Underfloor Heating

Underfloor Heating systems are becoming the most popular form of heating for both domestic and commercial buildings within the UK. Here are some benefits of having a low-temperature heating system :

  • Provides extra space and clean decorative finishes when compared to radiators, and there is no need to worry about sharp edges or the hot surfaces of radiators.

  • Helps to provide cleaner air by reducing the circulation of dust and bacteria caused by convection currents.

  • Provides increased efficiency when compared to traditional radiators because it runs at much lower temperatures than other heating systems because of the increased surface of the heat output area, this works well in combination with efficient condensing boilers, heat pumps and other energy-efficient heat sources.

Why Underfloor Heating?

Radiators provide a single heat spot within the room, the heat energy transfers by the process of convection. Because of the temperature difference, the hot air rises, whereas the colder air sinks. This creates a current within the room, causing increased air movement, aiding the spread of dust and bacteria.

Underfloor heating creates a comfortable, evenly distributed heat and a clean environment within the living space. The plastic pipe which is embedded within the floor, spread across the entire available space, transfers the heat from the water into the embedded surface.

Heat is dissipated into the living area, evenly across the entire room. Underfloor heating uses low-temperature hot water when compared to radiators. All these factors combined creates the ideal comfort conditions whilst saving you money and energy.

Frequently Asked Question (FAQ)

What does CC mean on my design?

CC stands for centre to centre, so if you have a CC of 200mm that is 200mm from the centre of the pipe to the centre of the next run of pipe.

Can you put the pump on the left or right?

Yes, each mixer pack comes with instructions detailing how to do this. If yours didn’t arrive with the instructions call us and we’ll email them across.

Can I use the UFH to dry out my screed?

No! Unless the screed supplier/manufacturer has given this instruction there should be no reason to. Drying out the screed with the UFH can cause cracks, the screed must be allowed to dry naturally.

Do I need to install a DPM over the insulation?

A damp-proof membrane or DPM should be used on top of the insulation and below the UFH. This is to prevent damp ingress.

Do I need edge insulation?

Edge insulation is an essential product. Unlike PIR insulation, edge insulation allows for expansion and contraction of the screed.

Is my property suitable for Underfloor Heating?

Yes, all properties can be suitable. There are a few areas where improvements may need to be made, but these should all be achievable.
