increasingly being specified over traditional
radiator systems and establishing a reputation

Underfloor Heating is an invisible and silent method of
improving our level of thermal control. thermal comfort
can be described as the point at which the human body
feels at ease and comfortable with the surrounding
environment as can be seen in the diagram to the left.

There are many factors that influence the way people feel
the temperature, such as direct sunshine, humidity,
draught and how evenly the temperature is distributed.
With underfloor radiant heating the feeling of thermal
comfort can be increased, as the temperature is stable
and there is no draught. As well as benefiting from
increased comfort and reduced running costs installing an
underfloor heating solution adds to the safety,
attractiveness and value of the house itself.

Underfloor heating's main advantages are:

* High levels of comfort
* More economical method of heating a house than
conventional systems
* Doesn’t use up wall space
* No hazardous wall projections
* High levels of controls

Underfloor heating works best at temperatures of 27/28°C
this is ideal temperatures for systems such as geothermal,
air-water and biomass heating systems that have option
performance in producing these temperatures over the
temperatures of circa 65°C with traditional radiator heating
systems.
