Affordable Warmth Feature
Guaranteeing system efficiency and affordable warmth has never been more important
warmth long into the future. In fact, if the pipe is not disturbed during its use, it can be expected to outlive the life of the building itself! When it comes to broader property maintenance, underfloor heating,
specifically hydronic (water-based) underfloor heating, is the only solution that can heat all surfaces in the room evenly. Tis radiant form of heat creates evenly warm spaces, and because warm air holds more moisture than cool air, that room can hold more moisture rather than depositing it as condensation and, subsequently, mould growth. Safety will be a top priority with any specification choice, especially when
young children, elderly or vulnerable occupants need to be considered. Safety comes as standard with underfloor heating as the system offers all the warmth tenants desire without the danger of any hot surfaces. Plus, given that underfloor heating is completely concealed within the floor, the technology is also out of sight and thus eliminates the potential for radiator vandalism. Radiant technology eliminates air movement from the heating system as it heats the fabric of a room and doesn’t use air as a medium to transport heat, further improving indoor air quality. Te ‘hidden’ nature of underfloor heating also benefits all parties from a
space-saving and interior layout perspective. As the heat emitters become part of the floor construction, every inch of floor and wall space can be maximised. As such, both landlords and residents alike will benefit from the total floorplan freedom, allowing space for everything from kitchen floor plans and furniture layouts to increasing accessibility within the property. Now is the time to heat homes from the ground up and specify a solution
suitable for almost every type of site and subfloor. Tis will help households keep their energy bills under control and guarantee affordable warmth.
