What Is Underfloor Heating?

Underfloor heating is a method of heating indoor areas by installing a heating system below a floors surface. This heating system generates heat which rises from the floor and in turn, warms up the room and provides a comfortable and very even distribution of heat. This makes it a very viable and desireable alternative to traditional heating systems such as traditional radiators.

Water Underfloor Heating

A water underfloor heating system operates by circulating warm water through pipes that are installed beneath the floor of a building. These pipes are most often made of a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or cross-linked PERT and connect to a central boiler or heat pump that heats the water.

The heated water circulates through the pipes and warms the floor from below, radiating heat into the room and is typically thermostatically controlled.

Water underfloor heating is often used as a primary heating system in new builds or is retrofitted in existing buildings. It can be installed under a variety of flooring types including stone, ceramic tile, wood and even carpet.

Water underfloor heating is well known for providing a comfortable, consistent heat throughout a space. It is considered more energy efficient than traditional radiator based heating systems.

Electric Underfloor Heating

Electric underfloor heating is installed beneath the floor of a building to provide warmth and comfort. It is made up of of a series of electric heating elements that are laid out in a pattern underneath the floor. This can be in the form of heating mats or heating cables, with the system again typically controlled by a thermostat, regulating the temperature of the floor and the surrounding space.

Electric underfloor heating is typically installed during new build or renovation of a building, and can be used as either a primary or secondary heating system. It is commonly used in bathrooms and kitchens, or other areas where tiled or stone floors are common.

Electric underfloor heating is often chosen over traditional heating systems when fitting a water system is not practical. It can provide a more consistent, evenly distributed heat than traditional radiators and can help to reduce energy costs, depending upon the circumstances.

The OLCO UNDERFLOOR HEATING Difference

Why Should You Consider Undefloor Heating?

This type of heating provides many great benefits such as improved energy efficiency, enhanced comfort levels, and the freedom to be more flexible with your room design due to the lack of radiators or wall mounted heaters cramping your style.

In addition to these benefits, cost savings when running an underfloor heating system can be up to 40% cheaper due to the enhanced heat distribution, lower operating temperatures, and individual room controls. That being said, there are always some downsides to any system. Cost of installation can be prohibitive to some people and there is a longer warm up time from switching the system on to actually feeling the benefit.

All in all though, an underfloor heating system can be a great investment – especially if you are having an extension built or are have significant floor works completed.
