Consider our three top tips when you’re planning your underfloor heating system.
Whether you’re thinking of converting your home to an underfloor heating system, or you’re just considering it for a single room – typically a bathroom or kitchen – you need to take the time to think things through. Underfloor heating has many advantages, but you need to think ahead so that you can be sure you’re getting the right system for your needs.
Some Underfloor Heating Tips
- Underfloor heating design – make sure your underfloor heating system is professionally designed. You need to talk to a professional who can visit your property or talk to you over the phone so that any potential problems can be spotted before the underfloor heating is installed. If you’re building an extension, the underfloor heating needs to be planned into your project programme. If you’re renovating an existing room, you need to be sure that the surface underneath your current flooring is suitable for an underfloor heating system to be laid down. Planning and design are essential at the earliest stages.
- Flooring – research the types of flooring that you can lay over your underfloor heating system. Most systems work well under any sort of flooring although if you have timber floors, you should check with your installer about whether the system will efficiently heat your room, as wood is a good insulator and will keep a percentage of the heat away from your floor. Your installer will know a great deal about the type of flooring that works best with the sort of underfloor heating system you’re having installed, so always be open to advice and suggestions.
- Other heating systems – always consider your underfloor heating system in conjunction with the other heating facilities you have in your home. For some homes, underfloor heating will dispense with the need for conventional heating, such as radiators. In other properties, however, you will need to combine heating systems to ensure that your house remains at a comfortable temperature. Always talk to your professional installer about how your underfloor heating will work with your other heating systems to ensure that you get the best results.
