Under Floor Heating
Thermal comfort is the point at which peoples bodies feel most comfortable with the surrounding heat. There are different ways in which people can feel temperature, such as direct sunshine and humidity. The way temperature is distributed is also a factor. Do you often get cold feet when walking around the house on a lazy day? This is the way the radiators distribute heat. Shown in the diagram below:
With under floor heating, the thermal comfort of your house can be increased as the temperature is very stable with no cold spots from the floor to the ceiling of your room.
Underfloor Heating Example
A few factors about under floor heating;
|
Space: every part of your house/room can be used, ensuring a very comfortable distribution of heat, compared to a radiator.
|
|
|
Aesthetics: with no radiators in your room, you do not have to design your room around the radiators it holds, offering a lot more freedom of design.
|
|
|
Comfort: most importantly the under floor heating will provide the highest comfort levels. Under floor heating is seen as a luxury but we can offer it at a competitive rate.
|
|
|
Silent: compared to copper pipe and radiator systems it is completely silent.
|
|
|
Cost effective: saves energy and running costs, energy saving of 15-40% can be achieved.

Underfloor Heating Plan
This type of system is suited for a vast variety of installations, public baths and swimming pools for example, wet floors also dry quicker. Buildings with large floor areas and high ceilings are ideal, the heating costs can be reduced and comfort massively increased. Also due to the air convection being lower, the heating occurs where day to day working occurs, below head height.
This gives you a better idea of what to expect hopefully, and don't forget no changes to your boiler or central heating system will be needed, as the under floor heating manifold connects into a system as though it were a normal radiator.
