Why Have Underfloor Heating?
Modern underfloor heating provides many advantages over traditional radiator based systems. Where large warm surfaces such as the floor exist, it is possible to achieve comfortable conditions with a cooler air temperature, making underfloor heating more energy efficient and comfortable than traditional radiator systems. This results in a greater feeling of freshness, will result in lower heat loss from the building & consequently lower energy costs.
It is more comfortable to have a constant, evenly distributed temperature of 20-24 degrees, than it is to have a single high temperature heat source such as a radiator at 80 deg C in the corner of the room.
The radiant heat from underfloor heating also drastically reduces air circulation & the resulting cold drafts & dust!
