Underfloor heating (UFH) is becoming increasingly popular as a reliable and cost-effective solution for efficiently heating rooms in healthcare settings.
Why choose underfloor heating for care homes? In a space occupied by vulnerable people where health and wellbeing are priorities, efficient heating is essential.
UFH provides a radiant heat that replicates the natural warmth of the sun. This, and the energy and cost savings of underfloor heating prompt healthcare providers to opt for underfloor heating in care homes.
Clockwork Underfloor Heating is a team of experts in underfloor heating for care homes. We work with specifiers, healthcare providers and contractors to supply energy efficient underfloor heating systems that benefit care home residents, staff and visitors.
Benefits of underfloor heating
Benefits of underfloor heating specifically for care homes:
- For care homes where cleanliness is essential, underfloor heating does not hold or lift dirt and dust in the way that radiators, air conditioning units and convection heaters do
- An underfloor heating system doesn’t have exposed surfaces that become hot and burn vulnerable care home residents who may be unsteady
- Underfloor heating systems don’t create moisture on floors that could pose a fall risk.
Other benefits of underfloor heating:
- Underfloor heating systems distribute heat equally across a room unlike radiators that produce heat from where they’re located
- An underfloor heating system works to low flow temperatures which reduces energy consumption and cost
- Minimal maintenance is required for underfloor heating systems and they can last for up to 50 years.
The ideal solution for saving space and energy
As well as the benefits above, underfloor heating systems don’t take up any space in a room. This allows care homes to maximise the use of all walls, providing more space for equipment and furniture.
The energy efficiency of the low flow temperatures saves care homes a considerable amount of money. It also helps the care home management team to meet environmental goals.
Is it easy to install underfloor heating (UFH) in care homes?
Underfloor heating is easy to install in care homes if you have the expertise and knowledge to carry out the work efficiently.
At Clockwork Underfloor Heating we would always recommend using UFH experts to complete the installation professionally without risk to care home users.
We take care of the planning and design, the application of poured insulation, the installation of the UFH system and the laying of liquid floor screed on top, ready for a final floor finish. This four step process is carried out efficiently and professionally, with as little disruption as possible.
Can underfloor heating improve the comfort level?
Yes, underfloor heating improves comfort levels in care homes. By distributing the heat equally through low flow temperatures the UFH system achieves consistent heat distribution in a room which avoids having to regularly change the heating settings. It also stops users having to add or remove layers of clothing.
