Underfloor heating is a choice for conscious customers

The advantages of underfloor heating

More and more owners of single-family homes and apartments opt for this type of heating system. Why is the popular “underfloor heating” an effective, efficient, economical, and comfortable solution? In this article, we will present the key advantages of underfloor heating. Check out which of these make customers increasingly prefer it without giving up traditional radiators.

Underfloor Heating – Advantages

In today’s times, underfloor heating in an apartment or single-family home is becoming a standard and increasingly common solution. This results from the many benefits it offers. A very important aspect – often mentioned by satisfied customers after completing the purchase – is choosing a reputable manufacturer and experienced installer. High-quality systems and the knowledge possessed by professionals directly translate into confidence that the installed system will be trouble-free, reliable, and will bring high value to the building owner from the first days of operation. Below, we present 6 key benefits of using underfloor heating.

Even Distribution of Temperature in the Room

Properly installed traditional or dry underfloor heating allows for achieving an even distribution of temperature in the room. This directly translates into the comfort of daily life and the well-being of people staying in the building. Properly installed underfloor heating should eliminate the occurrence of cold and warm zones in your home, as was the case with radiator heating. By installing underfloor heating, on chilly days, we no longer have to freeze while sticking to radiators, waiting for warmth in one zone. Every area in our home should be equally well heated and comfortable. Of course, except for places where it’s intentionally cooler, such as a pantry where we store daily food and preserves.

Popular “underfloor heating” provides an almost ideal, vertical distribution of temperature, significantly increasing the comfort of using home spaces. Underfloor heating is a very good and efficient solution, especially for large rooms, where apart from the zone close to the radiator, significantly cooler zones usually prevailed. Even temperature distribution is practically useful, for example, for a living room with a kitchenette, which is usually a fairly large area in houses and apartments. By installing underfloor heating, we can comfortably spend time both playing with children in the middle of the carpet and sitting on the sofa by the window. We also avoid situations where a child or a pet could burn themselves by touching a radiator that’s too hot.

Lower Operating Costs

Underfloor heating offers significant benefits in terms of lower operating costs. This is particularly important in the face of constantly rising prices of energy resources, resulting in increased heating costs. By using underfloor heating, homeowners feel thermal comfort at a lower room temperature than with a radiator-based heating system. Generating less energy – and above all, not wasting it – allows for both reducing heating bills and reducing the negative impact of our heating system on the environment. Properly installed underfloor heating generates significant savings over the entire heating season.

If we particularly care about environmental care and high energy efficiency, it’s also worth considering the choice of the right heat source. One of the most environmentally friendly solutions is to use underfloor heating in conjunction with a heat pump. Before choosing a specific system or device, however, it’s always worth getting a few basic pieces of advice from a heating specialist instead of seeking solutions on our own. Consulting with an expert and preparing a professional project will allow us to tailor solutions to the individual energy needs of a specific building and also save time and money by gaining optimal heating system efficiency.

Greater Design Flexibility in Rooms

Underfloor heating is not only thermal comfort and savings but also care for aesthetics in the home. Underfloor heating is much better suited for arranging rooms. The entire installation with heating pipes is located under the finishing surface of the floor, which saves a lot of space on walls, where in our parents’ houses, dust-absorbing radiators used to hang. Freedom in arranging space is one of the main reasons why investors opt for underfloor heating in apartment blocks. Is it worth it? Of course, it is. From this perspective, the investment is truly well-made.

The decision to choose underfloor heating translates into exceptional flexibility in designing and arranging furniture, significantly improving the aesthetics of interiors. Equipping your home or apartment will be even better planned, which will positively affect the comfort of your daily life and practical use of the rooms.

Maintenance-Free

Heating Solution Underfloor heating is a modern and practically maintenance-free heating solution. Properly tailored to users’ requirements and the type of building system will help enjoy thermal comfort for many years, even on the coldest winter days. In the case of a dry heating system, which heats up quickly and cools down quickly, it also provides additional possibilities for controlling the temperature in each room separately. This solution is particularly useful when household members are absent from the rooms during the day.

Efficient and Reliable Solution for Years

The fifth of the highlighted advantages of underfloor heating is its reliability. This goes hand in hand with the high efficiency of the system, where thermal energy is used much more efficiently compared to heating using radiators. Modern underfloor heating systems, in the case of proper installation by an experienced installer, maintain reliability and trouble-free operation for many years. Not without reason, as Sander System, we offer our customers a 10-year warranty on the projects carried out by us. An additional safeguard is the offered warranty. Why do we provide it? Because we are confident in the high quality and reliability of our projects.

Underfloor Heating – Allergy-Friendly Solution

One of the greatest advantages of underfloor heating is also avoiding convective air movements. Underfloor heating is a type of low-temperature installation, where heat exchange occurs 70% through floor surface radiation. There are almost no mass air movements in this case, which benefits allergy sufferers and people with respiratory diseases. This is because much less dust and allergens are suspended in the air.

When it comes to underfloor heating, the benefits of this system will certainly be appreciated even by the most demanding customers. Our specialists will carefully review your needs and prepare a heating project tailored to the parameters and energy capabilities of your building.  We invite you to contact a our advisor and to take advantage of our offer: sales@underfloorheatingexpert.uk
