Why Underfloor Heating
|
|
Electric underfloor heating is now recognised the reliable and economic way of heating spaces in offices and homes.
It not only provides optimum comfort conditions, but also is extremely economic. In fact, electric systems can help meet the energy saving requirements of Part L of the Building Regulations. In addition, our unique ‘intelligent’ thermostats and our various insulations boards can boost the possible energy savings by an extra 20%.

The great advantage of electric underfloor heating is that it distributes heat evenly. In a room with conventional radiators with a surface temperature of 65°C, the temperature variations in areas of the room away from the radiators will range from 18°C at floor level through 23°C and 25°C at different heights to 26°C below the ceiling — depending, of course, on the distance from the radiator.

With an underfloor system achieving a temperature at floor level of 25°C, the average temperature at different levels throughout the room will be lower, but occupants will feel more comfortable. This reduction in temperature variation can significantly improve on overall heating costs.
