Advantages of Underfloor Heating

Nowadays, underfloor heating in an apartment or a houses is becoming standard and more common. This is due to the many benefits it offers. A very important element—most often mentioned by satisfied clients after their purchase—is choosing a reliable manufacturer and an experienced installer.

Even Temperature Distribution in the Room

Properly installed traditional or dry construction underfloor heating allows for an even temperature distribution in the room. This directly translates into the daily comfort and well-being of the building’s occupants. Properly installed underfloor heating should eliminate the occurrence of cold and warm zones in your home, which was common with radiator heating. With underfloor heating, we no longer have to freeze on cold days while sticking to radiators, waiting for a burst of warmth in one area. Every place in our home should be equally well-heated and comfortable, except for places that are intentionally kept cooler, like a pantry where we store daily food and preserves.

The popular “underfloor heating” provides an almost ideal vertical temperature distribution, significantly increasing the comfort of using home spaces. Underfloor heating is an excellent and efficient solution, especially for large rooms, where areas away from the radiator often used to be much cooler. Even temperature distribution is particularly useful in, for example, a living room with a kitchen annex, which is typically a large area in homes and apartments. Installing underfloor heating allows us to comfortably spend time both playing with children in the middle of the carpet or sitting on the couch by the window. It also prevents situations where a child or a favourite pet could burn themselves by touching an overly heated radiator.

Lower Operating Costs

Underfloor heating offers significant benefits related to lower operating costs. This is especially important in the face of constantly rising energy resource prices, resulting in increased heating bills. With underfloor heating, household members feel thermal comfort at a lower room temperature compared to a radiator-based heating system. Generating less energy—and most importantly, not wasting it—allows both to lower heating bills and to reduce the negative impact of our heating system on the environment. Properly installed underfloor heating generates substantial savings over the entire heating season.

If we particularly care about environmental protection and high energy efficiency, it is worth considering choosing the appropriate heat source. One of the most ecological solutions is to use underfloor heating combined with a heat pump. However, before choosing a specific system or device, it is always worth getting some basic advice from a heating specialist instead of searching for solutions on your own. Consulting an expert and preparing a professional project will allow you to tailor the solutions to the individual energy needs of a specific building, saving time and money while achieving optimal heating system efficiency.

Greater Arrangement Flexibility in Rooms

Underfloor heating is not only about thermal comfort and savings but also about aesthetics in the home. Underfloor heating performs much better when arranging rooms. The entire installation with heating pipes is under the floor finish, saving a lot of wall space where dust-collecting radiators used to hang in our parents’ homes. Freedom in arranging space is one of the main reasons why investors choose underfloor heating in an apartment. Is it worth it? Of course, it is. From this perspective, the investment is really worthwhile. The decision to choose underfloor heating translates into exceptional flexibility in designing and placing furniture, significantly improving the aesthetics of interiors. Your home or apartment furnishings will be even better planned, positively affecting your daily life comfort and practical use of rooms. This is another advantage that cannot be overlooked in the process of choosing a heating system for your home.

Maintenance-Free Heating Solution

Underfloor heating is a modern and practically maintenance-free heating solution. A system tailored to the users’ requirements and the type of building helps enjoy thermal comfort for many years, even during 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 the occupants are absent from the rooms during the day. The system can be programmed to automatically lower the temperature while the children are at school and the parents are at work and heat the rooms just before they return.

Efficient and Reliable Solution for Years

The fifth highlighted advantage 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 effectively compared to radiator heating. Modern underfloor heating systems, when properly installed by an experienced installer, maintain reliability and fail-safe operation for many years. It is not without reason that, as Sander System, we offer our clients a 10-year warranty on our implementations. This ensures that you do not have to worry about costly renovations and can be confident that the products, solutions, and components chosen for the heating system minimize the risk of failures and further costs. The offered warranty is an additional safeguard. Why do we offer it? Because we are confident in the high quality and reliability of our implementations.

Underfloor Heating – Allergy-Friendly Solution

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