Underfloor Heating
Underfloor heating works by pumping a controlled flow of warm water from any heat source through plastic tubing embedded in the floor. Because the emitting area is large, sufficient warmth is provided even on a cold winter day with no need for supplementary heating.
The benefits of underfloor heating are numerous here are a few:
Design Freedom
Whatever the style and size of the project – traditional, contemporary, large or small – the lack of obtrusive radiators will release valuable wall and floor space, allowing freedom to design layouts and make optimum use of each room.
Lower Heating Bills
With fuel costs on the increase it is more important than ever to install an energy efficient heating system. The low system water temperatures of underfloor heating will enhance the efficiency of condensing boilers and give fuel savings of typically 25–40% (source BSRIA). Even greater savings are achievable when a heat pump is used as they operate most efficiently when used in conjunction with underfloor heating. Nu-Heat’s range of heating controls will optimise system performance and the latest generation of thermal store cylinder, the EnergyMaster2™ is available with solar coils to ensure maximum environmental benefit.
Comfort
Radiators heat the air by convection, drawing cold air across the floor and up to the ceiling. In contrast, underfloor heating produces mainly radiant warmth. The entire floor is heated meaning warmth is radiated evenly causing no stuffiness, draughts or cold spots. Feet are gently warmed whilst the head is cool – ideal comfort conditions.
