How does underfloor heating work?
Installing underfloor heating in your home is a great way to keep your living space warm and cosy. There are two types of underfloor heating, and they work in different ways.
Water underfloor heating is made up of a circuit of pipes that are installed below your flooring. These pipes span the entire area of your room and are filled with warm water from your boiler. The water is constantly replenished, diffusing heat through your floor.
Electric underfloor heating is a newer technology that doesn’t require a connection to your boiler. This type of underfloor heating comprises a range of mats and wires that form a coil pattern under your flooring. The wires are then heated using electricity to warm your floor and home.
How long does underfloor heating take to warm up?
This really comes down to the type of underfloor heating you choose.
-
Electric underfloor heating will start warming up immediately, heating your floor in minutes.
-
Water underfloor heating, on the other hand, can take up to three hours to fully heat your floor and home. This means planning ahead is vital.
