Underfloor Heating Systems
Underfloor heating systems offer a more even and comfortable warmth throughout your room, getting rid of cold spots and drafts that you often find with radiators. They’re also about 25% more efficient, using lower temperatures but still heating spaces effectively because they cover more area. When you pair underfloor heating with a heat pump, the efficiency can increase by up to 40%. This means you can enjoy a warmer house while using less energy and reducing heating costs.
What is Underfloor Heating?
Underfloor heating is a modern heating solution designed to spread warmth evenly across your floors, providing consistent comfort. Unlike traditional radiators that heat the surrounding air, underfloor heating warms the floor directly. This heated floor then radiates warmth upwards, spreading a gentle and even heat throughout the room.
Wet Underfloor Heating
Wet systems involve a network of pipes carrying warm water beneath the floor. These systems are highly efficient and can be more cost-effective for larger spaces or new builds where they can be integrated with your central heating system. They provide a consistent and even heat distribution, making them an excellent choice for heating throughout your home or commercial building.
Overlay Underfloor Heating
Overlay underfloor heating is a type of underfloor heating system that can be installed over an existing floor without the need for disruptive renovations. Unlike traditional underfloor heating systems that require the floor to be lifted and replaced, overlay systems are thin and lightweight insulation with heating elements embedded inside, making them ideal for retrofitting in existing properties.
Why Choose Underfloor Heating?
1. Even Heat Distribution
One of the standout features of underfloor heating is its ability to deliver even heat distribution. Unlike traditional radiators, which can create hot and cold spots in a room, underfloor heating warms the entire floor surface, ensuring that every corner of the room is comfortably warm.
2. Energy Efficiency
Underfloor heating systems are incredibly energy efficient. They operate at lower temperatures than traditional radiators, which means they use less energy to achieve the same level of warmth. This can result in lower energy bills and a reduced carbon footprint.
3. Enhanced Comfort
The gentle, radiant heat from underfloor systems is more comfortable than the harsh heat from radiators. It creates a cosy environment without the cold draughts or uneven heating that can sometimes occur with other heating methods.
4. Space Saving
With underfloor heating, you no longer need to sacrifice wall space for radiators. This opens up your room design options, allowing for more flexible furniture arrangements and a cleaner, uncluttered look.
5. Improved Air Quality
Since underfloor heating doesn’t rely on blowing air around the room, it helps reduce the circulation of dust and allergens, which can improve indoor air quality and contribute to a healthier living environment.

Underfloor Heating vs. Radiators
Even though radiators are widely used, underfloor heating performs better on many fronts. In the UK, homes with radiators tend to emit a lot more CO2 each year than those with underfloor heating. This is because underfloor heating systems work way more efficiently, using less energy and cutting down on harmful emissions by a good margin. So, choosing underfloor heating is not only great for keeping your home cosy and your energy bills lower but it’s also kinder to the environment.
