Underfloor heating is a popular and efficient central heating system. It provides even warmth and greater comfort than traditional radiators. Instead of directly heating the air, it warms the floor first, which then radiates heat evenly throughout the room.
There are two main types of underfloor heating systems: water-based and electric.
Each system has its own installation requirements and advantages. But both provide quiet operation and a clean, modern look—eliminating the need for bulky radiators.
This system uses polyethylene pipes installed evenly beneath the floor surface. Installers lay the pipes over a layer of insulation to direct the heat upward. Then cover them with mortar to create a smooth base for the final flooring material.
The pipes connect to a manifold, which links to your boiler or heat pump. Hot water circulates through the pipes—around 35–40°C for heating and 15–16°C for cooling—providing a comfortable indoor temperature. A thermostat and programmer manage the entire system for precise control.
Electric systems use heating mats or cables placed beneath the floor surface. Installers lay these on screed for stability, add insulation to prevent downward heat loss, connect the system to the mains power supply, and control it with a thermostat.
As the floor heats up, warmth radiates evenly upward, creating a balanced and comfortable indoor environment.
Because the heat is distributed evenly, it operates efficiently at lower temperatures than traditional radiators—reducing energy consumption and running costs.
The system also enhances home aesthetics by removing visible radiators and improves indoor air quality by minimizing dust circulation. When combined with renewable energy systems like air source heat pumps, it can significantly lower carbon emissions and energy bills.
With smart thermostats and zoned controls, homeowners can adjust the temperature in each room independently, ensuring comfort and efficiency throughout the home.
