Underfloor Heating uses mainly radiant heat, the most comfortable form of heating, giving an even distribution of warmth over the whole room.
By contrast, radiators transfer energy using convection. They heat the air above and around the radiator to a much higher temperature, causing the warm air to rise. This results in the floor being the coolest place in the room, with the mass of warm air at the ceiling level.
Underfloor heating resolves this issue by ensuring no more cold spots and that heat is distributed evenly where it is needed most. A conventional radiator can be as hot as 75°C, whilst an underfloor heating system has a much lower and safer surface temperature between 25-27°C.

Underfloor heating distributes a lower warm water temperature through a circuit of pipes beneath the finished floor. Intelligent thermostats monitor and control heat to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the property or individual zones. Any heat source, including conventional boilers and renewable ground/air heat source pumps, can be used.
Individual room thermostats control when heating is required in each room and the desired temperature. Our intelligent thermostats and smart underfloor heating controls signal the wiring centre to let it know when heat is needed.
The wiring centre performs central switching of zone actuators, control pack and boiler as signalled by the room thermostats. The wiring centre controls the manifold, which turns the boiler on and sends heat to the room when required.
Pipe circuits
When heat is switched on, the entire floor area is warmed via the pipe circuits to between 25°C - 28°C, providing even heat distribution at slightly higher than room temperature.
Underfloor heating control
Warm water is pumped from the heat source to the control pack and mixed to approx. 50°C. The control pack is fitted to the manifold that connects the pipe circuits installed on the floor.
