Underfloor heating is essentially a length of multi-layered pipe installed into a heat sink - generally a screeded solid floor base - with warm water introduced into the pipe from a pumped manifold. This warms the complete slab, introducing a comfortable and even temperature, and enables the property to be heated using substantially less energy than radiators. Once the floor is up to temperature it only needs small inputs of energy to maintain it.
Underfloor heating is an excellent way to heat a property, especially when utilising low carbon and renewable heat technologies.
With recent improvements to building regulations and insulation materials, the benefits of underfloor heating are further enhanced. Running costs can be cut by as much as 30-50%, and the space has no hot or cold areas - increasing comfort and allowing complete freedom of interior design.
Here at Evoheat we have been designing and installing underfloor heating systems for over a decade. Every system encounters different design concepts, especially when working with renewable heat sources, so we design a system that is cost effective and suits both the property and the client’s needs.
