One of the biggest benefits of UFH is the feel of the warmth underfoot. It adds a luxurious feel to the home. No more cold tiles or hard flooring.
underfloor heating essentially works by turning the floor area into a giant, efficient and invisible heat emitter. Heating pipes are installed beneath the floor, which heat up, to warm the room from the ground up and they have a digital room thermostat to control.
No cold spots or draughts: The way UFH works, heating from the floor up (giving an even heating profile free from draughts and cold spots), and the controllability of UFH, means that UFH heats rooms perfectly. Warm water is pumped through the pipework, from the manifold, gently warming the floor, creating a comfortable environment.
you would have a thermostat per room or zone to set your preferred temperature. UFH is split into zones, making it more controllable than radiators.
At least 25% more energy efficient: UFH will heat your home without the need for any additional heating. UFH covers a large surface area, it uses lower water temperatures than a radiator and is more efficient – up to 40% more efficient when paired with a heat pump than radiators.
Frees up wall space: Because strong and flexible plastic pipework is buried within the floor, it is a practically invisible heating system. The heart of the system, which is the manifold, is stored away in a cupboard.
Complete interior design freedom: As UFH is hidden away and no space is taken up by radiators in the home, you have more wall space to play with. There are no restrictions on where you can place furniture. No big white radiators to spoil decor.
