Water underfloor heating comes within the top 3 desirable features in a property, offering versatility and enhanced design freedom.
It offers more than just energy efficiency. It can contribute to a healthier home, especially for those who suffer from respiratory conditions, with studies reporting up to an 80% reduction in the number of dust mites due to the circulation of air.
There are many safety benefits too, especially in settings where young children or the elderly are present and where the risk of burns is significantly reduced. Add to this evenly distributed temperatures, controlled rooms or zones and you have something that is very attractive to clients.
COMFORT
Consistent temperature and luxury rolled into one. We won’t just advise you on the right system but will also look at ways to maximise the efficiency of the property. Analysing the basics from insulation to glazing means you can achieve the most from the underfloor heat and improve overall EPC ratings.
CONTROL
Get the exact amount of heat just where you want it. Our comprehensive range of industry-leading thermostat and control options means that each room can be individually heated to the desired temperature. Choose from standard programmable thermostat options to intelligent smart home compatible devices which can be controlled even when occupants are away.
COSTS
There are many variables that can affect the outlay of water underfloor heating down to the insulation, screed and heating controls which are quoted on a project-by-project basis. However, we can tell you that overall, underfloor heating results in a more efficient heating solution providing savings ranging from 15% – 40% against traditional heating methods.
DESIGN FREEDOM
The beauty of water underfloor heating is that it lends itself to a mix-and-match approach. It doesn’t need to be installed in every room of a property, screeded water systems can be used alongside low-profile or electric solutions, offering complete freedom. Underfloor heating naturally eliminates the need for radiators and frees up valuable wall space that can be used for extra furniture or for de-cluttered interiors. This is one of the many reasons why so many new build’s feature this style of heating.
HYGIENE & SAFETY
Switching from radiators can reduce the number of dust mites by up to 80%, as a result, customers who suffer from respiratory illnesses will feel far more comfortable within a radiant heated environment. Consideration should also be given to installations where the safety of occupants are important, for example in elderly care settings or nursery’s where burn injuries can be eliminated.
