Designing the right mix: UFH and radiators combined


separate circuits and zones, while radiators can provide targeted heating in individual rooms. With appropriate controls, occupants can adjust temperatures according to their requirements rather than heating the entire building to the same level. A combined approach also lends

UFH is well suited to spaces where consistent, even heat is required, while radiators can provide a responsive source of heat where temperatures need to be raised quickly. Bringing the two together allows each technology to play to its strengths, creating a flexible, energy-


efficient heating system that can respond to different room types and heating requirements. Designing for flexibility Flexibility starts with being able to heat different spaces according to how they are actually used. UFH can be divided into


itself well to low-temperature heating. UFH operates at relatively low flow temperatures, while modern low- temperature radiators can deliver effective heat at reduced system temperatures. When designed as part of a wider low- temperature system, both can work effectively alongside technologies such as heat pumps or condensing boilers. For renovation projects, combining emitters can solve a very practical design challenge. Installing UFH throughout an existing building is not always appropriate or achievable. Retaining or adding radiators in some areas, while introducing UFH where it makes most sense, allows the heating system to respond to the constraints of the building rather than the other way around. Getting the specification right The key is to design UFH and radiators as one coordinated heating system. Different emitters can have different flow temperature requirements, making system design, hydraulic balancing and temperature control important considerations from the outset. Effective control is equally important.


Different zones and emitters need to operate independently, while avoiding conflicting demands on the wider heating system. For specifiers, working with a manufacturer with expertise across both technologies can simplify this process. Myson offers a comprehensive range of UFH systems, radiators and controls, supported by experience in designing heating solutions for different applications. Speak to the experts at Myson for a


coordinated heating solution designed around your project’s individual requirements.
