Why Underfloor Heating ?

Underfloor heating has been widely used in mainland Europe for over 30 years, with some 60% of all new installations in Germany and Scandinavia being underfloor. Increasingly, underfloor heating is specified and installed in the UK and Ireland for a variety of buildings, including homes, schools, sports halls, leisure centres and hospitals. Underfloor heating is becoming the preferred heating method for domestic and commercial applications.

A flexible Pert-Al-Pert pipe carrying warm water is laid below the floor, it releases heat, raising the temperature of the floor surface which, in turn, radiates heat evenly into the room.

It is radiant heat from the sun that allows us to feel warm even on a cold day when the air temperature is low.

With underfloor heating, the whole floor acts as a radiant surface, a large low temperature heat emitter radiating heat evenly into a room. Half of the output is radiated from the floor and the other half rises as warm convected air, but unlike radiators or warm air blowers, these air currents are rising in the same plane as a person and are almost imperceptible. As shown above.
