Water Underfloor Heating System

This could make your home more.

Water underfloor heating system. Water underfloor heating is a highly cost efficient heating system to run as it uses much less energy than a central heating system. Either type can be installed as the primary whole building heating system or as localized floor heating for thermal comfort. Warm water or wet underfloor heating which we will focus on in this article electric underfloor heating in basic terms a wet underfloor heating system features pipes filled by warm water and powered by a boiler or heat pump concealed within the floor and typically embedded within a screed. Modern underfloor heating systems use either electrical resistance elements electric systems or fluid flowing in pipes hydronic systems to heat the floor.

With a water based underfloor heating system a series of pipes connected to your boiler circulate warm water throughout the floor to heat the space similar to radiators. Electric underfloor heating uses wires or heat mats beneath the floor to create the same warming effect. With a water based underfloor heating system a series of pipes connected to a boiler via a manifold it circulates warm water throughout the floor to heat the space. The underfloor heating warmth is even too and so eliminates any cold spots or draughts in a room that are common with radiators.

Water based underfloor heating is widely used as an alternative to electrical underfloor heating throughout the world primarily because it can use a combination of different heat sources to warm up your home. Because the heat emitted from an underfloor system is more evenly distributed than a single radiator the system can use water at a lower temperature. Alternatively you can connect the underfloor water pipes to a solar water heating system air source or ground source heat pump. Our system operates at lower temperatures so less fuel is needed to heat the water and our hot water heaters condense flue gasses to get maximum heating from your fuel.

Electric underfloor heating and water underfloor heating both offer a luxurious value adding style point to your home. With water underfloor heating pipes carrying warm water are laid beneath the floor and it works just like a radiator does on your wall allowing heat to flow through the floor and into your room. Warm water underfloor heating solutions use far lower flow temperatures than a radiator system also and because it covers a much larger surface area it is still able to heat the room effectively. Wet underfloor heating emits enough energy to bring your room to your comfort temperature at flow temperatures of 30 40 degrees.
