What Types of Underfloor Systems Do We Offer

Our underground heating portfolio includes the following products and their respective accessories:

Electric Underfloor Heating

We offer components and accessories for electric underfloor heating systems. Electric underflow systems use thin mats or wire coils under the floor, which heat up when an electric current passes through them. Zoned controls allow you to customize the temperature in different areas of your home. Electric systems heat and cool quickly and are easily installed under many flooring types.

Hydronic (Water) Underground Heating

Hydronic systems pump hot water from a boiler through pipes beneath the floor. This type of system provides even, consistent warmth but requires more extensive installation. You can customize your system with programmable thermostats to control the temperature room-by-room.

Benefits of Underground Heating

Using underground heating comes with a range of benefits that include:

• Extremely energy efficient - can reduce heating/cooling costs by 40-60%
• Environmentally friendly - reduces carbon emissions compared to fossil fuels
• Comfortable even heating and cooling
• Long lifespan - can last over 50 years with little maintenance
• Works steadily year-round as earth temperature remains constant

Factors to Consider When Getting Underfloor Heating

Installing underfloor heating requires careful planning and consideration of several factors:

1. Property Type: Water underfloor systems are easiest to install in new builds where they can be designed into the floor plan from the start. Retrofitting into existing homes is possible but more complex.
2. Flooring Type: Some floor surfaces conduct and retain heat better than others. Tile and stone work best, while carpets and wooden floors require more heating power. The floor covering must be compatible with underfloor pipes.
3. Heating System: Consider how underfloor heating will integrate with existing radiators or forced air systems. This impacts installation and costs. Removing old heating units is often required.
