Underfloor Heating has proven itself
to be comfortable, reliable in operation and a good-value solution
to heating modern buildings.
As the maintenance-free pipe work is included
in the floor construction, the usual constraints imposed by radiators
disappear. Space within the room is freed up for people, furnishings
or equipment.
Using timers and programmers to control room thermostats
and manifold circuit actuators, the UFH system can be set to meet
the requirements of occupants of individual rooms or zones.
Our warm water underfloor heating uses PEX pipe and provides
a long-life, economical solution to heating most types of
building
The high radiant component and the temperature gradient of
the heat output provides a comfortable, warm environment for
the occupants of the building
Apart from the manifolds (which are generally located in
an unobtrusive place) and the room thermostats, the UFH system
is invisible. This maximises the room space available and
offers flexibility for interior design.
In public buildings, the absence of visible heat emitters
eliminates the risk of damage due to accident or vandalism
The low operating temperature of warm water UFH (generally
45°c - 50°c degree with a 10°c drop) means that
UFH allows condensing boilers to operate in their most efficient
mode
The heating systems can be controlled using timers/programmers
and individual rooms can each have their own room thermostat
The PEX pipework is maintenance-free and is not affected
by corrosion inhibitors which may be present in the heating
system
Underfloor Heating can be used in conjunction with radiators
- in fact it is quite common. Both systems can be fed from
the same heat source but the UFH requires a pump and mixing
valve set to reduce the flow temperature
