The rise in underfloor heating continues – but how do consumers know which system to buy? That’s a question posed by Sam Jump, product manager, Wunda Group

underfloor heating? U
nderfloor heating is no longer reserved for the lucky elite. Growing at a rapid rate of 13% year on year, it is becoming more desirable and affordable than ever before. But with so many systems to choose from it
can be hard to cut through the noise. Simply put, there has been a large boom in underfloor heating. This has been a long time coming, but is now here thanks to our desire for energy efficient solutions at home driven by the green revolution. More recently this has been compounded by the increasing time we have spent at home over the past two years and a desire to invest in our comfort and spend more on home improvements. Insulation aside, underfloor heating is one of the best things you can do to
improve heating at home during retrofitting, but not all underfloor heating systems are equal. We knew that for underfloor heating to be desired by the masses, we had to solve the problem of performance, control, easy installation and affordability.
No more burying under inches of screed
Underfloor heating was originally developed to heat large spaces such as airport lounges, runways and all-weather football pitches. This was achieved by burying pipes in screed which heated a thermal mass under the floor and warmed the surface. This system can work well if the heating is permanently switched on but it is not an efficient solution in homes where we want to quickly adjust the temperature to suit our needs. A common misconception of underfloor heating is that installation requires huge disruption. But the truth is that this school of thought has been overplayed in domestic settings for too long. We have reinvented underfloor heating and our quick to install Wundatherm system can actually be laid directly on top of your existing flooring rather than digging up your floors which is required for screed systems that need to be buried beneath six inches of screed and cement. Thanks to the aluminum and polystyrene boards with close pipe centres, the system is a
