Underfloor Heating – Feel The Benefits

Once a luxury, underfloor heating is now the heating of choice for many homeowners. 

If you’re planning a new kitchen, bathroom, extension or general refurbishment, the chances are that you’ll be considering underfloor heating. There was a time when this was a form of heating only seen in luxury developments – and one that came with a high price tag – but today’s homeowners see underfloor heating for what it really is – an affordable and cost-effective way to heat your home. 

The Benefits of Underfloor Heating 

Whilst it’s lovely to walk across your bathroom tiles barefoot and feel the warmth of the floor beneath, that’s just one of the many reasons you should be thinking seriously about installing underfloor heating in your home. Now easy to install and easy to maintain, it’s a great way of bringing a sense of style into your property: 

• No ugly radiators – unless you have a period property with fabulous radiators, these heating devices are mostly just plain ugly. You can build radiator covers around them to make them look better, but they can reduce the heat you get from the radiators as well as being something extra to maintain around your home. Underfloor heating means no more radiators. 

• Flexible room space – radiators take up wall space and there’s no getting round the fact that having a radiator in the room reduces the amount of space you can use. Some furniture can’t go up against them because of heat damage, you can’t build furniture onto a wall where there’s a radiator and putting some furniture in front of them or having curtains hanging over the top of them reduces the benefit you get from the heat. Underfloor heating solves all of these problems. Your walls are yours to do with as you please and you’ll be amazed at what additional flexibility you have as far as decorating and arranging your room is concerned. 

• Lower energy bills – many people who have installed underfloor heating not only feel the benefit on the soles of their feet but also in their wallets. That’s because the control you have over your underfloor heating can make it a more efficient heating system. Your energy use and your bills could go down, helping you to do your bit for the environment – and your bank balance. 

These are just some of the reasons that increasing numbers of homeowners are looking into underfloor heating as a real alternative to traditional radiators. Homes that are better insulated and better heated are good for the people who live in them and good for the environment.
