The Benefits Of Water Underfloor Heating

Sept. 28, 2011 - PRLog -- Many houses in the UK will have the ground floor made by a concrete slab.  Water underfloor heating works extremely well in concrete floors.  Only low temperature water is required for the underfloor heating system, making it very energy efficient.

The system will also work well in a timber suspended floor solution.  Please see http://www.underfloorheatingsystems.co.uk for information on how to install a water underfloor heating system in a timber suspended floor.

Underfloor heating can save on costs, up to 20 % in some cases and is also much quicker to install compared to radiator systems.  Additionally, underfloor heating is perfect for renewable energy sources and no damage can be done to the pipe as all the pipework is hidden.  Underfloor heating systems are also very quiet.

If the air temperature is about 20 degree C around the head of a human, it is almost the perfect heating system.  This is what water underfloor heating achieves.  Radiator systems will heat the air near the ceiling, which is not ideal.  The best solution is to keep the floor warm.

Maximum floor surface temperatures for water underfloor heating systems is 29 C, which means the system is very energy efficient and has a low maintenance cost.
