Underfloor Heating Systems and Flooring – Farnham 2013
Underfloor heating is a great alternative to traditional radiators or hot-air heating systems.
Underfloor heating systems are a modern feature allowing you to enjoy the luxury of warm floors during the cold winter, even providing a good selling point to push up your property’s resale price.
A large system can do away with the need for radiators, offering extra space and a clean, decorative finish.
Underfloor heating systems are thought to be a more efficient way of heating a room – where that room’s walls, doors and windows are well insulated – because of the way the heat is distributed.
Radiators rapidly heat the area immediately around it, with the heat rising and slowly distributing around the rest of the room. An underfloor system heats a larger surface area from the floor upwards at a lower temperature, resulting in a more consistent temperature.
