Wet underfloor heating systems are connected to the main heat source such as a boiler or air source heat pump, while dry underfloor heating systems are electric and made of cables, ribbons and films.
Wet underfloor heating systems
Clockwork Underfloor Heating supplies and installs both wet and dry underfloor heating systems.
Wet underfloor heating systems use high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes to circulate warm water from the central heating system. They are more expensive to install than dry underfloor heating systems, but they are more energy efficient and therefore cheaper to run. Wet underfloor heating systems dramatically undercut the operating costs of traditional radiators.
Benefits of water underfloor heating systems
There are several benefits of a water underfloor heating system, including:
- Consistent temperatures that are evenly distributed throughout a room
- Creates a cosy environment and keeps feet warm without the need for footwear
- Doesn’t take up wall space
- Operates at much lower water temperatures than radiators which makes it more energy efficient and reduces costs
- Low maintenance
- Easily operated through smart controls.
Types of wet underfloor heating systems
Clockwork Underfloor Heating supply and install different types of wet underfloor heating systems:
Screed underfloor heating systems
Under a floor screed, a wet underfloor heating system generates optimum output. Screed systems provide the most cost effective and energy efficient underfloor heating. They are ideal for new builds and extensions, and are compatible with renewable energy sources such as air source heat pumps.
Low profile underfloor heating systems
Low profile systems only need a depth of 18mm, so they’re ideal for retrofits or renovations. Of a basic board and pipe layout, Clockwork Underfloor Heating’s unique low profile system is quicker to install and 45% cheaper than castellation mats and levelling compound alternatives.
Suspended floor underfloor heating systems
These are the quickest underfloor heating systems to install, partly because raising the floor level isn’t necessary for installation. They’re ideal for basements, ground floors or upper floors with joists.

FAQs
Should I choose a wet or dry underfloor heating system for my conservatory?
We would usually advise you to choose a dry underfloor heating system for a conservatory. However, if there is plumbing in the room, a wet system would also work. We can advise you on this.
How long does it take to install a wet underfloor heating system?
It depends on the size of the space and the system you have chosen. Most installations take one or two days but for large or challenging spaces it can take several more.
