Are you looking for underfloor heating suppliers in the UK?
Clockwork UFH – Underfloor heating suppliers UK
Clockwork Underfloor Heating is an underfloor heating supplier in the UK. We design, supply and install underfloor heating systems for both domestic and commercial properties.
We are employed directly by homeowners, or contractors and property developers working on new builds or renovations. We can design underfloor heating systems either during the planning stage of new properties which makes installation more straightforward, or for retrofitting as part of renovations.
What should you know about underfloor heating before deciding on an installation? Here, we outline a few points to consider.
Types of underfloor heating systems
What type of underfloor heating system do you need?
You can choose between wet and dry (electric) underfloor heating systems.
If you’re looking to heat a large space, you are likely to want a wet underfloor heating system, rather than dry. Wet underfloor heating systems are connected to a boiler or heat pump to send warm water around a network of pipes. In large spaces, the even heat distribution and lower operating temperatures of wet underfloor heating systems makes them more energy efficient and therefore cost-efficient than dry (electric) systems.
Dry underfloor heating systems are made of a series of heating mats, ribbons or cables. They are more suited to small rooms such as bathrooms and ensuites, or spaces without plumbing like conservatories or garden offices. Loose wire configurations are ideal for non-standard shaped rooms.
Benefits of underfloor heating systems
What are the benefits of underfloor heating systems?
Benefits of underfloor heating systems you may want to consider include:
- Energy efficiency
Underfloor heating systems operate at much lower temperatures than traditional radiators which reduces a building’s carbon footprint
- Cost savings
Because of the enhanced energy efficiencies, underfloor heating systems are cheaper to run
- Enhanced comfort
An underfloor heating system distributes heat evenly throughout a space, eliminating cold spots and providing consistent warmth underfoot
- Safer environment
For young children or users with mobility concerns, removing dangerously hot radiators from rooms provides peace of mind that burns can be avoided
- Flexible interior design
When designing a room with underfloor heating there is more flexibility because wall and floor space is not taken up by radiators
- Maintenance free
Underfloor heating requires virtually no maintenance.
How much does underfloor heating cost?
When comparing wet and dry underfloor heating costs, the following rule applies:
- A wet underfloor heating system is cheaper to run
- A dry underfloor heating system is cheaper to install
Wet underfloor heating systems are more complex than dry systems, and the installation process requires more time and expertise in connecting to heat sources. These factors incur higher up-front costs, but once the system is installed it is much cheaper to run than either radiators or dry systems.
If, however, you have a small room to heat or plumbing isn’t available, a dry underfloor heating system is cheaper to install, and still more cost-efficient to run than traditional radiators.
