Water under floor heating has many advantages over traditional radiator heating. When the pipework is incorporated within the screeded sub-floor at the outset, the installation costs are no more than a radiator system; coupled with the added savings on operating costs, the payback time for a water underfloor heating system is financially viable.
How do underfloor heating systems work?
Underfloor heating works by pumping a controlled flow of warm water from any heat source through plastic tubing embedded in the floor. Because the emitting area is large, sufficient warmth is provided even on a cold winter day with no need for supplementary heating.
