Introduction to Underfloor
There are three primary advantages to using underfloor heating systems as opposed to traditional convection-based heating:
- Thermal comfort - underfloor heating provides a more natural warmth, with the limbs and lower body warmer than the head.
- Aesthetics - underfloor heating is generally hidden away and does not use up wall space for instance, that could be used for other things.
- Energy efficiency - as underfloor heating is generally more efficient than convection heating, the boiler does not need to heat the water to such a high temperature.
