Underfloor heating, often referred to as warm water underfloor heating systems or simply wet underfloor heating, has become an increasingly popular way of heating your home in recent years. With advancements in renewable energy and ground source heat pumps, the technology behind these systems has improved drastically, making underfloor heating an effective and affordable way to ensure warm floors beneath your feet.

Underfloor heating offers numerous benefits over traditional, sometimes bulky radiator systems:
More energy efficien
Underfloor systems, particularly the water systems, circulate hot water via water pipes laid beneath the floor rather than through radiators mounted on walls. This underfloor heating design allows the heat to rise and warm the room from the floor upwards, meaning less heat is wasted heating the air at ceiling height and reducing running costs.
Provides even, consistent warmth
Radiator systems can create cold spots in a room away from the radiators. But a reliable underfloor heating requires a comprehensive design that ensures the entire floor area is warmed, eliminating cold spots.
More comfort
Walking on a heated floor, especially when the temperature reaches between 65-75 degrees Celsius, feels superb compared to cold hard flooring. It’s especially appreciated in bathrooms where the contrast between cool air and warm floors is most noticeable.
Makes rooms feel more spacious
Underfloor heating without the need for wall-mounted radiators creates a minimalist look, making rooms feel more open.
Improved indoor air quality
Radiant heating means no radiators churning up dust, improving indoor air quality which can especially benefit allergy sufferers.
