Underfloor Heating Systems

Underfloor Heating Systems

If you need to improve the heating potential of your property, or are installing heating in a conversion or new build, then UFH systems are the way to go. Offering enhanced energy-efficiency whilst warming your property to a pleasant temperature, underfloor heating systems provide both domestic and commercial properties with the perfect solution. London Underfloor Heating Suppliers are pleased to offer the design and supply of your UFH systems and are ready to hear more about your next project.

Underfloor Heating In Operation

Underfloor heating systems have become a favourable alternative to a conventional radiator setup, and they’re not difficult to install either. When you opt for underfloor heating, you simply plumb the pipes in on top of your current flooring, which are then covered with a layer of heating floorboards. It’s not necessary to excavate down to the foundations of the property to implement your heating at ground level. Instead, you’ll only need to account for a small build-up height which is extremely convenient during your renovations.

If you are installing underfloor heating systems from scratch, perhaps in a new-build property, or a garage or conservatory extension, then this is straightforward too. Your heating boards can be discreetly mounted within the floor screed, which will sit on top of your insulation. In this scenario, the build-up will take you to around 200mm.

Consistent Distribution Of Heat

Energy-efficiency is a major selling point of underfloor heating systems. In comparison to a room layout which relies on radiators to emit heat from single locations, your UFH systems are able to distribute a constant warmth across the entire surface area of your room. This will keep rooms in either domestic or commercial premises at an ambient temperature and eradicates the possibility of cold spots forming. In turn, this decreases the potential for black mould or damp to form due to the consistency of the heat output. Even if there is a change in airflow, for example if a window opens, then you can expect the room to retain its warmth.

Underfloor Heating Superior To Radiators

Radiators can be eliminated entirely from your design when you install UFH systems – there’s no need for both. This will be welcome news for designers who have long tried to dress up or disguise radiators within their interior décor. But radiators aren’t just an eyesore, they have also been linked with allergies and respiratory health conditions such as hay fever, asthma and eczema due to their ability to attract dust. As the inner mechanisms of radiators are so difficult to clean, this allows them to harbour a large volume of airborne particles which negatively impact the indoor air quality of a property. When you opt for underfloor heating systems, you’ll find this option to be healthier and more hygienic than radiators. Maintenance is simple as you just mop, steam, wipe or vacuum across the top of your flooring. There is no potential for your pipes or underfloor heating boards beneath to pick up any dust, so you can rest assured that your UFH systems are zero-maintenance.

Underfloor Heating Systems For Any Space In Your Property

UFH systems needn’t be confined to the ground floor of your home or place of work. This type of heating can work equally well in upper-levels too so long as the floor is completely flat and installed on top of quality insulation. Don’t be tempted to plumb in ufh pipes on top of an uneven surface, as this will affect the output of your underfloor heating systems. An imbalanced installation wouldn’t emit a consistent distribution of warmth. But if you have an irregular floor surface, then this can be easily corrected before you implement your UFH systems.

The cost of UFH Systems

If you’re interested in underfloor heating systems for your next project, then one of your main considerations will be coming up with an appropriate budget. The cost of implementing UFH systems in a home or commercial property is largely dependent on the size of the space you wish to heat and the amount of time it takes to install it. You may wish to install underfloor heating systems in a single room, or as part of a multi-room renovation project. Our underfloor heating systems are versatile and can work with spaces large or small, depending on your requirements. You can expect to pay from as little as £10 for low profile overlay panels measuring 600mm x 800mm which come as a minimum order of 30 panels, covering more than 14 square metres.

The installation of underfloor heating is a significantly lower cost than plumbing in traditional heating with excavation through to the foundations. Equally, you won’t need to pay for fire-proofing, as underfloor heating boards are non-hazardous and non-flammable.

Cost and Energy Savings

When you look at the costs involved in implementing underfloor heating systems, once you’ve accounted for the initial outlay, you’ll soon start to reap the benefits of this energy-efficient heating solution. Property owners with UFH systems can expect to save up to 20% per year in heating costs. A programmable thermostat to be used alongside your underfloor heating will allow you to extend your savings even further.
