Wet or water based Under Floor Heating Systems

Description

Choosing wet based systems:

If you’re considering a wet or hydronic under floor heating system.  A water underfloor heating system can sit beneath pretty much any type of flooring; including stone, tile, wooden or even carpeted surfaces.

Wet underfloor heating systems compromise of series of pipes connected to your boiler circulate warm water throughout the floor to heat the space. Alternatively, you can connect the water underfloor pipes to a solar water heating system, air source or ground source heat pump.

Why UFH:

The Energy Saving Trust says water underfloor heating is typically more energy efficient than radiators and therefore less expensive to run. Heat emitted from an underfloor system is evenly distributed unlike a single radiator. This means it can use water at a lower temperature.

• A retro fit system, this is a low profile panel system from 18mm in depth.
• A conventional pipe system clipped to insulation and then screed-ed over.
• We can also offer bespoke systems tailored to your individual needs.
