Underfloor heating works by pumping warm water through pipes laid into the floor of the room and will heat the area more efficiently due to the larger surface area of the floor requiring much lower water temperatures to warm the room as the heat rises.
Underfloor heating is suitable for use with a wide range of floor construction including;
- Solid floors
- Suspended floors
- Floating floors
Benefits include;
- Comfort – heat rises uniformly from the floor rather than having warm air pockets around radiators
- Aesthetics – complete freedom of interior design as wall space is not taken up with radiators
- Low maintenance – no need for manual operations such as bleeding or painting of radiators
- Cost effective – lower water running temperatures require less energy
Overboard Heating
An overboard heating system is a solution for a retrofit underfloor heating installation and is suitable to accommodate a wide variety of floor coverings including carpets, tiles, wooden and laminate flooring
