly. UFH is great for allergy sufferers as it provides warmth free from draughts and dust movements that can aggravate conditions.
