Underfloor heating is a form of central heating, which utilises heat conduction and radiant heat for indoor climate control, rather than forced air heating which relies on convection. Heat can be provided by pumping controlled flows of warm water from a boiler, or other heat source, through plastic tubing embedded in the floor. Because the emitting area is large, the warmth provided is quite sufficient even on a cold winter’s day without the need for any extra heat source. This method is well suited to all normal floor types, solid or timber.
Underfloor heating delivers a near perfect temperature profile between floor and ceiling due to a balanced combination of radiant and convected heat. This imparts a feeling of natural warmth, since the limbs should ideally be warmer than the head. With conventional central heating, the majority of heat is convected air which rises, making the ceiling one of the warmest places in the room. However, 50% of warmth generated by underfloor heating is radiant heat, where the floor evenly releases heat, which is absorbed by people and objects in the room.
Underfloor heating is invisible from above and does not use valuable wall space with unsightly heating equipment. It has a particular advantage in public areas where exposed hot or sharp surfaces can be dangerous and unsightly.
