What type of underfloor heating is best?

​

How Does underfloor heating work?

Underfloor heating essentially works by turning the floor area into a giant, efficient and invisible heat emitter. Heating tubes or cables are installed beneath the floor, which heat up, to warm the room from the ground up.

​

Underfloor heating is usually connected to a boiler. The boiler heats up water and circulates it through a series of pipes in the floor. The heat from the pipes then warms up the floor, which in turn heats up the room. You can also connect the system to a heat pump.

​

How is underfloor heating efficient?

At least 25% more energy efficient: UFH will heat your home without the need for any additional heating. UFH covers a large surface area, it uses lowerwater temperatures than a radiator and is more efficient – up to 40% more efficient when paired with a heat pump than radiators.
