Say goodbye to radiators with underfloor heating.
Underfloor heating is an energy-efficient renewable technology that heats your home without the need for radiators. It's also easy to operate (just let it run in the background) and gives you a lot of control over the temperature of each room.
Types of underfloor heating.
Underfloor heating can be used in virtually any type of project – new-builds, refurbishments, retrofits and renovations. It can be fitted in a single room or your entire property. Underfloor heating can also be used with various floor surfaces – including concrete, screed, timber, laminate, vinyl, stone and carpet. Take a look at the WarmUp product selector for more information.
Advantages of underfloor heating.
- Efficient – spreads heat evenly using low-temperature radiant heat.
- Always warm – no cold spots as you move further away from the radiators.
- Flexible – can be connected to any heat source now and in the future.
- Control – create zones which mean you can control individual rooms and areas.
- Cheaper – low-temperature radiant heat and efficient distribution mean it’s cheap to run.
- Space-saving – no bulky radiators to take up valuable wall and floor space.
- Healthy – low humidity and dust circulation – good for allergy and asthma sufferers.
- Safer – no low-level hot surfaces or hard metal edges like a radiator system.
