How does underfloor heating provide the temperature required?
Underfloor heating provides gentle heat over the entire floor area of your rooms. In comparison, a radiator system has to produce high temperatures to move heat around a room from one or two wall positions. Radiators also use convection – they draw cold air from the floor and convect it up towards the ceiling. The room is hottest at the ceiling, above your head, which is not where you want the warmth. Underfloor systems mainly produce radiant heat – directly heating objects and people, just like the sun on a cold day. They also concentrate the warmth where you need at, at your feet. You then have warm feet and a cool head, which is the ideal temperature profile for maximum comfort.
