Commercial & Domestic Underfloor Heating & Cooling Systems

What is Underfloor Heating?

Underfloor heating is a heating system that involves the installation of underfloor heating panels, such as electric wires or water pipes, directly beneath the floor surface. The system evenly spreads heat throughout the floor, giving a cosy and consistent warmth to the whole living area.

There are two main types of underfloor heating systems:

• Electric Underfloor Heating: In this system, electric heating cables or heating mats are installed under the floor. When electricity passes through the cables or mats, they generate heat, warming up the floor and the surrounding area.
• Water-Based Underfloor Heating: Also known as hydronic underfloor heating, this commercial underfloor heating system uses a network of water pipes installed under the floor. Hot water flows through pipes from a central heat source. The heat source can be a boiler or a heat pump. The purpose of this flow is to warm both the floor and the room.

Underfloor heating is a smart choice for those seeking energy-efficient solutions. By heating the floor surface at a lower temperature than radiators and covering a larger area, underfloor heating helps to reduce energy costs. The even distribution of heat provides uniform warmth throughout the room, ensuring maximum comfort for occupants.

In addition to providing comfortable warmth in the winter, underfloor heating can also offer radiant cooling during the summer months by circulating cool water through the system. This year-round comfort makes underfloor heating a versatile and efficient choice for any indoor climate needs.
