About Underfloor Heating (UFH)

With Under Floor Heating the entire floor radiates warmth under your feet instead of far away and piping hot, stuck out on a wall.

Suited to high efficiency gas boilers but can just as easily be used with any other heat source including Ground Source Heat Pumps.

Solid or Timber floor systems.

Plastic pipes are placed in the floor, solid (concrete or scree) or timber floor systems. Water is pumped into the tubes around the rooms which can be zoned with individual thermostats. When the room temperature falls, the warm water is pumped round the floor until the desired temperature is reached and then switches off that zone. The entire process is automatic, providing a constant comfortable warmth economically and unobtrusively.

Excellent for new builds; with easy solutions for existing constructions.

Great for conservatories, kitchens and bathrooms.

The main types of floor construction are:

	Solid/Screed Floor
	Timber/ Intermediate
	Floating Floor/ Overlays

Underfloor Heating Construction.
Typical construction types for solid or screed flooring include:
	Floor finish
	Screed or conducting layer
	Edge insulation

Designed for both new builds and retrofit construction, low profile panels can be placed on existing solid and timber load bearing floors.

You can save money while improving your home.

Optimum levels of comfort compared to radiator heating systems.

The diagram above highlights the ideal room temperature profiles and compares it with UFH and other systems.
	Temperature Profile 1 Theoretical ideal heating profile
	Temperature profile 2 Warm water underfloor heating profile
	Temperature profile 3 Force air heating/radiator/older systems profile
it is easy to see that UFH has a much more ideal room temperature profile.
