Underfloor Central heating

Underfloor heating is easier to install, control and maintain then conventional heating. It is suitable for new builds as well as existing systems. It is ideal for extensions, especially conservatories and for heating individual rooms.

Underfloor heating works with almost all types of floors from carpeting and tiles to concrete and timber.

Heating can either be controlled by individual rooms, by a central system or automatically by temperature.

It is extremely safe and requires very little maintenance.

System
Warm water from the boiler system is circulated through continuous lengths of pipe embedded in the floor, each room has its own circuit and all circuits are connected to a distribution manifold. As each room has its own circuit it is a simple process to apply room temperature control, a thermostat is fitted in the room and connected to an electrically operated valve on the circuit serving that room.

	Control Unlike conventional radiator systems, each room with underfloor heating is able to have its own thermostat which can be controlled independently, thus saving energy and money on running costs. The low heat gradients and low humidity variations characteristic of underfloor heating create a kind environment for you and for your furniture
	Standard Control The water temperature flowing in the floor is set and adjusted by the end user to suit the occupants requirements, this coupled with individual room thermostats (including bathrooms), time control and a wiring centre provides a comprehensive control system. The end user will alter the flow temperature according to the external conditions, from approximately 35-40 deg C in spring and autumn to approximately 50-55 deg C in the winter.
	Weather Compensation Control Using this method the flow temperature is constantly being adjusted to suit the prevailing conditions. Once time and temperature settings have been programmed into the control unit no further input is required by the end user. The floor warming system will operate at optimum efficiency within the programmed inputs, providing the best possible comfort level at the lowest running costs.
	Maintenance and Safety Underfloor heating systems require less maintenance than conventional heating systems. Unlike radiators, underfloor heating systems do not have individual valves in each room, which are prone to fail from time to time. Likewise, underfloor heating systems do not need to be manually bled.
	The risk of injury particularly to children and the elderly through the high temperatures or sharp corners of radiators is removed. The circulation of dust and dust mites is reduced. There are no radiators to collect dust and spiders' webs or to be cleaned, redecorated or renewed. The low heat gradients and low humidity variations characteristic of underfloor heating create a kind environment for you and for your furniture, antique or modern.
