UNDERFLOOR HEATING
STAY ON TOPP OF TEMPERATURE
Michael Van Sittert, Essentials Buyer at Topps Tiles, offers his advice on
the different types of underfloor heating and how it can be used to create a comfortable space without compromising on style.
As more and more property owners look to improve their house rather than move, there are many opportunities for installers to up-sell products, especially if they can enhance their customer’s lifestyle, and even more so if they can help to cut utility bills. Underfloor heating does all of these things, making it the perfect product to recommend to consumers.
Why choose underfloor heating?
The benefits of using underfloor heating are vast, offering a fantastic up-selling opportunity when discussing additional extras with a customer. Aside from high comfort levels, underfloor heating offers improved efficiency when fitted correctly, as well as greater heating control. As each system is controlled via a thermostat, it enables the householder to

set the temperature to the desired level, allowing them to monitor and control their energy usage and costs.
Many people assume that installing, running and maintaining a whole house electrical heating system will be more expensive than a water-based or gas boiler system, but this is not the case. Electric underfloor heating can use much less energy than warm water heating when properly zoned and controlled, not least because it offers a heat-up time of minutes rather than hours.
Underfloor heating also reduces humidity in the home, thereby preventing dust mites from surviving and dust from circulating – perfect for those who suffer from allergies and asthma, another important factor for installers to remember when discussing the product.
