Advantages of Underfloor Heating Systems
A higher level of comfort
No cold spots
No draughty floors
A gentle heat provides consistent, all-over warmth
Clear wall and floor areas
Saves space: radiators can occupy 10% of room area and limit positioning of furniture. Allows complete design freedom.
Safest form of heating
There are no radiators to burn or fall against, making it an ideal heating system for the young, old and infirm.
Maintenance-free pipe
No radiators to leak or replace
No painting of radiators
No wallpapering or painting behind awkward radiators
No ruined carpets from leaking radiators

Higher standards of hygiene
No convection of warm air, therefore no moving dust particles (unlike radiators), assisting people with breathing ailments
No awkward radiators to attract and harbour dust

Lower running costs
With the heat beneath your feet, where you need it, the heating can be run several degrees lower, without any comfort loss
With a floor temperature only a few degrees above the air temperature, the heat won't rise to the ceiling
