The Original Home Heating!

First pioneered  by the Romans, modern day under floor heating (UHF) is now an accepted mainstream primary heat source for may homes and workplaces.

No Drafts / Convection currents!

Radiators create drafts and convection currents due to the way they heat  air  and cause it to circulate around the room. The greater the circulation of air (see fig 2 below) the colder it feels to the occupant.  UFH dose not create the same convection current, instead producing a even stable heat over the entire room area (see Fig 1 right),  making the occupant feel warmer and more comfortable.

Practical, User friendly & Space Saving.

UFH is hidden under the floor so takes up no room space so allows the occupant a totally blank canvas to position furniture and other items.

No Maintenance Required!

Once installed Electric UFH does not require any further maintenance. What boiler can offer that?

No Lost Heat.

UFH heats the floor evenly making it the hottest point, it also maintains the majority of the heat at a desirable and useful level evenly spread over the room area, (see fig 1 above right). Radiators send the majority of the heat to the ceiling where it is not required and so wasted. Cold air is then dragged over the floor towards the radiator to feed the convection current, (See fig 2 above left).Studies have shown that when our feet are warm the rest of our body's  feel more comfortable. Electric Heating systems also do not require a wasteful delivery system. Up to 20% of heat can be lost in pipes that deliver hot water to and from radiators.

Lower Operating Temperatures = Lower Cost

The combination of reductions in convection currents, better location of heat and heat source and less wastage mean UFH can be run at a lower temperature in comparison to radiators but still keep the occupant feeling just as warm and more comfortable.
