Underfloor Heating distributes radiant heat from a single heat source within a building, as compared to the alternative radiators which deliver heat through convection causing air movement and hot ceilings. Underfloor heating can deliver an additional level of comfort and running cost efficiency due to the singular heat source being a radiant emitter.
Water is heated by a traditional boiler or renewable heat source such as a heat pump or boiler and pumped around under the surface of the floor through a series of pipes connected to a central manifold. From here the heat is transferred from the underfloor heating pipes into the room via the floor.
