5 Reasons to Fall In Love with Underfloor Heating

Efficiency and Comfort

Underfloor Heating produces radiant heat which makes you feel warm and comfortable. The way the heat is distributed impacts the efficiency and comfort of the heating system. Radiant heat, heats objects directly and it maintains the natural humidity in a room, whereas convection of warm air tends to reduce humidity, which can make the heated area feel stuffy. If the whole floor of the room is heated, then radiant heat gives a very even spread of heat, whereas conventional heating heats one area initially and then takes time to circulate to reach the required comfort levels.

Although it may sound strange, underfloor heating systems are actually safer for your children than standard radiators. This is because the pipes are hidden safely under the floors so there’s no need to worry about any possibility of scalds – something which is unfortunately all-too-common when it comes to radiators where exposed pipes can be very dangerous when the heating system is in operation. Not only that, but radiators have a lot of exposed metal. If a child accidentally falls or trips and hits the radiator they can end up with an unpleasant bump or injury.


Underfloor heating systems don’t circulate dust through your home in the same way as a radiator. Underfloor heating works very well with tiles and wood floors too, so you can eliminate the problem of dust mites in the carpet while also keeping your home warm and cosy


One of the key benefits of underfloor heating systems is how amazing they feel underfoot. Heat gently emits upwards from the floor to create a pleasant even heat while making cold floors a thing of the past.
