Underfloor Heating

Underfloor heating is often thought as a way to combat cold bathroom floors but it can be used all throughout the home. Underfloor heating can be laid in both new and existing homes and, once installed; usually no other heating is required. It can be laid under almost any flooring surface, is energy-efficient, and makes the home much more comfortable during the colder months. Underfloor heating is low-maintenance, warmer at the feet than at the head, and is completely invisible – meaning that the home’s décor is not affected. It also reduces the amount of dust being circulated through the air, making it great for people who suffer from allergies.

Types of Underfloor Heating

Above the slab underfloor heating systems are used where the slab or the sub floor already exists and usually comes in cable form, although it is also available as a heating film. Above the slab heating systems are great because they can be used with most flooring systems, are relatively cheap to install, will not be damaged by a tilers or other flooring professional and can be controlled using a thermostat, giving you the precise amount of heat that you need.
