What is underfloor heating?
To begin with, underfloor heating is a way of heating your home by using flexible and strong tubing which is placed under your floor. It has several benefits and advantages over using radiators.

A lot of various types are available for you to choose from. Different factors can affect your choice and the type of underfloor heating system you want to go with. These might include: your current heating system, energy source and your project type.
How does underfloor heating work?
To put it simply, an underfloor heating system works by turning your floor into a huge and invisible heating system. Your floor will be emitting heat in a very efficient manner. Either cables or heating tubes will be installed beneath your floor. These will heat up the room from the ground and all the way up. Cables are used for electric underfloor heating systems, while flexible tubing is used for warm water underfloor heating systems. An underfloor heating system can use lower water temperatures than radiators due to the fact that it covers a large surface area. This can assist in improving efficiency. It also has the benefit of heating the entire room since there are no cold spots whatsoever.
What are the advantages of an underfloor heating system?
Your floor will be warm and heated
With underfloor heating, heat will be emitted gently from underneath your floor upwards, making your cold floor warm to the touch. An underfloor heating system emits even warmth and makes your home cosier.
Flexibility
An underfloor heating system is quite flexible. It can be installed in any type of property such as new builds, renovations or extensions. They can be fitted in one room, multiple rooms or upstairs.
Discreet & Space saving
Underfloor heating systems are ‘invisible’ due to the fact that the tube is well hidden under the floor. Additionally, you will have more space due to not having to install radiators. Underfloor heating is perfect for small homes and open plan living.
