Underfloor Heating - A Guilty Pleasure

Underfloor heating needn’t be a guilty pleasure – in fact it can be the ecological way of cutting down your heating bills! 

Underfloor heating may be a mark of luxury and considered the ultimate indulgence. But underfloor heating is one pleasure you don’t have to feel guilty about. And there couldn’t be a better time to invest in underfloor heating. As many of us are still reeling from the recession, and the winter months seem to get colder and longer, it’s not surprising that more and more of us are dreading our heating bills. According to a survey by the Energy Saving Trust, four in 10 Brits are worried about the cost of heating their homes in winter. And utility bills just seem to keep rising and rising. Is underfloor heating the solution? 

Underfloor Heating – Stay Snug, Save Pennies 

There can’t be many luxuries in life that are also a worthy investment, but underfloor heating is one of them. Underfloor heating is usually thought of as an added luxury to most homes – rather than an essential function. But in fact, installing underfloor heating is a relatively simple and surprisingly affordable process that can, in time, save you money on heating bills. Underfloor heating is now widely considered one of the most efficient ways of heating up a room. Because heat rises, having underfloor heating is more effective than radiators, ensuring there are no cold spots. What’s more, it’s possible to change the thermostats in each room so you can ensure the rooms you use less are set at a low temperature. 

Forget Creaking Pipes! 

Underfloor heating is also considered a cleaner way to heat your home if you suffer from allergies or asthma. Unlike conventional radiators, underfloor heating doesn’t cause hot air currents that circulate allergens such as pet hair or dust. The other luxurious quality of underfloor heating is you won’t have to put up with creaking pipes or noisy boilers. In small rooms such as bathrooms, by removing unsightly radiators and installing underfloor heating, you can improve the aesthetics of a room and maximise the sense of space with clean walls. 

Underfloor Heating for the Barking Mad 

And you don’t have to earn a celebrity’s wage packet to enjoy underfloor heating. Although celebrities will always take luxury a step too far. According to a report in the Telegraph, we’re spending more on our pets than ever before. And celebrities like dog-mad Paris Hilton are taking this trend to the max. In America pets are being treated to hotels, cosmetic surgery and designer outfits. And there’s even dedicated interior designers who create luxurious miniature mansions complete with underfloor heating and marble floors. The model Rachel Hunter had a dog mansion built complete with crystal chandeliers. For the rest of us who want to indulge in a little celebrity treatment (without their barking mad ideas), underfloor heating is one luxury you can afford to justify.
