Advantages Of Underfloor Heating
Energy efficient & Low Running Costs
Underfloor heating gives the user control, provides rapid heat- up and high efficiency heating. It requires significantly less energy and enables temperature control as needed so no energy is wasted.
Comfort & Warm Floors
Warmth radiates from floor level, where the heat gently rises upwards, heating the room evenly.
Tailored Temperature Control
Zoned heating control allows you to choose the temperature you want, in areas you want and at the perfect time to suit your schedule.
Design Freedom
The system is invisible and depending on the heat loss of your room, frees up wall space as bulky radiators are not needed. This gives you more space to be used and enjoyed.
Reduced Dust Circulation
With radiators, the heat coming from the radiator goes upwards towards the ceiling, the heated air continues to move around the room until the radiator is turned off, taking dust particles in the room with it. Underfloor heating reduces dust circulation significantly.
Safer
Contrary to radiators, there are no hot low-level surfaces or hard metal edges for children to either burn or injure themselves on. Underfloor heating systems are child friendly.
Low Maintenance
Once the electric underfloor heating system has been fitted, it does not require any maintenance, you fit and forget.
More Hygienic
With radiators, the floor is constantly exposed to moisture because the air that was heated by the radiator has absorbed moisture from the air in the room, and, when it cools down, brings that moisture down to the floor. This is why you get more dust mites on the floor with radiators. Underfloor heating prevents this from happening.

Suitable Floor Coverings
Tiles
Due to their excellent thermal conductivity properties; stone, slate, ceramic & porcelain tiles make ideal floor coverings for underfloor heating. They transmit heat evenly and are unaffected by changes in temperature or humidity.
The heat transmission characteristics of tiles are also beneficial in that they hold onto heat for a long time and distribute it more evenly across the floor, providing greater comfort.
It is important that any adhesives or grout used must be suitable for use with underfloor heating.
Wooden Flooring
Engineered timber is best option of wooden flooring with underfloor heating. Its dimensional stability when exposed to varying levels of humidity allows it to perform well all year long.
Solid wood is an insulator, which means that it slows down the speed at which the heat goes from the system into the room.
The maximum temperature to which a wooden floor can be heated, according to most manufacturers, is 27°C.
Vinyl / Linoleum
These floor coverings usually have low thermal resistance. They tend to heat up and cool down quickly in comparison to stone and timber.
As such, to allow for efficient operation, it is important than any glues/adhesives used are suitable for use with underfloor heating.
Warmup is the approved underfloor heating supplier for Karndean and Amtico flooring solutions.
Carpet
Carpets can be used with underfloor heating but there are some factors that you need to take into consideration when choosing the carpet.
All carpets have a tog rating. This indicates how insulating the carpet is (how thick it is). If your carpet is too thick, you won’t feel the warmth of the underfloor heating system.
In order to get the best results from the underfloor heating system the carpet and underlay used must not exceed a tog rating of 1.5.
