Affordable underfloor heating transforms houses into cosy homes. Its long term financial and environmental impact makes affordable underfloor heating a worthwhile investment.
Affordable underfloor heating
Clockwork Underfloor Heating (UFH) is a reputable underfloor heating system design and installation company based in the North West. We work with domestic customers, specifiers and contractors to plan and install affordable underfloor heating in homes and commercial spaces.
Here, we explore why affordable underfloor heating is becoming increasingly popular with North West customers.
Types of underfloor heating systems
There are two main types of underfloor heating systems: wet and dry.
- Water/wet underfloor heating systems run off the boiler and central heating system through a continuous network of plastic pipes.
There are different types of water underfloor heating systems:
- Screed underfloor heating systems
- Low profile underfloor heating systems
- Suspended underfloor heating systems
- Dry underfloor heating systems are electric systems.
Dry underfloor heating systems are made of heating cables, ribbons and films. For quirky-shaped rooms, loose wire configurations are ideal, while dry underfloor heating systems with matting are designed for tile and stone floors. Foil mat systems are exclusively for rooms with laminated flooring.
Benefits of water underfloor heating systems
For homeowners and commercial property managers there are many benefits of water underfloor heating systems:
- Energy efficiency
Water underfloor heating systems use less energy than radiators because they don’t need to operate at the same high water temperatures to achieve the required level of heat.
- Even heat distribution
When radiators emit heat, the areas closest are warmer than other parts of the room, whereas underfloor heating distributes the heat evenly.
- Cheaper to run than dry underfloor heating systems
By operating at lower temperatures, the efficiency of wet underfloor heating systems makes them cheaper to run than dry systems.
- Greater comfort
Water underfloor heating systems create cosy rooms and comfort under foot.
- Flexible interiors
A water underfloor heating system doesn’t take up wall space, allowing for more flexibility with interior design and décor.
How much does underfloor heating cost?
How much underfloor heating costs depends on your choice of underfloor heating system and the space you are heating.
Dry underfloor heating systems are cheaper to install than wet underfloor heating systems, but they are more expensive to run. Wet underfloor heating systems are much cheaper to run than radiators, which makes them more cost-effective for large spaces, particularly open plan properties.
If you choose a water underfloor heating system the cost will also depend on which type of wet system is best for your space.
