RISING HEAT
As winter draws in and the majority of us are spending more time inside, homeow say underfloor heating
With 2020 almost finished and most of us feeling we haven’t achieved much this year, many people have turned their attention to one of the constants in their lives, their homes.
Now that summer is well and truly over and the gardening season done, it’s the indoor jobs that are now at the forefront. In the early months of lockdown, up to 75% of UK residents were taking part in DIY tasks and hardware stores saw sales rocket as people began looking for ways to update and improve their homes. So. in these colder months, it’s only natural that homeowners are thinking more about their heating.
“With no need to dig up floors, there’s no reason installing
underfloor heating should impact on the run up to Christmas.”
For those working from home or just generally spending more time inside, underfloor heating is an ideal feature to keep families comfortable as the temperatures drop. A large number of British cottages in particular are built with thick stone walls and high ceilings, but more traditional homes can also be hard to heat. With an innovative overfloor heating system like Wundatherm, all properties have the ability to be as warm and as comfortable as a modern home.
With 2020 changing the way we work, energy bills could be set to rise by up to 18% for home workers this winter
according to new research. And as many employees no longer work from the office, their personal energy bills could be about to rocket to around £1.9bn nationwide due to the increased use of heating and lighting.

Winter is a time when gas and electricity usage rises by around 36% of that during the summer, and this is likely to increase even more now that more people are at home full time. Underfloor heating is not only cost-effective and efficient, but is popular as it is unobtrusive and doesn’t have to interfere with the character of the home. This means it is hidden from view and away from children, doesn’t intrude on the design of a room and is a more effective way for heating homes. With no need to dig up floors, there’s no reason installing underfloor heating should impact on the run up to Christmas in your home.
