Types of Water Underfloor Heating

What is water underfloor heating?
Heating a home or business can be a daunting task, but with water underfloor heating, those fears can be eased. With the latest technology and an even spread of heat across your property, wet underfloor heating has never been more efficient. With benefits such as aesthetics, comfort, safety and an easy-to-control system, a water solution is the ultimate avenue to warming your home.

How does water underfloor heating work?
Water underfloor heating works by distributing warm water flowing through an array of connected pipes that are installed beneath the floor. Connected to a thermostat, the desired temperature can be selected and the water will warm up accordingly. The heat from the pipes then radiates up through the floor covering, warming both the floor and the room above to the selected temperature.
