Say goodbye to radiators and slippers with our Underfloor Heating systems
Underfloor heating is now one of the most popular ways of heating a home, both for those who are building a new house or extension, as well as with people renovating their homes.
Not only is this an efficient and a really effective method of heating your home, it also adds a sense of luxury — nothing beats the feeling of warmth under your feet.
Underfloor Heating Compared To Radiators
Radiators work by heating the air around them through convection, underfloor heating uses both convection and radiant heat to warm a space.
This combination of heating methods results in a consistent temperature throughout the room so there’s no more shivers from cold spots.
This is achieved by creating separate zones to areas of the house giving you the option to heat different areas to different temperatures.
This in turn makes underfloor heating not only aesthetically pleasing it also means you can remove your radiators.
Underfloor heating is also far more efficient and effective at keeping your home warm whilst also giving you the control and flexibility in regards to how much heat to use in each room.
Can Underfloor Heating Be Retrofitted?
While the best time to carry out underfloor heating installation is undoubtedly during a new build or when building a new extension.
There is no need to rule it out if you were intending to change from radiators.
