UNDERFLOOR HEATING

Comfort: Underfloor heating and radiators work together to enhance comfort. In bathrooms, for example, where underfloor heating provides warm floors and quick-drying surfaces, and a radiator provides extra heat when needed, creating the ideal environment. Energy efficiency: A combined system offers great energy efficiency, especially when you combine underfloor heating with low-temperature radiators and a heat pump, or condensing boiler.
Best of both: underfloor heating & radiators
When planning and installing a home heating system, many feel they must choose between underfloor heating and radiators. But every building has its own unique needs, so there’s no one-size-fits-all solution
Underfloor heating vs radiators
Both underfloor heating and radiators have their pros and cons. Underfloor heating frees up valuable wall space, offers comfortable warmth, and can be split into zones which enables setting the preferred temperature per room or zone. Radiators, on the other hand, react fast to temperature changes in the room due to their lower water content and lower thermal mass.
Why combine underfloor heating and radiators?
“Myson is one of the few manufacturers to offer both underfloor heating and radiators”, says Julian Clegg, technical sales manager. “We believe a combined heating system provides a more comprehensive solution with numerous benefits. It offers flexibility, improved energy efficiency, and an all-in-one heating option for any property.”
Key advantages explained
Flexibility: A hybrid heating system offers design flexibility, especially in renovations. Radiators suit areas where underfloor heating is hard to retrofit, while underfloor heating works well in open-plan spaces and bathrooms. Precise control: Underfloor heating can easily be split into separate zones thanks to separate heating circuits and installation distances, while radiators can be installed freely in specific areas. Temperatures can then be adjusted room-by-room, based on specific needs and habits, reducing energy waste.

Optimised design, intelligent control
According to Julian, the key to an optimal heating solution lies in the considered combination of the different parts of the system. “As experts in heating solutions, we help customers optimise that combination in 4 key areas; system design and planning, pipe network and heating circuit temperature differentiation, correct balancing of the emitters, and the control systems.” “A proper calculation is essential for the optimal functioning of an underfloor heating system. This applies especially in new build as today’s buildings are much better insulated, so they have a lower heat demand. We offer an inhouse heating design and calculation service, whereby our experts can help with every step of the process, from a preliminary calculation to pricing and bill of materials.” Careful planning ensures that a hybrid heating
system works efficiently. The most effective control solution is zoning with separate thermostats, which means that each area runs independently. Myson has a range of smart controls, Unisenza and Unisenza Plus, each offering precise temperature control and zoning technology for both radiators and underfloor heating. With only a few components, it’s very easy to
make different combinations and configure an entire building with a single controls range. The system can be controlled via an app from anywhere, at any time. It can even be voice-controlled when linked to any of the well-known home automation systems on the market. If you have any questions regarding the
combination of underfloor heating and radiators, or need support with heating system design, contact Myson via their website,
