FAQs
Underfloor heating is a method of heating a space by installing heating elements beneath the floor. It radiates heat upwards, providing a consistent and comfortable temperature throughout the room.
Underfloor heating can be either electric-based, using heating wires, or hydronic-based, using heated water flowing through pipes. The heat from these elements rises and spreads evenly across the floor and into the room.
Underfloor heating provides a more uniform heat distribution, is more energy-efficient, takes up no wall space, and can be healthier as it reduces the circulation of dust and allergens.
While it will be much easier to install during new construction, underfloor heating can also be retrofitted into existing homes during renovation projects. Special considerations may be needed depending on the existing floor structure.
Yes, underfloor heating can be controlled just like normal central heating, through the use of thermostats and timers. This allows you to still adjust temperatures and timings accoring to your preferences and needs.
