A comfortable level of heating that is cost-effective, easy to manage and safe is essential for nursing homes.
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.
When it comes to achieving well-distributed and effective heating in nursing homes, professionally installed underfloor heating (UFH) provides the ultimate high performance heating system.
Underfloor heating systems can be dry (electric) or wet (connected to a boiler). The choice between the two depends on the size of the rooms within the nursing home that are being considered for a UFH system, their proximity to plumbing and the nursing home’s long term energy efficiency goals.
Benefits of underfloor heating systems
The benefits of underfloor heating systems begin with their capacity to distribute heat evenly across a room. This is more efficient than radiators that project heat from their location which creates an imbalance.
Underfloor heating systems are hidden away so they don’t take up valuable wall space or pose a burn risk for nursing home residents or staff. They also don’t produce moisture on floors that can cause slips and falls.
A benefit of UFH that is particularly pertinent to nursing homes is cleanliness and hygiene. Underfloor heating systems don’t provide surfaces for particles of dust and dirt to accumulate which are then lifted into the atmosphere in the way that radiators and heaters do.
Underfloor heating systems work to low flow temperatures. This keeps energy consumption to a minimum which reduces a nursing home’s carbon emissions and energy costs.
Underfloor heating – our 4 step process
Clockwork Underfloor Heating works to a 4 step process:
- Planning and design which is based on the nursing home’s heating and flooring needs, and energy goals
- Laying poured insulation which is essential for the efficiency and effectiveness of the UFH
- Installation of the underfloor heating system
- Pouring of liquid screed on top of the system to create a smooth, level floor ready for a final floor finish such as tiles, carpet, laminate or vinyl.
Underfloor heating cost
While the installation of underfloor heating requires an up-front investment, the potential long term savings due to the efficiency of the UFH system are significant.
The cost of an underfloor heating system will depend on the size of the space in the nursing home to be heated and whether a dry or wet system is installed. Wet systems are often more cost-effective for larger spaces due to lower operating costs, while dry systems offer flexibility and quicker heating but at a potentially higher running cost.
