Underfloor heating uses much lower water temperatures than radiators to cover a large surface area, helping to improve energy efficiency and save you money on your heating bills. Ensuring your system is balanced by using quality UFH manifolds can help to improve its efficiency.

In comparison to a traditional heating system, where the whole house is heated at once, with underfloor heating each room is controlled by a dedicated thermostat you to set the temperature of each room to your preference.

With water underfloor heating, your home is noticeably warmer and more comfortable underfoot. If your underfloor heating is on, you won’t need slippers or socks because the floor will heat to a cosy temperature.

Water underfloor heating is known to be more energy efficient than conventional radiators because it heats the room from the ground up. Once you turn your heating off, your room will retain its warmth for longer than traditional radiators, which cool down rapidly once the heat supply is switched off. We recommend that homeowners should have an efficiency test performed to assess the overall effectiveness of insulation in their home to ensure optimal heating efficiency.

Water underfloor heating is compatible with almost any floor system, and can work best when it is installed under a solid surface flooring such as stone, tile or wood, as solid floors retain heat for longer. Although it is common for homeowners who have vinyl, carpet, laminated, and engineered wood to install piped UFH systems.

Underfloor heating is much more hygienic than radiators and can benefit allergy sufferers. There are fewer drafts generated by convection and movement of air, which lowers dust and dust mites in your home.
