Underfloor heating is often referred to as ‘wet’ underfloor heating to differentiate it from electric underfloor heating. It is the most suitable method of heat distribution for heat pump systems and requires relatively low flow temperatures. It gives a uniform level of heat throughout the room as it is radiant heat. It also frees up wall space that would usually be taken up by radiators. Contact us for more details.

Unlike radiators which heat the air in their immediate vicinity, underfloor heating produces radiant heat that makes you feel warm. Radiators heat the cold air near the radiators which rises upwards to the ceiling heating the air.

The air will eventually cool down dropping to the floor level where it will be heated by the radiator again, creating a circular airflow that provides heat. Underfloor heating and the radiant heat emitted from the floor bring warmth to the floor level and provides more even heat distribution than conventional heating methods. This means that the entire floor works as a giant radiant heater-heating people rather than objects meaning that there is no risk of overheating and energy wastage.
